    Skills and knowledge development were at the forefront of the latest meeting of the Greater Brighton Economic Board, held Tuesday 18 October in Newhaven. Chairman of the Board, and Leader of Worthing Borough Council, Daniel Humphreys, takes up the story.

    “The Greater Brighton Economic Board is now in its third year of operation and was formed in order to harness the creativity, innovation and determination that flows through the City Region towards a sustainable, resilient, economy.

    “The progress made to date on many of the infrastructure projects is clear and we are now awaiting the Autumn Statement to learn the fate of the Growth Deal Bids we have made this year. Assuming that these are successful, we can expect to see the best part of £1billion invested into the City Region in the medium term with nearly 10,000 jobs created and almost 6,000 homes built for those who are driving our Region’s economy forward, alongside a significant amount of commercial floorspace as well.

    “Underpinning this growth will be a highly educated, skilled workforce with access to lifelong learning opportunities. The Economic Board is driving forward an ambition to create an Apprenticeship Brokerage Service - an innovation which will make it easier for businesses of all sizes to access the training, and workforce, they will need for sustained growth.

    “We know that the apprenticeship landscape is changing and the development of the Brokerage Service is a creative way to improve engagement between schools and businesses, as well as promoting an improved understanding with parents about the potential of apprenticeships for their children.

    “We also know that the current system is not easily navigated for small and medium sized businesses who would benefit the most from it, but who don’t have the time required to become experts in the different options. The Greater Brighton Apprenticeship Brokerage Service would act as a conduit between employers and training providers and help them access the pipeline of talent needed for economic growth.

    “I have been delighted to hear today that we are determined to launch the Brokerage Service and that a consultation is underway via the Employer Action Group - which has representatives across the City Region - with key levy payers in the region to explore how this offer will meet employers’ needs as we approach the advent of the Apprenticeship levy in April 2017. This of course follows on from the launch of the Digital Apprenticeship Service in January, which will see national attention focused on the potential of apprentices.

    “In a major coup for the City Region, we’ve also learnt today that Brighton and Sussex Universities will be co-hosting the British Science Festival 2017 - the first time that it’s been held here since 1983. Between 5th and 9th September 2017, thousands of people will have the opportunity to discover cutting edge developments and debate key issues facing our society. With access to some of the world’s top scientists, engineers, technologists and social scientists, this will be an unparalleled opportunity to inspire a generation of learners of all ages.

    “Finally, we have also heard some exceptionally good news regarding the City Region’s application to the One Public Estate fund. While a formal announcement is yet to be made, I can say that the City Region will soon benefit from substantial Government investment allowing us to take a new approach to the use of public land for housing, employment stimulus and as an opportunity to transform public services.

    “This is a region which is growing; a region which means business and a region which will be a major driver of the South East economy. I am, and continue to be, proud to serve as the Chair of the Greater Brighton Economic Board during this exceptionally exciting time.”

    Who can Move a Shipping Container ?
    It’s a ‘No-Brainer’ – Call 0800 915 23 23


    Shipping container movements are something Sussex Transport do really well – we do lots of movements on a daily basis. We have the HIAB and flatbed capacity to move shipping containers / cabins at your request… including double stacking and adding the staircases where necessary.

    All of our drivers and operators are skilled, regularly trained and refreshed in necessary health and safety standards and required qualifications.

    Here are some little known facts about shipping containers!…
    1.            There are currently over 17 million shipping containers in circulation globally
    2.            The first metal shipping container was invented by Malcolm McLean in 1956
    3.            Approximately 97% of all shipping containers are manufactured in China. This is due to a lower labour rate in the country and that much of the world’s products are produced in China.
    4.            Approximately 675 shipping containers are lost at sea every single year!!
    5.            It is estimated that there were more than 530 million containers in the world in 2010.
    6.            If shipping containers are taken care of with regular maintenance, they can last for a total of 20 years.
    7.            95% of the world’s cargo moves by ship. Due to higher costs, it still makes more financial sense to transport goods in high volume ships.
    8.            A standard container can hold around 3,500 shoe boxes!

    And when a shipping container has finished being a shipping container – its can be transformed beyond your wildest imagination – check out this link to see some awesome make overs!

    Need a container moved? Call the team on 0800 915 23 23 or email info@sussextransport.com  We can easily cover the South East of England, London and further afield!

    A Fleet Requirement for a Flotilla Event in Southampton – Boat Show Delivery Booked in Advance.

    hiab crane port


    A HIAB crane lorry, 18t flatbed and an artic curtain side lorry have already been booked in advance for a client making deliveries to the Southampton boat show which is taking place this year 16th – 25th September 2016.

    Every September sees the annual ‘Southampton Boat Show’ which is the biggest water based boat show in Europe and is held in Mayflower Park.

    This year it’s bigger and better than ever!  Each day the Festival Stage will open up with a fashion show, followed by live music and at the weekends the show organisers will be asking visitors to come and prepare for a Guinness World Record attempt to create a picture of a boat using people! This is a unique opportunity to be part of history and be part of something special.

