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

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?

• 
  

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!

A27 Feasibility Study Publication

We welcome the publication, by the Government, of the A27 Corridor Feasibility Study.  It is important that everyone is able to access and understand the work that was completed last year.  We are currently considering the Study and its findings.

West Sussex County Council, as part of A27 Action, helped inform the Department for Transport’s work through participation in its Reference Group alongside other stakeholders.

A27 Action received submissions regarding the need to improve the A27 from businesses, residents and local parish councils.  Ministers were receptive to this engagement and the views expressed in a coherent way for the Department to take account of.

The Government took on board all of the views received.  We thank Ministers for taking the time to visit the County and for listening to the concerns and suggestions for improvements.

The Feasibility Study has identified improvement options.  The detail in the Feasibility Study sets out the Department for Transport’s conclusions in accordance with its standard transport appraisal techniques.

These options will now be subject to more detailed technical work to ensure they will achieve the Government’s objectives.

We recognise there is a lot of detail to consider but we are committed to involving residents, businesses, Borough and District Councils and the Local Enterprise Partnership.

The study sets out that further work is required on the detail of the most feasible options.  Once this has been completed, those options will be published for formal consultation.

We will ensure that the consultation will invite views in relation to sustainable transport measures to complement investment along the A27.

West Sussex County Council looks forward to working with all stakeholders, particularly Highways England, in investing in the strategic road network in the County.

We welcome the Government’s Study as part of the long-term economic plan to boost investment in the strategic road network.

The Government’s commitment helps to ensure that a strong and diverse economy can grow in West Sussex
 
The feasibility study published by the Government is set out in a series of technical reports is currently available here - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a27-corridor-feasibility-study-technical-reports
