Inside<br />
Welcome to The <strong>Professional</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> Magazine<br />
Well there is certainly only one subject<br />
I can start with this <strong>issue</strong>. Since the<br />
Coronavirus took hold in what was only a<br />
short time ago it has now become the centre<br />
of all our lives.<br />
We are all trying to get through it the best<br />
way we can, both at home at work, but the<br />
overriding priority is safety. Sadly some of you<br />
will have already been affected directly by<br />
the virus and our thoughts and best wishes go<br />
out to you. Derek has put together a fantastic<br />
feature on the effect of the virus on your<br />
business and some positive steps you can all<br />
be taking in the coming weeks both in the<br />
vehicle and the office environment.<br />
We aim to produce our magazine as normal<br />
over the next few <strong>issue</strong>s but we’re conscious<br />
that some of you will be working from home,<br />
unable to receive your copy. Therefore from<br />
this <strong>issue</strong> the magazine will also be produced<br />
as a digital edition, the link sent out free to all<br />
emails on our database. This will carry on for<br />
as long as the emergency situation remains. If<br />
we don’t have your details and you would like<br />
the magazine link sent to you please email me<br />
on the address below.<br />
This <strong>issue</strong> you may have already noticed we<br />
have made a few changes.<br />
We’ve started with the packaging. This<br />
has been planned for some time now; going<br />
forward all <strong>issue</strong>s will be posted in the new<br />
paper cover. We’ve got rid of the old plastic<br />
<strong>Professional</strong><br />
is published by: Partnership Publishing Ltd,<br />
Bridge Road, Wellington, Telford TF1 1EA<br />
wrapping which as many of you found was<br />
unable to be recycled.<br />
The inside has also had a redesign with our<br />
production team working hard to freshen up<br />
the look of the magazine; we’ve also made<br />
changes to the paper.<br />
You will also see, in this and coming <strong>issue</strong>s,<br />
new features being introduced. I’d love to<br />
hear what you think of all the new changes<br />
we’ve made and any suggestions you may<br />
have.<br />
Finally, thank you to all the advertisers,<br />
contributors and readers for their continued<br />
support at this time; whether you’re out on<br />
the road or at home I hope you stay staff and<br />
healthy.<br />
Enjoy the magazine.<br />

Coronavirus Update<br />
As we are in an ever changing situation regarding the Covid-19<br />
outbreak, we would like to make a statement regarding<br />
our publications and events.<br />
Our overriding concern and priority is for the health and well-being for everyone involved in the<br />
recovery industry and their families. Our thoughts and sympathies go out to anyone that has<br />
been affected by the virus.<br />
<strong>Professional</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> Magazine<br />
Partnership Publishing is committed to providing industry news and business advice at this worrying time.<br />
Our print schedule will remain as long as our printer is permitted to keep working.<br />
For <strong>issue</strong>s <strong>322</strong>, 323 and 324 we will also be creating a digital version that will be distributed to all our<br />
email contacts. This is the first time we have produced an electronic copy of the magazine and we believe<br />
both advertisers and readers need every assistance at this time to make sure they receive the latest <strong>issue</strong>.<br />
We will send you a link to this via email when it is uploaded.<br />
<strong>Professional</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> Tow Show<br />
The show this year which is scheduled for 30 September – 1 October is still going ahead. With the show<br />
being the recovery industry’s main focus of attention for the year we feel we will hopefully have ample time<br />
after this current situation is resolved to organise this year’s event. We are having regular talks with the<br />
venue and will be giving regular updates via email, social media and the <strong>Professional</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> Magazine.<br />
<strong>Professional</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> Roadshows<br />
At present all three Roadshows are still going ahead. However as we stand two of the venues, Haynes and<br />
Brooklands, are now closed to the public. We will be monitoring the situation closely and will be making an<br />
announcement about our first Roadshow held on 19 May at Haynes Motor Museum at the end of April. We<br />
want to give all Roadshows the best possible chance of going ahead but are conscious that both exhibitors<br />
and visitors need time to plan.<br />
In line with the Government advice all of our staff are now working from home with provisions in place to<br />
work as normal.<br />
If you have any concerns or questions about any of our products or events then please call 01952 415334<br />
and we will be only too pleased to help with your enquiry.<br />
It’s an incredibly tough time for everyone out there and our thoughts are with all our advertisers,<br />
exhibitors, readers and visitors. Thank you for your continued support, we hope you all stay safe.<br />

Successful weekend<br />
for the IVR<br />
The 37th IVR AGM Weekend provided an exceptional agenda of<br />
training, meetings, and information giving, all rounded off with<br />
the ever-spectacular Gala Dinner. This year saw the introduction of<br />
an auction to raise money for two charities, Prostate Cancer UK and<br />
The British Heart Foundation which proved to be a great success.<br />
With the generosity of those who donated auction lots and all who<br />
bid so enthusiastically on the auction, a significant amount of money<br />
was raised. The IVR would like to extend a huge thank you to all the<br />
financial support given by the event sponsors.<br />
The highly coveted Jack Ovenden Award for outstanding student,<br />
sponsored by the AA, was awarded to Peter Hamill of Hamills<br />
<strong>Recovery</strong> Service and was presented by Rory Dewar from the AA.<br />
Congratulations must also go to the finalists Steve Austin of Hinton<br />
Rescue Bath/Bristol, Bradley Davis-Cole of Egerton’s <strong>Recovery</strong><br />
Ltd, and Johnathan Wainwright of Crouch <strong>Recovery</strong> who were<br />
introduced as excellent advocates for the industry<br />
The Bill Jackson Award made a return this year. The award<br />
celebrates industry excellence in the completion of an<br />
accomplished recovery job. This was jointly awarded to Hough<br />
Green Garage and CMG who had joined forces to complete a<br />
particularly tricky recovery of a crane tipping off a low loader. In<br />
presenting the award Nick Ovenden highlighted that it was good to<br />
see companies working together in this way showing good industry<br />
collaboration.<br />
After the AGM itself, Jim Cockerill, Warwickshire’s Forensic<br />
Vehicle Examiner/Forensic Collision Investigation Unit, gave a<br />
very informative presentation on the focussed efforts the Police<br />
in Warwickshire are involved in, in eradicating unsafe equipment<br />
and unsafe practices from vehicle recovery in their area. This was<br />
followed by a panel of experts questions and answers opportunity.<br />
Those on the panel answering questions were Wayne Carey of<br />
Highways England, Richard Goddard of <strong>Professional</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong><br />
Operators Federation, Ben Johnson representing Slow Down Move<br />
Over, Derek Firminger of ERRI and Mark Hartell from the Institute of<br />
Vehicle <strong>Recovery</strong>.<br />