    The Festival Stage area is also the home to the Guinness Bar and the Food Village – it’s the place to relax in a deck chair, rock out or simply meet with friends for a chat and bite to eat. There is also a Sandpit in the Festival Stage Area-  buckets and spades will be provided as will beach Jenga and Connect 4!

    In 2007, the show boasted a chance for spectators to see HMS Bounty which was featured in the film Pirates of the Caribbean!

    Southampton Boat Show has the world’s largest purpose built marina with over 2km of pontoons, which display more than 350 boats over 10 days!

    This year one of the stars of the show will be the tall ship Artemis – Artemis is probably one of the most luxurious and elegant sailing vessels in Europe today, with a large well deck and raised aft deck, a forward deck saloon and an enormous saloon aft with its own

    bar that provides an excellent venue for all types of function. The decoration is to the very highest standards, with highly polished fine wood veneered panels, brasswork and deep velvet upholstery reflecting the traditional style of the world’s most lavish ocean liners.

    We regularly make deliveries to ports, boatyards, docks and marinas to assist with deliveries, collection’s and lifting requirements.

    For your next dedicated job we’d be only too pleased to offer you a quote. Call us today on 01903 751100 or drop an email to info@sussextransport.com

    Mud, TV Stars, Festivals, Cars and Airshows – We Take Pride in Every Job We Do.

    We collect, deliver and lift goods all over the UK.   This week has been another busy one here in our Capel and Lancing depot’s for our dedicated team of professional drivers, warehouse and office staff alike!

    The week kicked off with us providing an artic flatbed lorry for Pride – we were responsible for the cast of two very well known TV soap operas in the procession through the streets of London  - resulting in a very happy client who emailed, ‘’ I just want to make sure that you pass on our thanks to your driver. He was absolutely brilliant, and the weekend really wouldn’t have been such a success without him.  We were really impressed with how you guys dealt with the job from start to finish, and will definitely be aiming to send some more business in your direction!’’   Well done Peter!

    The start of the working week saw us back at Worthy Farm collecting the equipment we delivered the previous week for the five day music festival, Glastonbury in Somerset.  This one was a real challenge for James  our artic driver due to the amount of rainfall before (and during) the event.  Our lorry was filmed going into the site by someone who posted the footage on various social media sites. This was picked up by various newspapers – so a nice bit of free advertising in the Mail, Telegraph, Mirror etc !  watch that video of James driving through the mud HERE

    The lorry survived both journeys – albeit needing a good scrub down afterwards and James did a stirling job!

    The HIAB lifting team have also been busy – we delivered and lifted huge car dealership signs in Staffordshire, exhibition equipment was taken to Farnborough in readiness for the set up of the airshow in a few weeks and several more local jobs delivering to and from Hove Cricket Ground in Sussex.
    We’re pleased to welcome two new employees over the next few weeks as well – following our recruitment drive to expand the driving team. – to cope with the increased demand in our services!
    For your next requirement of lifting, delivering , collection or storage – give the team a call today on 01903 751100 – we’d love to help make your move a success!

    Fun Food Facts for Wimbledon as Sussex Transport Make Dedicated Festival and Event Deliveries

    With a fleet of HIABs, curtain side, flatbeds, Artic’s, 7.5t, 18t, Moffetts and 4×4’s, Sussex Transport can cover a wide variety of deliveries from a small package to an Artic load of materials.

    As the start of the festival and events season is now upon us, we have already been asked to transport equipment to and from the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, have done some work at the Isle of Wight Festival and have been on site at a very muddy Worthy Farm for the Glastonbury Festival assisting with the set up.

    This year the Wimbledon Tennis Championships will run from 27 June to 10 July – when it’s hoped the storms and rain clouds will have cleared!

    Strawberries, enthusiastic crowds, famous faces and of course wall to wall television coverage, all add to the atmosphere and tradition!

    As with any large event, it takes an enormous amount of co-ordination from a multitude of companies and organisers to ensure those two weeks in June run smoothly.

    Ball girls and boys start training for Wimbledon in February and from the 700 local children applying for the jobs – only 250 are selected!

    One strawberry at Wimbledon will set you back around 25p!

    So what needs to be brought in for the event?

    •     54,250 tennis balls
    •     330,000 cups of tea and coffee   
    •     230,000 bottles of water
    •     234,000 meals served
    •     320,000 glasses of Pimm’s
    •     110,000 sandwiches and baguettes
    •     25,000 scones
    •     110,000 pints of draught beer and lager
    •     16,000 portions of fish and chips
    •     44,000 litres of milk
    •     140,000 portions of English strawberries
    •     10,000 litres of dairy cream
    •     10,000 portions of frozen yoghurt
    •     29,000 bottles of champagne
    •     5,000 kilos of bananas (for players)
    •     86,000 ice cream portions
    •     30,000 stone baked pizzas

    That’s some shopping list for the organisers!

    This year we are delivering supplies to Wimbledon in one of our 18t vehicles.   Satellite tracking means the client can be informed of where their delivery is at every leg of the journey ensuring a professional job from start to finish.

    For more information on what we can do for you – why not call one of our dedicated team on 01903 751100 or drop us an e-mail at info@sussextransport.com

    We like to think that we offer a championship delivery service! so we’d LOVE to hear from you!
