We are a leading global manufacturer and distributor of heavy duty diesel and light duty vehicle emissions control systems and products to major automakers and retrofitters. Our business is driven by increasingly stringent global emission standards for internal combustion engines, which are major sources of a variety of harmful pollutants.Our innovative solutions significantly reduce four principal harmful emissions formed by the combustion of fossil fuels and biofuels without increasing secondary emissions such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2):

Particulate matter (PM) – or "soot" that contains over 40 known cancer-causing compounds according to the California Air Resources Board, or CARB

Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) – produces smog                                                 

Hydrocarbons (HC) – a precursor to ground-level ozone, a serious air pollutant known to cause adverse health effects according to the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA

Carbon monoxide (CO) – reduces oxygen delivery within the body

We operate in two primary divisions:  our Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division, which specializes in the design and maintenance of verified exhaust emission control solutions, and our Catalyst division, which produces catalyst formulations for gasoline, diesel and natural gas induced emissions.

Meeting Global Air Quality Standards

Deteriorating air quality and concerns about climate change are driving global regulations for control of harmful combustion emissions. Regulatory standards have been adopted worldwide to control the emissions of NOx, PM, CO and carbon dioxide (CO2), from on- and off-road internal combustion engine exhaust.  Because standards put in place by the EPA, CARB and other international regulators continue to become more restrictive over time, we view the markets for our products as continually expanding. 

According to a 2005 EPA study, on-road motor vehicles (cars and trucks) were the largest emitters of NOx in the United States, with the second largest contributor being non-road equipment (mostly gasoline and diesel engines). The study also lists on-road vehicles as the second largest source of volatile organic compounds, at 26%, with 19% coming from off-road equipment. According to the same study, on-road vehicles were responsible for 60% of CO emissions. Nationwide, three-quarters of CO emissions come from on-road motor vehicles and non-road engines, such as boats and construction equipment. The market for catalyst materials to support emission control is estimated to exceed $7 billion by 2015, while we believe the heavy duty diesel retrofit market is expected to grow to several hundred million.

The Clean Diesel Difference - Complete Emissions Solution

We are a vertically integrated company and our principal objective is the worldwide deployment of technologies to reduce the overall emissions from diesel, gasoline, natural gas and biofuel applications and to continue a leadership position in emissions reduction technology.

Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. was established in 1994 and in 2010, completed a business combination with Catalytic Solutions, Inc. We have over 30 years experience in vehicle emissions control technologies, and offer one of the industry's most comprehensive portfolios of evaluated and EPA- and CARB-verified systems for use in engine retrofit programs, as well as by regulators in several European countries.

Our Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division products include our Engine Control Systems, or ECS,- and Clean Diesel-branded products for the retrofit and OEM markets.  We sell these products directly as well as through our distributor/dealer network.   This division also offers our Platinum Plus® range of fuel-borne catalyst solutions to global markets.

Our Catalyst division products are based on our proprietary Mixed Phase Catalyst, or MPC® technology, which we have formulated for use in gasoline, diesel and natural gas emissions applications.  We view our catalyst products as highly differentiated from competing products because they offer similar or better performance while using little or no platinum group metals.  Our Catalyst division has supplied over 10 million catalyst parts to light duty vehicle customers since 1996.

With headquarters in Ventura, California and operations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Japan and Sweden, we have a unique perspective on global solutions for emissions reduction. Backed with regulatory verifications and approvals, we have created a suite of products that are cost-effective, sustainable and used with proven success in new equipment and retrofit applications, including the following markets:

On-Road VehiclesConstruction Mining Ports and MarineRailStationary PowerMaterial Handling

Our proprietary Catalyst division products are manufactured at our facility in Oxnard, California, while our Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division products are manufactured at our facilities in Reno, Nevada; Thornhill, Canada; Malmö, Sweden and South Godstone, United Kingdom. We have nearly 200 distributors globally

Broad portfolio of products backed by strong intellectual property.

Air pollution can affect our health in many ways. Numerous scientific studies have linked air pollution to a variety of serious health problems for people, especially the young and elderly. In response to human health issues and air quality concerns, regulatory standards have been adopted worldwide to control the emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2), from on- and off-road internal combustion engine exhaust. Because standards put in place by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), California Air Resources Board (CARB) and other international regulators continue to become more restrictive over time, we view the markets for our products as continually expanding. 

Clean Diesel has succeeded in developing a world-class technology portfolio to meet and exceed these regulatory emission standards.