Highways England<br />
traffic officer Alison<br />
just mead to inspire<br />
In her ‘day’ job, Alison Lycett is a Highways England traffic<br />
officer helping to keep thousands of drivers safe and our roads<br />
moving. But when she gets home, Alison is making history.<br />
Alison recently featured in the Channel 5 documentary series The<br />
Motorway where she was seen dealing with the pressure of lifethreatening<br />
situations in the Highways England control room. When<br />
she is not helping to save lives on the road she is making a name for<br />
herself as one of only a handful of licensed women mead-makers in<br />
the whole world.<br />
As soon as she finishes a shift at the East Midlands Regional Control<br />
Room in Nottingham, Alison heads off to the brewery she runs in the<br />
grounds of the historic Welbeck Estate at Worksop.<br />
Amongst the picturesque surroundings, nestled in the heart<br />
of Sherwood Forest, she runs Apothecary Mead with partner<br />
Chad Mierzwa using the traditional methods created<br />
thousands of year’s ago.<br />
Alison started brewing her own<br />
mead five years ago. She said: “I had been to reenactments<br />
and fairs and tried other mead and<br />
wasn’t impressed by some of what was on offer.<br />
I thought ‘I can do better than that’.”<br />
Alison went out and bought a book on how<br />
to make traditional mead - but admits her first<br />
batches were ‘disgusting’ before they perfected<br />
their recipes and produced a saleable<br />
product.<br />
English Heritage agreed to<br />
stock Apothecary Mead which<br />
can now be bought at<br />
Bolsover Castle and as far<br />
away as Glastonbury and<br />
Whitby. Online sales of the<br />
mead are international.<br />
Alison has helped<br />
found the British Meadmakers<br />
Association,<br />
a group of traditional<br />
mead-makers from across<br />
the country who want to<br />
protect its traditions.<br />
Mead has been<br />
showing quite a rival<br />
in recent years, with<br />
sales reported to have<br />
jumped 30 per cent last<br />
Alison describes herself as ‘lucky’ to be a traffic<br />
officer and able to run a mead-making business.<br />
year in Britain and shows such as Games<br />
of Thrones said to be behind the need<br />
for mead.<br />
Alison explains: “It is the oldest<br />
alcoholic drink known to man, it<br />
is 8,000 years old. We are using<br />
those same basic ingredients of<br />
honey, yeast and water. The same<br />
methods.”<br />
And the future? Well for<br />
the day job Alison is looking<br />
to step out of the control<br />
room and start going out<br />
on the road, on the frontline,<br />
patrolling the motorways<br />
and main A roads of the<br />
Highways England network<br />

The COVID-19<br />
Coronavirus Effect<br />
In this <strong>issue</strong> Derek<br />
Firminger with<br />
extracts from the IVR,<br />
LARO, PROF as well as<br />
leading finance brokers<br />
rounds-up the latest<br />
news regarding the<br />
current Coronavirus<br />
COVID-19.<br />
have really enjoyed writing the last few<br />
I editorials, with a feeling the industry was<br />
really going through a positive period. In my<br />
last editorial reporting on the great work the<br />
IVR has done over the past 37 years was great<br />
to write. As I carried out my research, I began<br />
to realise just how important the Institute was<br />
to the <strong>Recovery</strong> Industry and more so today<br />
than ever. Then reflecting back to edit 320 and<br />
the piece I wrote on the Industries strategic<br />
partnership agreement (SPA) with Highways<br />
England, that renewed relationship started<br />
with a meeting at last year’s Tow Show and<br />
ERRI / PROF meeting with HE, working closely<br />
with HE on the SPA, then bringing together<br />
the industries stakeholder partners with ERRI<br />
& PROF and the Trade Associations, LARO,<br />
AVRO, RRRA and FoVRA to sign the SPA I felt<br />
the industry was at a real high point with 2020<br />
becoming a memorable year, memorable ‘yes’<br />
but now for the wrong reasons.<br />
Standstill<br />
Then came the Coronavirus COVID – 19 and<br />
pretty much brought the country to a standstill.<br />
Initially I think everyone was looking at the TV<br />
and listening to the news not really knowing<br />
what to do, what the impact could or would be,<br />
know body saw the devastating impact that was<br />
just around the corner.<br />
The last big industry get together was the<br />
IVR AGM, if we knew then what we know now,<br />
for sure we would have been discussing and<br />
planning for the impact of Coronavirus while<br />
we were all in the same room, so to speak. No,<br />
we just made light of the way we greeted each<br />
other, to a point we were still shaking hands<br />
and laughing about the occasional fist punch or<br />
shoe tap instead of a handshake, oh if only we<br />
realized what was around the corner?<br />
Where am I going with this? well you will all be<br />
pleased to know that regular discussions around<br />
the Coronavirus were being had by PROF and<br />
it was soon realised there was a bigger need<br />
than ever to be a joined-up industry and to<br />
have many minds discussing how the industry<br />
needed to respond for its network and how it<br />
should approach this pandemic.<br />
Wellbeing<br />
The industry needed those key stakeholders<br />
to communicate as one, the work providers<br />
needed a joined-up approach to the questions<br />
asked on the first contact call from the<br />
customer. The independent operator needed<br />
the confidence the customer was being<br />
screened correctly as our roadside staff could<br />
easily come into contact with a COVID – 19<br />
infected person or a carrier of the virus. The<br />
situation changed overnight and progressed<br />

