Lucy talks Preston and plastic containers


I’ve made visits to Preston on a number of occasions since the acquisition 
of Alison Handling last year, a delightful trip on the M6 I’m sure many of you will agree! I’m always impressed by the enthusiasm in the office and variety of products available for purchase, the knowledge of the team is priceless but I suppose that’s what you get for being in the industry for 30 years.

People often ask what’s changed since the merger last year, what are Alison Handling now doing differently. What AHS do they do very well and it’s quite niche. They understand their focus, how many warehouses can you go to and select from a huge array of products, the exact piece of equipment to use, with no minimum order and next day delivery? Even if you’re not sure what you should be buying their experience helps selected the best product
for your application.


 You are instantly greeted by rows and rows of trays, crates, pallets, Dolavs, totes, you name it they stock it, and not just in a standard colour that you have to stick with. A lot of equipment is available in multiple colour choices. You may have noticed one addition to the range of equipment and that’s roll cages and metal.  The handling equipment compliments the packaging range already available and has been a popular sale and rental item at PPS for several years.


To speak to the Alison team call 01772 687 940.

A Sunny Thursday In The Peaks

When I was asked if I would like to join our bank, RBS/NatWest, on a Corporate Day I quickly said yes as the venue was Matlock Golf Club. Then I noticed I hadn't read the small print, I realised my day out of the office would be a Cycling Sportive which comprised doing 55 miles around the Peak District and a total elevation of 5,000 feet!


 Since buying a road bike earlier in the year and having only ridden a maximum of 35 miles at a time, to say I was nervous in the morning was an understatement. My main motivation for taking part was knowing that if I could complete this challenge, it would be good preparation for my bike tour of Belgium in July. With a nice sunny day, a group of 15 of us set out for our ride around the Peak District. The route consisted of 4 major hills which were the toughest I have faced to date however the views were spectacular which made the climbs worth it. At some point during the day a fellow rider pointed out that the elevation gain was more than Everest.



What turned out to out to be a well organised event ended 7 hours later with only 8 riders making it to the finish line. Apart from the hills my biggest challenge turned out to be avoiding getting sun burnt! Jeremy Tutt, Finance Director.
