A 'Real Value for Money' Winter Gritting and Snow Clearing Service
At Shorts Truegrit, we are always humbled when our customers take the time to thank us for our services. We work hard to provide a very reliable winter gritting and snow clearing service to our clients across the UK. You can imagine our pride when we received the following note from one of our customers.
Kuehne and Nagel's Facilities Manager for Wellingborough, Northants, Peter Holmes, wrote of his experience this past winter, describing how we resolved his frustration with poor quality suppliers:
"We are a very busy distribution centre for a well-known coffee brand on strict contractual delivery schedules - bad weather condition must not affect our delivery schedule. At the beginning of the season we took on a gritting service provider based on a cheap price and I very quickly realised that we had a problem when we were hit with bad weather. On a number of instances, they just didn't grit - and when the did they had inappropriate equipment to deal with the conditions.
In addition to the potential financial penalties form not getting the trucks out, we also had the welfare of our staff to consider. We could not have carried on like that. Fortunately, I discovered that one of our distribution sites near Newbury used Shorts Truegrit and so asked if they could take over the gritting work here. Within 24 hours, you had priced up the site, added it to your weather forecasting service, completed all the required paper work and were on site gritting. We would not have made it through last winter without your help!
Yes, you may be a bit more expensive than the other lot, but if ever there was a case of 'you get what you pay for', then this is it. Your equipment worked quickly and efficiently; you turned up exactly when you were needed; you didn't run out of salt and nothing was too much trouble for them. Shorts Truegrit is a very professional company, I would recommend you to anyone."
