We recently utilised your sidelifting expertise via our agent to handle our import containers. I have used your services in the past with my previous employer and I am pleased that I have been able to carry them over to my new venture. I understand that we were looked after by one of your newest drivers so I thought I would revert with some feedback. The deliveries and service exceeded the company’s expectations and the business has seen a positive change in the level of service and efficiency with these recent imports. The driver was early on both occasions (which certainly makes a positive change) and we accommodated this accordingly by starting to offload the containers early. Overall it was a great service which we couldn’t fault and the driver was patient and helpful. We look forward to working with you again in the near future.
