• nondelivery is to extend working hours at a number of its depots and will launch a round-the-clock operation at its Droitwich hub which opened this week with an E800,000 extension. The company will also adopt the corporate logo of its parent, Rockwood Holdings.
"Rockwood is dedicated to backing our expansion plans," explains managing director Jeremy Furber. "We have won ourselves a big niche in the market with security distribution, but we must keep pushing hard if our competitors are to remain also-rans." Rockwood is now the largest UK-owned freight forwarder in the country, following several acquisitions. The most recent of these were Mercury Air Freight in September and Walford Meadows in June.
o Bondelivery will be the first UK customer for Securicor Communications' "Datatrak" fleet tracking system. It has already invested nearly £500,000 (E1,500 per vehicle plus control centres) in Datatrak — a system enabling operators to pinpoint vehicles to within 50 metres on a moving computer-generated map.