COVID-19 Rescue Protocol<br />
to a point where government<br />
has placed restrictions on social<br />
distancing for everyone’s wellbeing.<br />
Not easy for an industry<br />
recognized as an ‘Essential Service’<br />
employing ‘Key Workers’. An<br />
industry that has to recover the<br />
vehicle and its passenger, it can’t<br />
just leave the passengers at the side<br />
of the road. Clearly it was time to<br />
involvement of the IVR to ensure a<br />
recovery guide was produced that<br />
complied with the social distancing<br />
rule and also followed our industry’s<br />
best practice guidelines.<br />
<strong>Recovery</strong> request for suspected<br />
COVID 19<br />
Contact<br />
customer on<br />
route and<br />
confirm<br />
At scene perform<br />
a DRA based on<br />
the recovery<br />
Customer to abide by social<br />
distancing rules, and if safe to<br />
do so remain in their vehicle.<br />
HE or police may need to be at<br />
the scene<br />
Operational challenges<br />
Following a series of conference<br />
calls arranged by Richard Goddard<br />
chairman of PROF, with the calls<br />
hosted by Ben Johnson of Call<br />
Assist. On these conference calls<br />
there was representatives from<br />
PROF’s members, IVR, LARO, LV<br />
Britannia, Call Assist, Alliance Global<br />
Assistance, Tendo Consulting and a<br />
guest invitation to Green Flag. This<br />
PROF members group ensured the<br />
network was joined-up with its key<br />
stakeholder members discussing<br />
operational challenges the COVID<br />
– 19 pandemic had caused the<br />
industry and jointly gathering<br />
information and distributed it<br />
amongst their network members.<br />
Social distance rules<br />
The one thing that was key for<br />
your recovery technicians at the<br />
roadside was how do we keep<br />
to that social distance rule when<br />
we are expected to recover all<br />
passengers as well as the car? The<br />
simplest way was to follow the<br />
best practice guide and leave the<br />
passengers in their car, easily said,<br />
yes, but it is a best practice only<br />
ever used for that rare disabled<br />
passenger situation and not an<br />
everyday occurrence.<br />
Social distance rules<br />
Following lengthy discussions<br />
within the PROF conference calls<br />
the IVR produced the first draft<br />
of the IVR COVID – 19 Rescue<br />
Protocol, with version 2 now in<br />
circulation having been distributed<br />
directly by PROF’s members to<br />
the independent network. It is<br />
extremely important to consider<br />
your own companies’ insurers when<br />
adopting this temporary emergency<br />
COVID – 19 protocol and to discuss<br />
this with them as they may consider<br />
this an additional risk.<br />
With this document came some<br />
additional general guidance for all<br />
operators.<br />
Give the casualty driver this card and ask them<br />
to read the instructions on the reverse<br />
Important: You must check the driver’s understanding of<br />
this card and reiterate the key points<br />
The casualty vehicle now must be winched<br />
onto the Transporter a secondary restraint<br />
now must be used at all times<br />
The casualty vehicle must be secured correctly<br />
to your bed<br />
Remember the casualty driver may be nervous, drive accordingly, and allow plenty of braking distance<br />
Consider any passengers do your dynamic risk assessment and consider all potential hazards and risks<br />
POL010 COVID-19 Rescue Protocol Version 01 March 2020<br />
Guidelines for casualty driver being recovered<br />
and remaining in their vehicle<br />
Please read carefully. If you do not understand any points and have further questions, please ask the<br />
technician before the recovery commences.<br />

i.e. epilepsy, or any condition that may affect you.<br />
This guidance refers to the driver and all passengers of the broken down vehicle<br />
1. Please wear your seatbelt.<br />

5. Turn off hazard lights and leave them off<br />
6. When being winched onto the transporter assist the technician with steering<br />
7. The recovery vehicle may be using its flashing beacons so, if necessary pull down your sun visor so<br />
that you will not be dazzled<br />
8. The technician will now ask that your keys are removed from the ignition or that they are made safe<br />
9. Keep your doors unlocked at all times<br />
10. Once loaded do not touch any of the vehicles hand or foot controls at all<br />
Whilst being recovered, remain seated with your seat belt on, cross your arms and do not<br />
touch any of the controls at all, your ignition, stereo and heater need to be off at all times.<br />
If you feel worried or concerned at any time contact the recovery driver by one of the<br />
means below.<br />
If the recovery driver has a hands free set in his cab then it is advisable that you stay in<br />
contact via the phone whilst the recovery takes place.<br />
To attract attention: Sound your HORN or flash your LIGHTS<br />

scheme called Furlough, designed to pay your staff paid 80% of<br />
their salary rather than you have to lay them off through a forced<br />
redundancy situation, so what is Furlough and how does it work?<br />
The term ‘Furlough’ is more commonly used with the military,<br />
or a prison, ‘to grant a leave of absence or furlough’ a soldier<br />
being furloughed or a furloughed prisoner. Or as the government<br />
have used this term, to put a worker on furlough, to lay off a<br />
worker for a brief or temporary period, in this case 3 month<br />
from the 1st March, however this period may be extended.<br />
The government announcement as follows, that under the<br />
‘Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme’, all employers in the UK will<br />
be able to access support to continue paying part of employees’<br />
salaries who would otherwise have been laid off during the<br />
ongoing crisis. As I’ve already described ‘Furloughed’ workers are<br />
employees whose employers cannot cover staff costs due to in<br />
this case the coronavirus, and as such they have been asked to<br />
stop working but have not been made redundant.<br />
You as employers are now able to access support to continue<br />

paying part of their staff’s wages, this is to avoid redundancies<br />
and so you can retain you staff. For a whole raft of reasons, but in<br />
particular to avoid any fraudulent claims, there are expected to<br />
be cross-checks between the applications for the Furlough grants<br />
against the PAYE records for each employer. Employers wishing<br />
to Furlough their staff will be required to make one claim for the<br />
entire workforce and to keep a detailed record how many workers<br />
are covered. There is a whole set of rules that must be adhered<br />
to, hear are a few, but please research this fully by checking the<br />
government website, details below.<br />
● The employer can claim a grant of 80% of workers’ wages up to<br />
£2,500 a month once they have been furloughed.<br />
● The employees remain on the payroll deducting tax and national insurance<br />
under the pay as you earn (PAYE) system.<br />
● If employers want to top up pay levels, they can, but will not be able to claim for<br />
more than 80 per cent of £3,125.<br />
● The employer could choose to fund the differences between this payment and employee’s salary<br />
but does not have to.<br />
● The furloughed workers should not undertake work for their employer while they are furloughed.<br />
● The scheme is available to all employees, no matter how big or small.<br />
● The employer needs to get agreement from the worker to do this, unless it’s covered by a ‘lay<br />
off’ clause in the employment contract.<br />
I’ve mentioned payment holiday requests from your, then following may help.<br />
Statement from Creative Funding Solutions<br />
Our thoughts remain with all of our customers at this<br />
challenging time, especially those in the roadside recovery<br />
industry whom we have come to know and love dearly over<br />
the past few years. To that end, we are open for business as<br />
usual and would like to play our part in helping you or your<br />
business carry on as normally as possible.<br />
Obviously, everyone has to prioritise the health and safety<br />
of others around them, so we have made some changes to<br />
our working practices in order to fulfil that duty of care.<br />
We would like to offer you all some practical advice on<br />
how to deal with your finances during this difficult period.<br />
If you have loans running currently you may need to request<br />
a payment holiday until some sort of normality resumes. If<br />
we have arranged funding for you then contact us directly for<br />
assistance via your account manager and they can guide you<br />
as to how to request a payment holiday, which for the most<br />
part has to be done directly with the funders. Some funders<br />
were quick to offer blanket repayment holidays of 90 days for<br />
those who make a request, other funders requested a myriad of<br />
supporting information in order to get an arrangement over the<br />
line. The latter do seem to have softened a little in the past few<br />
days and again we are happy to support anyone in the industry<br />
who is struggling to get the support they need, and no doubt<br />
deserve. Anyone can contact us for help at covid19@creativefs.<br />
co.uk<br />
The government has launched several initiatives, CBILS being<br />
one that we are hoping can really help businesses access the<br />
funding they need:<br />
The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) is<br />
now available:<br />
What does the CBILS specifically provide<br />
Up to £5m facility: A facility offered under the scheme will have a maximum value of £5m, available on terms of repayment up to<br />
6 years.<br />
80% Guarantee: The scheme offers a government-backed partial guarantee to the lender against the remaining balance of<br />
the loan.<br />
No guarantee fee for SMEs to access the scheme: No fee for smaller businesses. Lenders will pay a fee to access the scheme.<br />
Interest and fees charged by the Government for a period of 12 months: the Government must make a Business Interruption<br />
Provision to cover the first 12 months of interest rates and any lender-paying fees, meaning that smaller companies can benefit<br />
from no upfront expenses and lower initial repayments.<br />
Finance terms: Finance terms for term loans and asset financing facilities amount to up to six years. The terms will be up to<br />
three years for overdrafts and invoice financing facilities.<br />
Security: The scheme can, at the discretion of the lender, be used for unsecured loans for facilities of £250,000 or less. For<br />
facilities over £250,000, the lender must create a shortage or lack of protection before businesses use CBILS. If the lender can<br />
offer finance on normal commercial terms, they will do so without the need to make use of the scheme.<br />

