Nigel Grainger brings together a related set of skills that all fleets require, to greater or lesser
degrees, but which may not have the staffing or the skills to fulfil those needs.
Bringing his wealth of experience in all areas of fleet management he offers a bespoke service through his company Fleet Risk Consultants, providing you with a cost effective fleet that complies fully with your 'duty of care' requirements.It looks like it will finally turn cold!
The weather forecast in the UK is for it to turn cold and we may be in for some snow. This presents a few hazards, but the biggest is that the majority of drivers in the UK do not know how to drive in snowy conditions.
They are either too cautious, getting nowhere at all, or too gung-ho, sliding into things and people.
If you are too cautious you will find yourself sitting in the same place you started with the snow building up around you, especially at the bottom or top of slopes. With slopes you need to wait until you can go up or down in one motion, you do not want to be stopping on the slope at all.
My advice is, if you have to travel (and most of us do), plan further ahead than normal and increase the distance you need to stop by a factor of four.
Our team are all sporting nice grippy winter tyres, NOT snow tyres. These tyres give improved grip below 7 Celsius and especially in the wet.
More advice can be found here.
Travel safely or you may be needing our services.