Our research and development in catalyst technology has resulted in a broad array of products for the light duty vehicle and heavy duty diesel markets. Our greatest strength in the catalyst business lies in the technical sophistication and cost-to-performance ratio of our products.

We have developed a novel technology for creating and manufacturing catalysts known as mixed phase catalyst (MPC®). This patented technology involves the self-assembly of a ceramic oxide matrix with catalytic metals precisely positioned within three-dimensional structures. The MPC® design gives our catalyst products two critical attributes that differentiate them from competing offerings: superior stability that allows heat, resistance and high performance with very low levels of precious metals; and base metal activation allows base metals to be used instead of costly platinum group metals without compromising catalytic performance.

We have developed and patented our Platinum Plus® fuel-borne catalyst as a diesel fuel soluble additive, which contains minute amounts of organo-metallic platinum and cerium catalysts. Platinum Plus® is used to improve combustion which acts to reduce emissions and improve the performance and reliability of emission control equipment. Platinum Plus® fuel-borne catalyst takes catalytic action into engine cylinders where it improves combustion, thereby reducing particulates, unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and CO emissions. Thus, Platinum Plus® fuel-borne catalyst lends itself to a wide range of enabling solutions including diesel particulate filtration, low emission biodiesel, carbon reduction and exhaust emission reduction. Environmentally conscious corporations and fleets can utilize this solution to voluntarily reduce emissions.

In addition to these technologies, we have strong technologies in urea injection (ARIS®) and exhaust gas recirculation with selective catalytic reduction. The integration of core technologies and design into cost-effective, robust emission control systems is also a core competency.

Product development in our Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division has resulted in a broad family of verified products and systems, with additional products in the pipeline. We credit our accomplishments to strong engineering capabilities, an experienced team, streamlined product development processes and solid experience in the verification and approval process. We seek to acquire competitive advantage through the use of customized catalysts for our emission control systems.

We protect our proprietary technologies, along with our other intellectual property, through the use of patents, trade secrets and registered and common law trademarks. We have nearly 300 issued or pending patents.

Intellectual Property

Clean Diesel's fundamental value proposition is built on its solid intellectual property position.  This includes an extensive portfolio of patents, regulatory approvals, technology and the related know-how associated with the understanding and implementation of technology into applications and the regulatory schemes that drive such a business.

This opens up significant opportunities for our partners and customers to market and implement their own systems, protected and enhanced by our intellectual property. It remains Clean Diesel's strategic mission to continually improve and expand its technology and patent coverage.

Patents

CDT has a large number of US and international patents covering the use of fuel-borne catalysts (FBCs) for particulate matter control and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) for NOx control of diesel engine exhaust emissions.

Fuel-Borne Catalyst

CDT has over 100 US and international patents granted on the use of platinum and combined platinum/cerium-based FBCs, notably when used in conjunction with various catalyzed and uncatalyzed emissions control devices. These patents cover the use of platinum on its own or in combination with cerium or iron-based FBCs. When used with exhaust emissions control devices, such as Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF), partial filters including the Catalyzed Wire Mesh Filter and Diesel Oxidation catalysts (DOC), these technologies offer the following advantages:

Create a more active FBC, reducing the amount of base cerium and iron required to treat the fuelAllow substantial reduction in the amount of platinum used in the manufacture of catalytic devicesLimit the emissions of NO2, a gas very much more toxic than NO. NO2 emissions are traditionally increased by heavily catalyzed conventional devicesImprove the soot conversion of the emissions control device (DOC), leading to higher soot reductionsImprove the reliability and the life of the device

Clean Diesel patents also cover product dosing and delivery strategies, multiple families of fuel-borne catalysts and formulation technologies, and the use of cerium-based and other FBCs when applied with catalyzed and uncatalyzed aftertreatment devices.

SCR

Clean Diesel has nine US and corresponding international patent families covering Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) using urea, which is a highly effective method of reducing NOx. These patents teach how to successfully apply the proven SCR process for mobile applications, transferring the learning from over 30 years of SCR use in power generation, with emission control that is sulfur tolerant, and can be used with all types of fuel. Clean Diesel's patents also include the delivery of reductants from solid, liquid and gaseous form. Clean Diesel's ARIS® system forms a key part of the SCR system and is an advanced, computer-controlled, reagent injection system. The system covers a concept for injecting urea into the engine exhaust where it reacts across a catalyst, to reduce NOx to nitrogen and water vapor.