Derek Firminger<br />
FIVR, MSOE MIRTE.<br />
As always, we will work with every<br />
customer individually according to<br />
their own specific circumstances and<br />
challenges - we’re open for business<br />
and here to help.<br />
Shawbrook have clarified that they<br />
are prepared to look at payment<br />
holidays or interest-only periods<br />
for existing customers impacted by<br />
Coronavirus, subject to individual<br />
circumstances. They would require<br />
financial information which may<br />
include your latest filed accounts, bank<br />
statements and details of your current<br />
and projected income and a breakdown<br />
of your fixed outcome/overheads. An<br />
important thing to remember is to<br />
always engage your finance provider at<br />
the earliest opportunity, don’t cancel<br />
your Direct Debits and liaise with your<br />
Accountant.<br />
An update from<br />
PROF<br />
Dear VRO,<br />
PROF would like to thank all work<br />
providers for participating in this<br />
morning’s second emergency PROF<br />
COVID-19 conference call, the<br />
Federation hopes everyone involved<br />
found it useful to have a joined up,<br />
carefully measured approach, to ensure<br />
that best practice goes across the board<br />
during this critical stage of the COVID-19<br />
outbreak.<br />
As promised the <strong>Recovery</strong> Industry<br />
protocol and the PROF Driver and<br />
Essential Staff Guidance document are<br />
enclosed and are now to be considered<br />
the industry standard during this phase<br />
of the COVID-19 outbreak. I’d like to<br />
express special thanks to the IVR for its<br />
vital technical input to the temporary<br />
standards.<br />
It should be noted that this is a<br />
TEMPORARY MEASURE to enable our<br />
drivers to move customers to a safe<br />
place during the outbreak. Dynamic<br />
risk assessments are always the best<br />
tool in our toolkit and we encourage all<br />
drivers to continue to be vigilant and<br />
assess the risks for their own safety and<br />
that of their customers and to heed<br />
Government advice.<br />
Also to be noted, PROF has involved<br />
the insurance industry and some if the<br />
industries underwriters, it is essential<br />
you take all the necessary actions to<br />
ensure your own insurer knows you are<br />
operating to this temporary guidance<br />
measure.<br />
Finally, please ensure you supply your<br />
roadside staff with a laminated copy of<br />
the attached document (POLO10) COVID<br />
19 Rescue Protocol, remembering to<br />
always keep regularly sanitized.<br />
The virus picture is fast moving and<br />
to that end there will be a further PROF<br />
COVID-19 meeting next Monday 30th<br />
and further updates may come out to<br />
the industry then.<br />
Regards<br />
Richard Goddard<br />

Proposal for the maintenance<br />
of <strong>Recovery</strong> and Rescue<br />
Operations within the M25<br />
The Background<br />
Due to the extreme circumstances we<br />
jointly find ourselves in as the Coronavirus<br />
pandemic evolves, LARO is looking<br />
for solutions to best aid the business<br />
sustainability of its membership while<br />
providing an around the clock service<br />
to motoring organisation/club work<br />
providers.<br />
At present each recovery operator is<br />
individually manning a 24-hour control<br />
room with driver availability in return<br />
for no guarantee of payment and<br />
dramatically reduced volumes of work.<br />
The Proposal<br />
In order for the maximum number of<br />
independent recovery companies to<br />
survive the unforeseen financial hardship,<br />
LARO proposes that between the hours<br />
of 22.00 and 06.00 and to ease pressure<br />
on individual businesses, to work to a<br />
shared operator rota system to cover<br />
breakdown recovery operations within<br />
the M25. We propose to split the London<br />
area into zones with each zone covered<br />
on a rotational basis by operators<br />
within these zones. We propose, as a<br />
temporary measure, that the nearest on<br />
call operator within that zone will cover<br />
the work for all clubs, regardless if they<br />
are currently appointed by that work<br />
provider or not. This would be chargeable<br />
at the same rates that the operator who<br />
normally would be covering the job would<br />
charge with the only difference being a<br />
base to base mileage and no free miles.<br />
The LARO membership includes the<br />
key Vehicle <strong>Recovery</strong> Operators within<br />
the M25 and this solution is open to<br />
LARO members only. Subject to vetting,<br />
non-members have the opportunity to<br />
become a provisional member, prior to<br />
approval and inclusion within this initiative<br />
which can, if necessary, be fast-tracked.<br />
The Solution<br />
The work provider would in the normal<br />
way send the job to the VRO that they<br />
would normally allocate. If the VRO<br />
is not a LARO member and operating<br />
independently and outside of this<br />
initiative, they would either accept or<br />
refuse the job in the normal way. If refused, the work provider would then send the job<br />
to the next VRO, who if a LARO member but working 24 hours would again either accept<br />
or refuse the job.<br />
If a LARO VRO is not on rota, he/she would change their Night Control Option to ‘ANS<br />
divert’ and the job would automatically be forwarded to the LARO appointed Control<br />
Room ANS node that he/she inputs as the non-rota VRO closes at 22.00 hours. The nonrota<br />
VRO is left with an audit trail and can see any jobs that they have missed while not<br />
being open.<br />
The LARO Control Room would then send the job to the nearest on shift VRO with<br />
a message saying who the work provider is and the job number. Any job messaging or<br />
3 14 PROFESSIONAL RECOVERY MAGAZINE<br />
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 DF.indd 6 01/04/2020 14:13
equests for further charges would be via the LARO Control<br />
Room in order to keep a transparent audit trail.<br />
The Cost<br />
The dealing VRO would invoice the job directly to the work<br />
provider. Additionally, the LARO Control Room would raise a<br />
handling charge invoice for of £30 +VAT per job irrespective<br />
of the amount of telephone calls or job messaging required<br />
that the work provider would pay.<br />
The Quality Control<br />
For accountability and quality assurance, all LARO members<br />
are ISO 9001 and PAS 43 accredited as a requirement of<br />
LARO membership.<br />
The Summary<br />
LARO very much hopes that this initiative is supported by<br />
the motoring organisation work providers which will provide<br />
a service to the customer in addition to saving jobs and help<br />
recovery operators’ financially. We have summarised the<br />
benefits below:<br />
l Simple, single point solution to the current lack of night<br />
work volume<br />
l Work providers still able to supply a quality service<br />
l Work providers continue to send work to their contracted<br />
operator, the LARO control arrangements only apply if the<br />
operator sets Apex Night Control Node to LARO<br />
l Independent network reduces overhead and operating<br />
costs<br />
l Apex system retains full audit trail<br />
l Quality assurance through ISO & PAS43 compliant LARO<br />
membership<br />
l Work providers seen to be helping the network with an<br />
inclusive working arrangement<br />
l No immediate changes required to current operating<br />
systems<br />
l Low-cost solution for the work provider<br />
The Conclusion<br />
This scheme can go live within 3 working days of motoring<br />
organisation approval and in order to ensure continued<br />
recovery and rescue operations within the M25, would<br />
encourage that this is considered as soon as possible.<br />

