Here are some examples of staff transport contracts

In 2004 we moved around 300 people every day for Walmart. The time scales were a six day week with an estimated finish period of 8 weeks. Staff were being trained for a new Asda Superstore and had to be ferried to various Asda stores all over Merseyside to be trained. For us this meant we had to run three 49 seaters starting at 0700 running shifts throughout the day with the last run at midnight.

We got involved very early on this contract and helped sort out the rotation of staff and shift patterns. Once all the boxes were ticked we started moving the staff. Such was the success that further training groups were scheduled and the contract actually ran for a further 4 weeks.

In 2005 Barclays hired us in to transport 64 employees per day to Manchester for training. We purchased a new vehicle for this contract and it covered 4 return trips to Manchester five days a week for 16 weeks. Our involvement in the planning was limited to possible problems, backup and risk assessment.

In 2006 Esure.com approached us with a view to transporting 150 staff per day from Liverpool to Manchester. This was to run from 0700 to 2100 and transport 3 to 4 shifts per day. The contract was to run for around 4 months and would involve one 49 seater for the first 6 weeks then another 49 seater, a 24 seater and a 16 seater. We offered Esure the chance to advertise their brand on one of our coaches and they were very enthusiastic. The main concern with this contract was the early morning traffic on the M62 but we helped organize the shift patterns to accommodate this. We arranged the vehicle branding in the popular Sheila's Wheels theme and much interest was generated including many media appearances. Not too mention a 40ft advertisement traveling up and down the M62 six times a day! It took a lot of planning for this contract involving up to 5 drivers and 4 vehicles a day. Times were constantly changed and sometimes at the last minute. We understand this and our approach was a flexible one.  We covered over 30,000 miles in around 5 months on this contract incident free.