The ARIS® system is a single-fluid system with very few components, and which doesn't require compressed air. These fundamental patents covers single-fluid systems, methods of control and the combination of SCR with exhaust gas recirculation technology (EGR). This SCR-EGR combination is preferred by industry leading vehicle manufacturers in new diesel engines to maximize the NOx reduction and fuel efficiency.

Approvals and Verification

Clean Diesel has worked effectively in the past 10 years to secure a number of strategic approvals and verifications. These allow our customers and partners to participate in active programs by taking advantage of our broad coverage of approved technologies and allowing a competitive advantage.

In Europe, our platinum and cerium fuel-borne catalyst has undergone testing and approval by the Swiss VERT program, thereby allowing its use with a DPF for the majority of EU countries. We have also gained specific approvals with a number of European member states, where grants are available for retrofit emission control programs. These include the UK, Denmark and Switzerland.

In the US, our platinum and cerium FBC is US EPA-registered, and we have several products that hold "formerly verified" status with the EPA. Again, these provide our partners with the opportunity to adopt our technology to market their own systems under our approvals.

Clean Diesel continues development and testing of new technologies, including verification programs with environmental authorities around the world.

Why you need us

We can help you to meet and exceed your emissions obligations. As specialists we understand the technologies and can help you select the right route, simply and cost-effectively.

Diesel has long been the worldwide energy source of choice in road transportation and haulage, due to its high energy content, low cost, portability and reliability. Diesel engines are important because they provide more power and typically around 35% greater fuel efficiency than an equivalent petrol engine. However, while their CO2 'carbon footprint' is also better, their Nitric Oxide / Dioxide (NOx) and diesel Particulate Matter (PM) emissions are not.

The European Commission estimates that air pollution is responsible for more deaths each year than road accidents (over 300,000) and that its annual cost to the European Union is as much as 760 billion euros. 

In response the EU set new air quality standards, mandating maximum permissible level of pollutants in the air and with focus on tackling road transport's contribution to air pollution. In areas of high vehicle density that lead to "hot spots" of air pollution, tough regulations are coming into place in the form of Low Emission Zones (LEZs), with over 50 already either active or planned for cities across Europe.

London's Low Emission Zone, covering 607 sq. miles of the Greater London Area, is one of the largest.  Rolled out in 2008 and with new tougher phases coming into place in 2012, technology is needed to enable vehicle owners and operators to simply and cost-effectively retrofit existing emission control systems to meet this tough new legislation.

Clean Diesel Technologies Solutions

Developing products from our own Intellectual Property, Clean Diesel Technologies is a leading supplier of retrofit and original equipment systems that cost effectively meet demanding new Low Emission Zone legislation.

Our technologies and solutions meet the strict regulatory PM and NOx emission standards on new and old engines alike, allowing diesel engines to be used instead of petrol, without adversely impacting air quality. Importantly our solutions provide further energy efficiencies to reduce the carbon impact of all diesel applications.

Purifier™e4 Urban Filter Systems provide energy efficiencies and CO2 reductions of 5-12%* or more, depending on engine and application Platinum Plus® fuel-borne catalysts provide energy efficiencies and CO2 reduction of 5-12%*Clean Diesel provides low emission solutions for use with lower carbon alternative fuels (such as CNG and LPG) and renewable fuels, in addition to more efficient use of petroleum resources Licensees of Clean Diesel's EGR-SCR technology benefit from the combination of NOx reduction and energy efficiency ARIS® airless return flow urea injection technologies facilitate the use of SCR, providing a 5-7% increase in fuel efficiency compared to EGR-equipped diesel engines

Technology Development
Going forward, stricter regulations are expected to be implemented in markets worldwide. These regulations will focus not only on commercial and light vehicles, such as passenger cars, but also on two-wheeled and off-road vehicles, locomotives and marine transportation, and stationary power.

In addition to reducing harmful emissions of PM and NOx, Clean Diesel solutions meet the growing need to address carbon emissions. We continue to develop and enhance our technologies to provide energy efficient emissions solutions that also lower carbon impact of engines, using either traditional or alternative fuels.

A range of regeneration technologies to create reliable filter regeneration and system performance across a variety of possible applications and operations. A common electronic control platform known as iAD, allowing for individual system upgrades within the Purifier e4 range.

Future Proof Regeneration Technologies

The Purifier e4 range uniquely brings together three popular regeneration technologies offering choice and peace of mind.

