• A new 10-minute filmstrip and commentary has been produced by British Road Services Ltd. It publicizes a new method of distribution which eliminates the use of intermediate stockholding or break-bulk points, reduces the size of vehicles required and "hits hard at warehousing, handling and inventory costs".
The introduction is followed by an actual example of the scheme in action which shows a night shuttle /shop delivery service operated by BRS for J. Bibby and Son, Liverpool.
The filmstrip will be shown on request to manufacturers anywhere in the UK. Mr Kieren Fielding, head of marketing, BRS Group, said: "The success of the system depends on the availability of vehicle bases at the optimal points between production location and the delivery area. This is a requirement which BRS, with its nationwide organization, is in a unique position to provide."
