Lawrence High Wycombe / Where It All Began! (Past Picture Post)

If you look closely you can see my Dad
My family are from Buckinghamshire originally
So lots of old pictures to post over the coming weeks, I’m excited to share them with you. But to start at the beginning. In this pic you can see my Granddads lorry, and in one pic my Dad as a child in front of it! (Very old so not great quality) Sadly I never knew my Granddad as he passed away before I was born but I like the thought that I’m doing what I do because of him, of the father he was to Dad and Dad to me. Gramps was a mechanic and driver* just like Dad,  just like Sam and even I started out on the spanners believe it or not (find it hard to believe myself!). I just was a bit shit at it, unlike Sam and Dad! My heart always belonged to driving. Many kids hate the thought they copy their parents! We all did in every way & are proud of it. Also as a result Gramps had a huge influence on the Grandchildren he never met, our lives are shaped by a man who died long before we were born, and I think that’s lovely and the ultimate thing to be remembered for. (I also take after my Mum, not least in our shared love of food and chickens but this isn’t chicken-keeper.com

So Grandad, I wish I could shake your hand and say thank you. 

Happy Sunday all!


* From Dad- He (Gramps) was a mechanic and 🚛 driver at F C Bennett’s transport in Kingston Blount which is now a housing estate and the name of the road is Bennett’s yard

The Flexibility of In-House Training, Without The Cost

I offer you all the advantages of having an in house trainer without the cost or commitment. I will quote for your business based on how many drivers will need training over the course of a year, then you or your drivers can simply contact me when they wish to attend one of my online timetabled courses, taking away all the stress of trying to arrange up to 20 drivers to sit a course on the same day, much more flexible for your business and I take all the stress out of it. Let’s face it running a transport company is stress enough! I run daytime, evening and weekend courses, times to suit everyone. I also find this method is much more popular with the drivers. I am however also happy to quote for your online or in person courses, up to 20 at a time at times and dates to suit you at any location. Everyone who attends my courses and your office staff will be given my contact details and told I’m available at any time to help and advise as required. I’m always here to help customers, basic...