FIVEMINUTESWITH<br />
Bruce Compton<br />
In our new feature we are thrilled to have five minutes<br />
with Bruce Compton. The claret drinking managing<br />
director of Auto Fuel Fix talks to us about Coronation<br />
Street, Benny Hill and powerboats – just don’t mention<br />
toilet rolls . . .<br />
Morning Bruce, thanks for taking time to talk to us today, all<br />
good at Auto Fuel Fix?<br />
Very busy thanks Paul. Obviously we’re highly aware of the virus<br />
and how that’s affecting our guys on the road and customers, we’ve<br />
just moved premises and looking at electric vehicle charging.<br />
A busy time for AFF – let’s start with an easy one, what was your<br />
first car?<br />
A Peugeot 305 SR. I remember the first thing I did was drive on<br />
the A3 at midnight at 95mph, I think I can admit to that that now. I<br />
don’t think there is any more remaining, they’ve all rotted away!<br />
I was more of a BMX man myself. You’ve got a rare afternoon to<br />
yourself – what do you do?<br />
Probably find a really nice restaurant that serves all afternoon<br />
and order oysters, steak tartare and a bottle of Bordeaux Claret.<br />
Very nice – and when you get home what will you be watching<br />
on TV.<br />
Well it won’t be my choice; my other half will have Coronation<br />
Street on. I’ve had to watch it for several years so I’m kind of familiar<br />
with the characters - I never thought that would happen in my<br />
lifetime.<br />
But if you get hold of the control what do you switch over to?<br />
Babestation.<br />
Enough said. I think I’ll stick with Ena Sharples. It’s my round –<br />
what are you drinking?<br />
If you’re paying I’ll go for champagne please Paul.<br />
On my expenses you must be joking, what about your round?<br />
Brown ales all round.<br />
That’s more like it. What about the young Bruce – was it Swap<br />
Shop or Tiswas?<br />
Swap Shop for me – It was a bit more commercial so it appealed<br />
to the young entrepreneur in me.<br />
You can’t beat a bit of Noel Edmunds<br />
– who would have been on your bedroom<br />
wall?<br />
Well there were a couple of bikini clad girls on the back of the<br />
boat which may have given it a duel appeal for me.<br />
When we’re eventually able to get on a plane again will it be the<br />
beach or pool?<br />
Poolside somewhere in the South France.<br />
No one likes sand in their shoes. Bruce Compton – The Movie.<br />
Who plays the lead role?<br />
Benny Hill.<br />
Nice choice. You win the lottery this weekend, what’s the first<br />
thing you buy?<br />
It would have to be something really predictable like a Ferrari<br />
250 short wheel base, something old and a bit special.<br />
Not a classic Peugeot 305 then?<br />
I may get one of those as well as a memento of the past.<br />
Why not – treat yourself. Tell us one secret about yourself?<br />
I’ve got all my own hair.<br />
You’re fairly unique in this industry with that claim Bruce.<br />
Handshake Poker – who are you playing?<br />
In my old car days I had a few interactions with a few well known<br />
people but I’ll go with Rod Stewart.<br />
He wasn’t wearing the leopard skin tights at the time was he?<br />
No I was.<br />
Now that is an image. Frank Skinner has called; you’re on Room<br />
101 this week, what goes in?<br />
Bog roll bandits I think their known as now.<br />
Very topical, I can’t argue with that. Finally, what advice would<br />
you give the young Bruce Compton?<br />
Buy a few flats.<br />
Wise words<br />
Bruce, thank<br />
you for your<br />
time today.<br />
I had a picture of a Sunseeker<br />
powerboat.<br />
That’s a surprise; I was expecting<br />
someone perhaps like Suzi Quatro?<br />

