Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year
From all of us here at Transport 29 Ltd, we’d like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year too. 2022 has been a rollercoaster of a year, from the revolving door of Prime Ministers, war in Ukraine, soaring fuel prices, striking labour forces, and the loss of Queen Elizabeth. As the festive period approaches though, there is much to celebrate and be thankful for when reflecting upon the last twelve months.
At the beginning of the year, we started trading and searching for those all important first few customers to get us off the ground. We spent almost every moment of the working day making calls, sending emails and chatting to local businesses to try and get our foot in the door. Although at times it was an uphill battle, we pushed through and were lucky to have success in finding customers who would trust a new business. As time passed, one customer turned to two and those two then became and handful and so on, until we found ourselves in a position where we could start paying ourselves a wage.
During the middle part of the year, we then progressed further and were able to take a leap and bring Harry on full-time. Since then, more customers have come onboard, and we’ve been able to provide an even better level of service and think towards the long-term of Transport 29. With a clear vision in mind, we then invested in training for ourselves, not least HGV experience for Harry. After an intensive course, Harry passed his HGV licence in the final quarter in 2022 and that brings us to where we are now.
As we approach the end of the year, our sights are set firmly on 2023 and where we want to take the business. Until now, we’ve offered nationwide delivery on a small fleet of vans, only providing larger vehicles via other transport partners and third parties. That’s all changing! Whilst our original fleet will remain and we will continue to provide the same high level of service to our existing customers, we will soon be adding something a little larger to the fleet! Watch this space…
We would like to finish by saying a huge and heartfelt thank you to every single person who has taken time to support us during our first year of trading, whether that’s family, friends, customers or suppliers. We absolutely could not run this business and make a success of it without you.
