Safer Site Deliveries
»»GLASSOLUTIONS’
commercial sealed unit
customers are amongst the first
to benefit from the company’s
£600,000 investment in a new
FORS registered Crossrail
standard vehicle fleet which
makes site deliveries safer and
more efficient.
Five new liveried trucks
have been commissioned by
GLASSOLUTIONS Peterborough
which gives even greater
flexibility to accommodate
the wide variety of site access
situations. And with vehicles
featuring mounted forklifts, these
new trucks eliminate the need
for customers to hire a forklift
on site.
These new vehicles are
operated by GLASSOLUTIONS’
personnel exclusively out of the
Peterborough factory, which is
centrally located for deliveries
anywhere in the country. This
scheme is vital to make fleet
operations safer, more fuel
efficient, more economical and
cutting vehicle emissions in the
process. In practice this means all
the vehicles operating out of the
GLASSOLUTIONS Peterborough
factory are fitted with audible
warning systems.
Ian Croft, operations
manager at GLASSOLUTIONS
Peterborough says: “In
commissioning these new vehicles
we wanted to ensure we keep
improving efficiency and safety
along the way – hence why we’ve
invested in amongst the best
vehicles available in our sector.”

Conquering the Three Peaks
‘raised an impressive £2,140’
28 » OCT 2015 » CL EARVI E W- UK . C O M
»»Five determined members of
the team at Truemans Windows recently
took on the 24.5 mile-long hike on three
of Yorkshire’s highest peaks in a bid to raise
money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
The five set off on their expedition and,
after battling through the physical and mental
exhaustion that the mountains demand,
successfully completed the challenge and
raised an impressive £2,140 for the charity.
MD, Joe Trueman, commented: “We chose
Macmillian Cancer Support as our charity
for 2015 due to the amazing work they have
done for so many individuals and families
that have been affected by cancer. Having the
opportunity to complete the Yorkshire Three
Peak Challenge in aid of this charity was a
great experience and we are very pleased to
have raised a total of £2140.”
After twelve and a half hours the first
members of the group crossed the finish
line, closely followed by the rest of the team.
Having had the chance to reflect on their
achievement, the five agreed that, although
it was one of the hardest challenges they
have ever undertaken, facing cancer alone is
immeasurably tougher.