OPINION<br />
Fred Henderson<br />
Calling out mobile phone<br />
users isn’t fruitless...<br />
Firstly I make no apology for revisiting this <strong>issue</strong> of mobile<br />
phones being used while driving, after stiffer penalties I still<br />
see phones being used at the wheel at almost every set of traffic<br />
lights or roundabout. Let’s look at the true facts.<br />
There is no doubt that health and safety combined with nanny<br />
state thinking are in many cases just making our lives a joke. The<br />
problem seems to be that people cannot always make a clear<br />
judgement, so everything has to be black or white and, to be on<br />
the safe side, let’s make it all black.<br />
We have all heard about the kids supposedly stopped from<br />
playing conkers and most people can come up with a similar<br />
story of something just as simple and equally as stupid.<br />
So it should come as no surprise when I read about a young<br />
lady parked at a set of traffic lights and eating a banana, who<br />
then found herself with three points and a £60 fine. You have to<br />
ask, where it has all gone wrong; especially as I would not have<br />
been at all surprised if, while the police officer was booking<br />
this young lady for not having any proper control of her vehicle,<br />
there would be people driving passed using their mobile phones.<br />
Probably trying to adjust the radio station or sat-nav and possibly<br />
trying to put a quote on social media from a hand held phone.<br />
Since people have started going around killing other people<br />
while using a mobile phone, it now appears that anybody who<br />
is not firmly grasping the steering wheel with two hands is<br />
committing an offence, or at least that is how it seems. On a<br />
danger scale of one to ten, where does a banana fit in? I would<br />
think about 0 of 10.<br />
Let’s remember that since people have been driving, lorry<br />
drivers in particular have always enjoyed a bacon sandwich<br />
on the move, despite for most of that time not having power<br />
steering, a synchromesh gearbox and not even good quality<br />
brakes. We all know that the only danger this presented was to<br />
themselves in the sense that they became fat and overweight<br />
with eating unhealthy food and then finished up with diabetes.<br />
But cause an accident by eating? I have never even heard of it.<br />
But, fast forward to the mobile phone and here we have a<br />
different animal. Not just a mobile phone but a sat-nav set on<br />
the move and there is texting and communicating on social<br />
media. And let us not forget we have all been guilty at one point<br />
or another of using a mobile phone on the move, but I hope, like<br />
myself, people have now realised how dangerous and antisocial<br />
it is and have discontinued the practice. Whether you drive with<br />
one hand or two, is not the <strong>issue</strong> and never has been.<br />
As a former rally driver when cars were simple, I have covered<br />
many miles of special stages at a good speed and because of<br />
the need to change gear every few yards, use a handbrake from<br />
time to time and then have to worry about a few other things.<br />
Sometimes 40% of the route would be covered with just one<br />
hand on the wheel: then perhaps I would take my hand off the<br />
gear lever and on to a Mars Bar after the stage was complete.<br />
But the big difference is that at no time did I have any mental<br />
distractions.<br />
The big difference between using a mobile phone and eating<br />
a banana, the banana would not bring on a heated argument; a<br />
banana cannot tell you that if you don’t get your backside home,<br />
your dinner will be in the dog, or some other life crisis that<br />
makes it impossible to concentrate and drive safely.<br />
I believe that texting and social media are even more<br />
dangerous because they take up so much mental energy and<br />
leave none for driving. There are even a few other pastimes that<br />
are not good for driving and concentrating: firing up a cigarette<br />
cannot be that safe. I was also unfortunate enough to have a<br />
good friend of the family whose child in a rear baby seat for<br />
some reason became unsettled and the Mum turned round out<br />
of motherly love to see what was wrong, veered across the road<br />
and caused a double fatal accident.<br />
Now that is a difficult one to deal with, but it reinforces how<br />
people are distracted and are not in control of their vehicle<br />
when they are in contact with another human by person, by<br />
phone or by text, which also brings into question hands-free<br />
systems. If their only crime is to be in contact with a banana,<br />
they are hardly going to finish up in a road accident because they<br />
are still in complete control of their car.<br />
There seems to be something about these police officers<br />
that are trying to make a statement with a case like the banana;<br />
maybe they are not getting out enough. I have also heard of<br />
someone who had been fined for eating an apple. By God!<br />
These fruits are hazardous! But I have never heard of anyone<br />
being fined for lighting a cigarette, setting a sat nav, or one or<br />
two other things that are a bit marginal. Whatever happened<br />
to the police officer who would <strong>issue</strong> a firm dressing down<br />
for such a minor offence thereby going a long way to avoiding<br />
repeat offending? I suppose being given a good bollocking at the<br />
roadside is now a breach of the driver’s human rights and it’s the<br />
police officer that would get censured.<br />
I have to point out that I am not suggesting everybody should<br />
push on and have lunch on the move, but we need to realise if<br />
the difference between safe and dangerous driving is one hand<br />
on a banana or apple - or even a firm pear - then that driver<br />
should not be on the road in the first place.<br />
Now, let’s go to the other end of the scale and prove we are<br />
not ‘jobsworths’. But better still; let’s have a campaign to stop<br />
people using mobile phones in vehicles. I would love to get<br />
something going where people blow their horns continually<br />
when they see somebody using a phone. So easy to do and so<br />
effective, can you imagine the racket in a town centre and the<br />
embarrassment of people on their phones: and maybe then we<br />
will start to save lives, without affecting fruit sales.<br />
We have our move over campaign, so how about trying to get<br />
on the case of these thousands of idiots who still have no regard<br />
for the way they continue to use their phone on the move.<br />
People just don’t like to be caught out.<br />
SEE IT – SOUND IT!<br />

A welcome return<br />
for Winch Systems<br />
An update from the Tow Show HQ<br />
with Nick Phipps<br />
Firstly, a really big thank you to all the<br />
exhibitors who during such challenging<br />
times in recent weeks have taken the time<br />
out to contact us with best wishes for our<br />
staff and support for the show.<br />
This year’s Tow Show is going ahead as<br />
planned at the end of September, and we will keep in close<br />
contact with all of our sponsors, exhibitors and visitors with regular<br />
updates as required.<br />
The timescale for the 2020 regional roadshows scheduled for May<br />
and June is obviously somewhat different, and again we will advise<br />
ASAP with further information accordingly.<br />
Remaining safe and healthy are key watch words during this very<br />
difficult time, and the wellbeing and safety of our exhibitors, visitors<br />
and suppliers at any of our events is of absolute priority to us.<br />
We are in regular dialogue with our venues, Public Health England,<br />
and our health and safety consultant to ensure we maintain the very<br />
highest standards for everyone involved in our activities.<br />
It’s also great news being able to welcome a returning and a brand<br />

new exhibitor to this year’s show.<br />
We welcome Winch Systems back to the Tow Show<br />
Winch Systems will be making their way down from Hull to be back<br />
with us in Telford, and Show Director Nick Phipps commented, “It’s<br />
fantastic news we are able to welcome Neil and his team back to the<br />
show. Winch Systems exhibited with us at the Tow Show before and<br />
it’s always such a pleasure being able to welcome back a previous<br />
exhibitor, and we wish them every success at the 2020 show.”<br />
Neil Giblin on behalf of Winch Systems added: “The Tow Show<br />
invites people from a specialized industry to come together in<br />
one place. It’s an excellent opportunity for us to rekindle lost<br />
relationships and hopefully generate new ones. It also allows us to<br />
exhibit our range of Comeup electric and hydraulic vehicle recovery<br />
winches and offer technical support if required, I’m looking forward<br />
to this year’s show and seeing what’s new in the industry.”<br />
We also welcome LRT <strong>Recovery</strong> to their first Tow Show<br />
LRT is a commercial body builder who produces recovery vehicles<br />
from a beavertail, tilt-slide bed, twin deck, Hiab fitting and full body<br />
repair facility.<br />
On behalf of the show Nick Phipps said: “It has been a pleasure<br />
dealing with Lee Turner from LRT over the last few months in order<br />
to work out his specific requirements for the show. It’s very satisfying<br />
for us as a trade show being able to offer a platform for new<br />