Purifier e4 Hybrid – is a DPF system which provides the best possible passive regeneration performance. It is optimised for Euro III engines operating inside the M25 and backed up by Clean Diesels "Performance Guarantee".Purifier e4 Highway – is a DPF system utilising Clean Diesel's unique 'MPC catalyst technology' (a sinter-resistant precious metal catalyst). The product provides a durable, high performance, low maintenance solution as well as an upgrade option to Purifier e4 Hybrid. It is used by fleets in mixed and highway operating conditions. This allows LEZ compliance at a fixed cost whilst maintaining flexible modular upgrade options if operating conditions alter.Purifier e4 Urban- is a fuel borne catalyst (FBC) system which utilises Clean Diesel's Platinum Plus Fuel-borne Catalysts (FBC). Platinum Plus delivers catalytic properties without the need to use valuable precious metal catalytic coatings on the DPF. This results in a wider operational and application range for DPF's in general and allows London LEZ compliance at a low initial purchase price whilst maintaining an upgrade option to Purifier e4 Hybrid if required.  Purifier iAD diagnostic technology is an 'Intelligent Additive Dosing' and diagnostic technology used in retrofit applications. It is designed to minimise operating and maintenance costs, offering integrated vehicle and DPF diagnostics and when required, fuel borne catalyst dosing. iAD monitors both DPF and customer defined vehicle parameters.

In addition to in-cab alerts, the iAD system utilises a GSM-radio enabled ECU which can be fitted with a SIM card to deliver real time diagnostic signals via SMS messaging when maintenance attention is required. It is also programmable and capable of delivering on-demand diagnostic information remotely, via any mobile handset or SMS browsing software.

Clean Diesel sets the standard with Superior Warranty Cover and a Performance Guarantee
London LEZ 2012 stipulates that suppliers must provide a 2 year warranty with emissions products.

Clean Diesel also supplies customers using Purifier e4 Highway or e4 Hybrid with a Performance Guarantee.

Mixed Phase Catalyst (MPC®) Technology

At Clean Diesel we invented and own a fundamentally unique and patented material technology for the development of catalysts.  Our technology significantly improves catalytic performance and is highly durable and cost-effective. We have developed unique nanostructures that are  thermally stable and resistant to sintering enabling superior catalytic peformance over time and at extreme temperatures.

MPC Advantages

Superior catalytic performance

Our propretary MPC® Technology has enabled us to produce catalytic coatings of significantly better catalytic performance than previously available. Our unique nanostructure technology enables the oxide catalysts in its compounds to resist sintering or fusing, thereby maintaining a high catalytic surface area.  As a result in Heavy Duty Diesel (HDD) and automotive applications our catalyst formulations are able to maintain high levels of performance over time using substantially lower platinum group metals than products previously available.

Significant cost advantage 

A significant benefit of our catalyst technology is that it offers performance equal to or exceeding that of competing catalytic coatings with a 30% to 80% reduction in PGM loadings.

 Wide range of catalyst application

Our proprietary technology is a design approach not just a single chemical formulation. This has enabled us to develop a platform that can be tailored for a range of applications. The oxide compounds can be adpated for specific applications by adding them to a wide range of chemical elements. We are able to vary the mixtures of compounds to create customised solutions for complex HDD equipment for the OEM and the retrofit markets.

Proven durability

Clean Diesel products and systems have undergone substantial testing by our customers and have demonstrated their durability and reliability in a wide range of applications for many years.  They have also achieved numerous certifications and match or exceed industry standards

Manufacturing process

We have developed an innovative and sophisticated manufacturing process for coating substrates using our MPC® catalytic coatings. Our manufacturing process consists of mixing specially formulated catalytic coatings, applying the coatings to ceramic substrates, then firing the coated substrates in a furnace. This complex process of mixing and applying the various types of coatings onto high cell density substrates is extremely complex. Our first generation manufacturing line currently producing coated substrates for several vehicles,has satisfied all requirements for process control, accountability and quality required by our automotive customers.  Our second generation line has process control up to three times better than our first and operates at significantly higher throughput.

Fuel-Borne Catalysts Products
Platinum Plus fuel-borne catalyst offerings improve fuel combustion to:

Reduce emissions and enhance the performance of emission control systems, andIncrease fuel economy and reduce the carbon footprint of engine applications. These premium benefits are attributable to a unique combination of both in-cylinder and post-combustion effects.

