Today, the biggest thing on our minds should be thinking about the millions of people who have been killed in conflict. Our day to day challenges pale into insignificance in comparison.

Good luck to our Financial Director Darren Williams, who is having his eyes corrected by laser today. If we thought it was hard to get expenses approved before, it will be impossible now!

I was updated over the weekend on a situation which I believe most logistics companies would have said "it is outside our control" or "outside our responsibility".
Our team in Glasgow did not think like this and the result was a negative situation was turned into a positive one. I received a client message this morning as per below which is a great start to a Monday morning, my thanks and appreciation to the Glasgow staff.
"Catriona, This is just a mail to say thanks for the support of you and your team on Saturday. It looks like the cause of the confusion was the cargo wasn't fully unloaded from the plane in Houston on Friday. As you know the crate arrived in Houston on Saturday evening, our team in the US worked late into the evening on Saturday to retrieve a difficult situation and satisfy our customers needs. Thanks again for your support."

For staff based in YRCL Egham office this Sunday 25.10.09 you can give blood at Egham Youth Centre. If you are not a blood donor already if you log onto
https://secure.blood.co.uk/ you can register plus establish the next venue in your area. It is one of those things we can all do that saves lives but costs nothing.

I had an interesting meeting this week during which we agreed to partner with a company that will now allow us to offer UK distribution of parcels & Pallets for our clients. Over the past two years we have been able to deliver significant savings to our clients with our European Transportation Management system and we believe that we will now be able to do the same for UK parcels using an advanced technology solution that selects the best service provider for each shipment as well as managing, tracking and reporting on each delivery, so what is
normally a labour intensive task for our clients to complete in house, could now be
greatly reduced if not eliminated.