Champion<br />
delivery for LJ’s<br />
from Boniface<br />
“The third of many new vehicles to come is this<br />
3.5T Champion slide bed mounted on an Iveco<br />
Daily 70c and finished in LJ’s stand out livery”<br />
When Mick Jennings got in touch with Boniface to enquire<br />
about more new vehicles to help him continue to carry<br />
out his fleet regeneration programme, they were again only too<br />
happy to help.<br />
The third of many new vehicles to come is this 3.5T<br />
Champion slide bed mounted on an Iveco Daily 70c and<br />
finished in LJ’s stand out livery.<br />
The Champion Slidebed is a well-established product<br />
recognised and used by professional operators all over the<br />
UK and throughout Europe. Strong, reliable and extremely<br />
dependable the Champion has been tried and tested over the<br />
years which is why customers like LJ’s choose the product over<br />
others in the marketplace.<br />
With the shovel tail design incorporated into the side raves<br />
the Champion bed provides a good loading angle and makes<br />
loading cars with low skirts or spoilers easier.<br />
The galvanised sub frame and tilt frame provide prolonged<br />
life expectancy of the equipment and the knife edge bed<br />
rollers help to protect the bed and the road surface when<br />
loading and unloading vehicles.<br />
As with all Boniface slide bed products, there are numerous<br />
options available to customise the equipment to your exact<br />
requirements. This particular LJ vehicle has a hooped flyer<br />
with 6 LED marker lights, a 1.6m LED Beacon with stop, tail and<br />
turn repeaters mounted onto it, 2 pairs of LED work lights, 3 x<br />
illuminated plastic stowage lockers combined with aluminium<br />
side under run, Boniface wrecker kit, 3.6T hydraulic winch with<br />
sliding adjustment, 1.2T second car lift with fold over wheel<br />
grids and strobes mounted in the front grill.<br />
All bed and winch functions are operated either by a 6<br />
function radio remote control or illuminated manual control<br />
levers mounted on the nearside rear of the vehicle.<br />
Boniface would like to thank Mick for his returning business<br />
and look forward to delivering more new vehicles over the<br />
coming months, watch this space.<br />

which turns out to be<br />
fully submerged in a<br />
canal or a one that<br />
suffered from break<br />

All these and more<br />
are jobs that are not<br />

can be called upon for<br />
water based vehicle<br />
recoveries.<br />
By Martin Scholes<br />
Burke Brothers <strong>Recovery</strong> is a West Midlands<br />
based vehicle recovery company that has<br />
considerable expertise in specialist water<br />
based recovery. Not only do they have the<br />
skills they also have the dedicated specialist<br />
equipment and, equally important, the<br />
dedicated specialist staff who are qualified and<br />
trained in its use.<br />
They have made a name for themselves not<br />
only throughout the West Midlands but also<br />
throughout the rest of the UK due to their<br />
particular skills, knowledge and dedication.<br />
Sam Burke says: “We have been very busy on<br />
water rescues, especially during Storm Dennis.<br />
We were assisting 100+ incidents a day across<br />
the UK.<br />
“Our team is the leader in the industry with<br />
specialist equipment to deal with any vehicle in<br />
water. We were responding to vehicles not only<br />
locally but also right across the UK.”<br />

However, Burke Brothers <strong>Recovery</strong> doesn’t just specialise in<br />
water recoveries, they also offer the following range of services,<br />
too: motorbikes, cars, vans, HGV’s, bus recovery and general<br />
breakdown assistance.<br />
Millforge Garage of Pembroke Dock is a company that has some<br />
experience with such recoveries. Joan Thomas told <strong>Professional</strong><br />
<strong>Recovery</strong> magazine: “We have undertaken several water<br />
recoveries. Some have involved cars that ended up in a river for<br />
one reason or another. A recent job we had that involved a river<br />
recovery was only accessible via field but a kind farmer allowed<br />
us access to the river bank.<br />
“Another recovery was for a car that had ended up going over<br />
a cliff edge into a bay that was totally inaccessible, so we had to<br />
use a top boom to recover it, hauling the car all the way up the<br />
cliff.”<br />

A MESSAGE FROM THE RRRA<br />
A time for survival<br />
AS the whole world braces for the perceived uncertainty we<br />
are facing with coronavirus spreading globally and taking<br />
lives daily, it is clear that we as a country must adjust and be<br />
prepared to help each other, there have been many global<br />
threats across the years that have come and gone, we don’t<br />
know as of yet how bad this will get the government are clearly<br />
doing everything they can.<br />
Key workers<br />
the recovery industry is maintaining support by ensuring<br />
that as part of the transport industry we are keeping the road<br />
network clear of obstructions. One thing is certain the recovery<br />
industry is a key service to the transport industry and the great<br />
British motoring public, but we are going to be faced with very<br />
difficult times just like most other businesses.<br />
The government guidelines are clear;<br />
KEEP GOOD HYGIENE<br />
KEEP TWO METRES APART<br />
REDUCE TRAVEL<br />
MINIMISE YOURSELF TO EXPOSURE<br />
Training<br />
Training may be cancelled due to personal proximity and<br />
financial <strong>issue</strong>s, but operators should understand that company<br />
training is a must, now more than ever. By that we mean, toolbox<br />
talks and briefings. It is now more vital than ever that those<br />
attending vehicles follow process, this will help protect them,<br />
the customer and the public, but also it will help protect their<br />
families when they get home.<br />
Operators need to assess their operation for risk, document<br />
it, and inform staff, not just once but at the start of each task,<br />
yes, they will get fed up with it, but at least they will not be in any<br />
doubt about their responsibilities and process. Knowing how to<br />
best deal with the threat of corona when it comes to staff and<br />
how to protect them and our customers is vital. But with the<br />
dramatic downturn in work load I fear there is a great threat to<br />
companies and operators themselves.<br />
Some companies with low overheads may fare better than<br />
others, but it matters not if you’re a one-man operator or a large<br />
multi-million-pound company, the reality is no one is protected<br />
financially, there will sadly be many companies in the coming<br />
months ahead that will have to shut the doors. I’m already aware<br />
of three operators that have had to cease trading in the last 72<br />
hours. Sad times; the time, effort and financial investment lost,<br />
not just the loss of the business, the impact on families that<br />
are no longer able to benefit from the rewards of that business.<br />
The government has released initial details on assistance for<br />
business and the self-employed which will develop over the<br />
coming days.<br />
The Government has granted a six-month extension for all<br />
MOTs expiring 30 March and beyond providing they are kept in<br />
a roadworthy condition and meet the MOT standard. Failure to<br />
do so leaves you subject to prosecution. Police and government<br />
agencies have the powers to <strong>issue</strong> on the spot fines and prohibit<br />
the use of the vehicle and trailer if present.<br />
Should a vehicle be involved in an RTA and defects are found<br />
this may go against you as an owner/driver. Prohibition rules still<br />
stand, and if <strong>issue</strong>d may require a full MOT test to remove it and<br />
if a trailer is involved will render them both unroadworthy. Keep<br />
all paperwork up to date ensuring you stay legal. Exemption<br />
does not give the right to use a defective vehicle on a public<br />
highway and put people’s lives at risk, road safety is paramount.<br />
Cancellation and postponement of 2020 events<br />
The COVID-19 outbreak has had an enormous impact on<br />
cancellation and postponement of 2020 events. Sadly, we have<br />
had to pull this year’s RRRA Annual Members Show due to be<br />
held on the weekend of 9-10 May this is due to the cancellation<br />
of the Nottinghamshire Show and to comply with the current<br />
government guidelines on social gatherings and distancing.<br />
The RRRA had a packed calendar of meetings and events<br />
which have pretty much all been cancelled; however, we have<br />
been holding our council meetings via video conferencing<br />
and the office phone has been manned seven days a week to<br />
provide support to all of our members during these uncertain<br />
times. Fingers crossed the Tow Show in Telford due to be held<br />
on late September will still be able to go ahead and all this<br />
infection we will be able to put behind us.<br />
We want our members to take the opportunity to ask<br />
questions, voice any concerns and opinions they may have, so<br />
tell the RRRA council, email us work with us.<br />
It will be over eventually, and then we must work together for<br />
the future, united in our efforts to put the industry back on the<br />
road to success.<br />
Stay safe everyone.<br />
Death of David Marks, MD of Stafford-based<br />
GRG Public Resources Ltd<br />
Staffordshire business has announced<br />
A the death of its Managing Director,<br />
David Marks.<br />
The 45-strong team at GRG Public<br />
Resources Ltd. has been informed and<br />
Directors stress that the successful<br />
company will continue to grow.<br />
David Marks joined GRG Public<br />
Resources, based on the Staffordshire<br />
Technology Park, Stafford, as Managing<br />
Director in 2003, having previously run<br />
successful companies across the West<br />
Midlands.<br />
He led a successful management buyout<br />
of the company in 2014, together with<br />
fellow Director, John Marks, David’s son.<br />
Fellow Director Bruce Ridley said:<br />
“David was 72, and he died of a sudden<br />
heart attack. He hadn’t been unwell and<br />
had been in the office just the day before.<br />
Whilst he had taken a more strategic<br />
background role recently at GRG, not<br />
dealing with day-to-day <strong>issue</strong>s, he was still<br />
a force to be reckoned with in business,<br />
having started his first company in 1968.<br />
“David will be succeeded as Managing<br />
Director by John, his son. His death was<br />
a shock and he will be missed by all, but<br />
we gathered the staff together at the<br />
start of the week to let them know and to<br />
impress on everyone that the Directors<br />
will continue to build the business; it’s<br />
business as usual.<br />