Platinum Plus enhanced in-cylinder combustion

Catalysts are an essential part of any emission control strategy. Traditionally, catalysts are used in solid-state form to treat the exhaust stream after leaving the engine. Clean Diesel's fuel-borne catalyst approach is unique in that it brings catalytic action into the combustion chamber through the fuel to act not only in the solid state, but also in the liquid and gaseous states. The unique three-phase catalytic action of Platinum Plus in the engine provides three key combustion mechanisms, contributing to a new level of performance and emission control:

Solid state: Small amounts of the catalysts are deposited on the metal surfaces of the combustion chamber, promoting a uniform flame front by catalytic activation throughout the combustion cycle.

Liquid state: The uniform distribution of the catalyst within the fuel allows for a faster burn at a lower temperature. Platinum Plus catalysts are fully fuel-soluble, rather than suspensions. In this way, using Platinum Plus avoids the potential for inconsistent combustion from non-uniform catalyst dispersion, storage instabilities or mechanical wear or injector clogging effects.

Gaseous state: Catalysation effects continue through the vapour phase to provide complete combustion. Our patented platinum-cerium formulations are designed to work  with platinum as a highly effective oxidation initiator and the cerium co-catalyst as an efficient oxygen carrier.

The net results of enhanced in-cylinder catalytic combustion are:

extended power across the entire crank angle cycle, resulting in additional available energy and improved utilization of fuelreduced engine-out emissions (less soot, hydrocarbons, CO and CO2).

Flexible deployment

Platinum Plus can be used with on-board dosing systems to reliably treat fuel, or can be added directly to bulk fuel for fleet operations. In dosing deployments, ultra-concentrated formulations are available to support "fit for life" type applications, minimizing or eliminating the maintenance logistics associated with an additional on-board fluid.

Additional performance and maintenance benefits of Platinum Plus:

Visibly improves smoke and exhaust opacityEnhances fuel water shedding, lubricity and stabilitySuperior detergents work with the catalysts to help keep injectors, valves, fuel and combustion systems cleanLess soot build-up in lube oils can result in lower viscosity increase and reduced maintenance Improves cleanliness and durability of engines operating with turbochargers and exhaust gas recirculation systems.

There are more than 44 Million used tyres being produced each year in the UK. At the same time, increasing vehicle ownership means the number of used tyres requiring disposal is rising and is expected to continue to do so. New legislation has also been introduced (EC Landfill Directive) which make it illegal for whole tyres to be land filled from June 2003, and shredded tyres being land filled from 2006.

Most automotive business and scrap collectors have end of use tyres that are usually stored in an unsightly pile in or around their premises taking up valuable working space. Depending on the size of your business, old tyres are a constant problem that cannot be ignored and all responsible businesses now recognise how important it is that scrap tyres are collected by a legitimate waste carrier. Additionally, more businesses are becoming aware that it is their responsibility to ensure that these tyres do actually reach a legitimate disposal site.

So, what's the problem?

Tyre stockpiles – fires

Tyres are highly flammable. Care must be taken when stockpiling tyres to reduce the risk of exothermic oxidation reactions creating conditions that favour the combustion of whole stockpiles by the unwary or indeed the arsonist. Burning tyres produce dense smoke and toxic fumes polluting air, water, soil and vegetation.

Many of the toxic fumes released have the capacity to cause a genetic mutation that can lead to cancer or genetic diseases in future generations. It has also been known for these fires to burn for days costing the local economy significant amounts. Water used to control these fires may also cause these pollutants to be washed into the ground.

Tyres illegally dumped

Used tyres get illegally dumped in the countryside including fields and quarries. They are also dumped on remote business premises which can be at the very least disruptive to the day to day activities of the business and more likely hazardous. Because of the synthetic and chemical materials in tyres, it is also virtually impossible for them to be broken down naturally to their original raw material state.

Not only are tyres an eye sore, ruining our enjoyment of the countryside, but they are also a major source of pollution. The tyre mounds can also provide a breeding ground for vermin and insects

Are there any solutions?

Yes, TIREC Group Ltd offers a comprehensive tyre disposal and removal service as well as a multitude of further services dedicated to providing innovative but environmentally sustainable products to UK industry.

If you have a "waste tyre" problem, be it BIG or small we can offer a solution. We collect and recycle all forms of post consumer waste tyres nationally and can promise an efficient, reliable and fully compliant solution to your tyre disposal requirements. Waste tyres processed by TIREC Group Ltd are comprehensively removed from the waste stream, helping keep Britain a cleaner, greener place.

