We already have achieved progress in lots of areas of our operations to be a cleaner company and have started looking at further areas we can improve. Here are the some of the efforts we have already made:

• Our vehicles are the latest Euro6 spec so as environmentally friendly as possible.
• Vehicles are generally set to ‘Economy’ level in order to maximum fuel efficiency and we monitor these levels
• Reach trucks are modern electric powered trucks.
• We have introduced a computerised Traffic Management system and Warehouse Management system which has decreased our paper usage.
• Invoices & POD’s etc are almost 100% sent electronically.
• We have removed our electric immersion boiler hot water system and replaced with 3 x 10l under counter water heaters.
• We have replaced much of our lighting with low energy LED bulbs.
• We recycle our waste. The company we use guarantee that all waste is (hand) sorted at their depot for recycling including cardboard, tins, bottles paper etc.
• We recycle wood (pallets mainly).
• Our website is hosted in the UK in a state-of-the-art data centre using the latest in security technologies running on 100% renewable energy with a PUE of 1.12. PUE stands for power usage efficiency, and lower is better.

To start 2022 we made an investment in a new electronic forklift from SWIE – a Mitsubishi Edia EM range FB18 Electric Forklift.

We know the importance of moving from gas to electric and we were extremely impressed by its compact design yet spacious cab, the Edia EM is the most intelligent and the most agile electric forklift on the market.

The Edia EM range is packed with features, it delivers the manoeuvrability, power and reliability you would expect from a Mitsubishi Forklift.

The spacious yet enclosed cab will be really appreciated by the staff, particularly on those colder and wetter mornings!

We have been impressed with the professional and communicative service from SWIE. Are you thinking of going electric? If so get in touch to see how SWIE can help.

We have plenty more environmental initiatives to work on this year and we will update you as we achieve them!

As you may have seen on our news and social media we worked alongside Euro Commercials to add 3 Mercedes-Benz Lorries to the fleet.

All three were new Actros’s and one was a Limited Edition 1. The special edition wraps from Popin Vehicle Graphics really added some flare to the already amazing trucks.

Here are some pictures of the trucks……

To celebrate our 30 year Anniversary of trading as a limited company, we will be really emphasising and celebrating all the people that have got us to this point. Including our wonderful staff, past and present. Our customers, suppliers, followers, fellow hauliers and everyone else who has helped us in the logistics industry. We will also be doing a few throwbacks over the coming weeks to show everyone how far we’ve come and evolved.

In March we will also be revealing a special edition lorry with a celebratory wrap. The lorry is 1 of only 35 in the UK and 400 built. It is very exciting!

The lorry and wrap is going to be a celebratory nod to this huge milestone for Ferryman. We will be giving sneak peeks across our socials of the beauty very soon, so keep your eyes peeled for those…

We will also be announcing a great merchandise give away to those who spot and photograph the Anniversary Lorry on its journeys around the country.

Thanks for all your support and well wishes. Here is to another 30 years!

On St David’s Day weekend a team of Ferryman staff are completing the Dragon Drop Abseil for Tenovus Cancer Care! They will be admiring the fantastic views of the Brecon Beacons from the top, then feel the thrill of abseiling down the 80ft crag!

All while helping raise funds to support cancer patients and their loved ones. They are already smashing their fundraising efforts at over £1000, but every donation counts for the great cause. It’s a charity very close to our hearts at Ferryman and we plan to work with them even more in 2021.

Watch this space for updates!