Way up in the very North East of Scotland in<br />
Aberdeen you will find SS Walker <strong>Recovery</strong>.<br />
SS Walker at the Richmond Garage handles<br />
commercial work with its 10 vehicle fleet,<br />
which includes three service vans and a heavy<br />
crane. They generally operate within a 100km<br />
radius.<br />
“Most of our work is on the back roads,<br />
usually with ditches on either side. Other work<br />
comes from trucks going to and from ferries<br />
servicing the islands. Our workshop is a service<br />
centre for Mercedes -Benz and Scania Trucks.<br />
Stuart says: “It’s not easy terrain to work<br />
in. On a map in the office of a recovery club<br />
down south it might look like an easy job that<br />
they have given us. But due to the difficult<br />
terrain, plus speed restrictions, jobs can<br />

The company has been in business for 47 years. Their<br />
recovery vehicle fleet now consists of 12 vehicles which includes<br />
Scammells for the bigger, heavier tasks. Tel: Craig Dymoch on<br />

take much longer than might be expected. For example, the<br />
road from here to Inverness is 40mph all the way with no dual<br />
carriageways, so that’s over 100 miles at 40 mph.<br />
“The difficult terrain means that some of the jobs that<br />
look like they should take, in theory, a couple of hours will, in<br />
practice, take twice that long and an apparently easy job could<br />
take an entire eight hours to complete.”<br />
He pointed out that unlike some operators he has the correct<br />
equipment to do the work and is a PAS43 recovery operator.<br />
You can call them on 01224 732568.<br />
Auto Services Perth has been in business for about 26 yrs. It<br />
began life as a small operation but over the years it has grown<br />
into growing to today’s business with over 14 vehicles<br />
When it comes to an artic recovery we often split the load,<br />
taking the tractor unit to a workshop and the trailer on its<br />
destination.<br />
Operating in a 35 miles radius but including UK- wide<br />
coverage, if required Auto Service employs 40 people. It also<br />
operates a workshop which is open 7am to midnight Monday to<br />
Friday. And 9am -1pm Saturday. Also an Iveco service centre,<br />
Mercedes-Benz van centre. Also service centre for Renault<br />
trucks. It’s the nearest service centre to many of the Scottish<br />
islands. Call George Fergus on 01738 210003<br />
George said: “We can now cover any type of vehicle recovery<br />
from a scooter to an artic, with no bother.<br />
“We also try to feed work into our own workshops, plus we<br />
are an authorised tachograph fitting and calibrating centre, so it<br />
all fits together nicely.”<br />
As well as being a vehicle recovery operator, Elite Falkirk<br />
Ltd. also operates a<br />
workshop and a MOT<br />

number of heavy recoveries.<br />
“Each recovery job is different but our fleet is equipped to<br />

WORKSHOP<br />
VERSATILE NEW MINI PRECISION<br />
HAMMER FROM LASER TOOLS<br />
Speeding up the<br />
removal of trim panels,<br />
trim clips and useful for<br />
light panel beating.<br />
Benson<br />
Garage Ltd<br />
THIS versatile new mini precision<br />
hammer from Laser Tools (part<br />
number 7615 for the multi-head<br />
set or 7617 for the hammer separately)<br />
has a multitude of uses but is primarily<br />
designed for popping in trim clips; the<br />
handle is also a neat and flexible pry-bar,<br />
useful for removing trim clips.<br />
The hammer is light-weight, and<br />
175mm in length. If you buy the hammer<br />
on its own it’s supplied with a soft head<br />
and a hard head. If you buy the full set,<br />
you get six different heads: copper,<br />
rubber, aluminium and steel rounded<br />
heads, and copper and plastic flat<br />
heads. This makes it also ideal for basic<br />
panel beating tasks, the steel head for<br />
steel panel work, and the alloy head for<br />
bare alloy panel work (ensuring no steel<br />
contamination on the alloy). The heads<br />
are easily and quickly interchangeable, so<br />
can always use the correct head for the<br />
MOTORMOVE UK<br />
24 HR RECOVERY<br />
job in hand.<br />
And the shaft of the hammer is<br />
super-flexible, giving a solid dead-blow<br />
and accurate placement, protecting<br />
the substrate. As does the composite<br />
material of the hammer and its built-in<br />
pry-bar, letting you pop out trim clips<br />
or trim panels without damaging the<br />
underlying paintwork.<br />
The 7615 set is supplied in a sturdy<br />
blow-mould case which fits neatly in the<br />
tool chest.<br />
Available now from your Laser Tools<br />
stockist and great value: the 7615 mini<br />
precision hammer set is typically priced<br />
at £37.34; the 7617 mini precision<br />
hammer on its own is £13.42 (these<br />
prices include VAT). Always remember<br />
to check for the best prices and special<br />
offers.<br />
