Well, we’ve come to the end of another year, and it’s time to look back over all we’ve achieved in 2015. We’re happy to report that things are looking good for t ward shipping; our forwarding work is certainly in demand as we’re up 25 per cent compared to 2014 and an amazing 50 per cent compared to 2013!
We’ve certainly been busy, and had the pleasure of working with some interesting companies and organisations. In January we worked with Stretch Tent Scotland, assisting them with a shipment of specialist tents from Cape Town, and using our expertise to help them avoid large fees for importing. We’ve admired the products imported by Dumfries based firm Second Nature, who we helped to bring beautiful rugs from exotic countries like India and Morocco. They were very excited as they
watched their shipments sailing all the way across to Scotland.
We’ve worked with The Turing Trust a couple of times in 2015 and hope to continue working with them, as they are such a worthy cause. The charity, which supplies IT and other equipment to disadvantaged communities in countries like Ghana, has asked us to help them transport shipments of containers full of items donated by kind Scottish people, and we’ve been happy to get involved.
Other interesting charity projects we have worked with in 2015 include Edinburgh Direct Aid- a charity involved with sending supplies to Syrian refugees and the International Fire and Rescue Charity who supply equipment to Paraguay, Mexico and Bosnia (among many other places).
We were also pleased to work with award-winning chocolatiers The Chocolate Tree when they needed to import special confectionery making machinery from Italy.
So, t ward goes from strength to strength, helping businesses with their shipping needs, and while the business is expanding, we also have news of a more personal delivery; the Hamilton family are due for a new arrival in mid-January with their second baby due on 13th.
Merry Christmas to all our customers, old and new, and we wish you a happy, healthy and successful
2016.