TIREC Group Ltd is an end to end solution provider for the waste tyre industry. Recognising the problem associated with end of use tyres, we have now established a tyre recovery service that is specifically designed to offer a fully compliant, reliable and responsible option to our customers. We are members of the Tyre Recovery Association which means that by using us as your Registered Waste Carrier, You are ensuring that your Duty of Care responsibilities have been met in full. Copies of our Waste Carriers License are available upon request.

The tyres are then processed into baled products which have numerous engineering properties and applications as well as other potential uses and are environmentally friendly. These bales are produced in line with the PAS108 specification and operating procedure for use in construction and engineering applications.

Aimed specifically at the motor trade to include main dealers, fast-fit operations and independent garages this service is also available to and used by farmers, small business and large multinationals alike.

To ensure that we handle your collection as smoothly as possible, we ask for some relevant information from you before we visit your site. On all visits we ask that you please arrange for our collection staff to have help with loading, for reasons of Health and Safety and to ensure the number and mix of tyres is verified by your own staff at the time of collection. This information will be recorded on a Waste Transfer Note and our staff will ensure you receive a copy for your own records

TIREC Group Ltd is a national tyre recovery and recycling solutions company. We specialise in the collection, segregation, recycling & disposal of post consumer tyres. This is an integral part of the end of life tyre management process.

One of the main end of life uses for these tyres is tyre bales, which TIREC Group Ltd produce from the waste tyres and which have numerous applications within the construction and leisure sectors.

There are two Company Directors; Lee Barrett and Steve Wood who have over 30 years experience in the industry between them.

The company has a unique and proven formula, which has enabled it to build a solid business over the last few years.

The use of tyre bales in construction is progressively becoming the norm due to the industry's increasing awareness of its benefits, with help over recent years from WRAP, H R Wallingford, The Transport Research Laboratory and Southampton University among others.

TIREC is a totally independent company, without any ties to manufactures or finance providers. This means that it has the flexibility to expand and offer the most competitive deals from across the market place.

TIREC and its partners are committed to customer delight and environmental sustainability; this is embedded into all our processes

Case Studies and Construction Examples

The case studies presented below cover a wide range of applications including roads over soft ground, slope repairs, retaining walls and river and flood protection works. These applications exploit the key characteristics of tyre bales such as their lightweight, their high porosity and permeability, the fact that they are relatively inert, their ease of handling and their versatility.

It is clear that the manufacture of tyre bales and their subsequent use in construction is a highly effective and beneficial use of end of use tyres and has considerable potential for the future.

Rubber Mulch is the eco-friendly and child friendly alternative to wood bark. There are several reasons why councils and private home owners chose rubber mulch instead of wood bark.

No settlement compaction or rotting to allow for Retains no moisture and does not stay wet Does not attract pets and wild-life soiling Does not blow around or easily scatter Effectively maintenance free therefore cheaper to own Drop tested to BSEN1177 standards for playground use Will not float or wash away No heavy raking, topping up or replacement needed Helps to curb weeds, mould and fungus Shredded solid rubber (Not Chunks) Comfortable underfoot and more natural aesthetic Better coverage Highest safety 10 year warranty against colour loss Coloured organic pigment – Not Paint Non Flammable Toy Safe Variety of colours to blend in with your own project

As you can see from the above list rubber mulch, also referred to schredded rubber, rubber chips or playground mulch has alot of advantages over ordinary wood bark.

Wet pour rubber is commonly used for sports and play surfaces, but also virtually any other surface you can think of, including walls, is a rubber safety surface which meets the recommendations set by British Standards and is widely used by local authorities, county councils, schools, theme parks and hotels throughout the UK.

Wet pour is a seamless, anti-slip rubber granule flooring, which is held together with a strong polyurethane resin. We can pour it into many designs, even custom made ones in a variety of colours and it can be laid outside as well as inside .

It is ideal for many uses such as:

Swimming Pools Retirement Homes Golf Course Pathways Driving Ranges Play Areas Patios Wet Bathrooms Footpaths & Patios Garden Pathways New Build Kennels Childrens Playgrounds - complies with all Health & Safety Guidelines on Critical Fall Heights' and Slip Resistances' as recommended by RoSPA.

Our wetpour safety surface comes with a 3 year warranty and has very low maintenance. Wetpour Surfaces are very easy to clean with regular soap and water should you require to clean it and have a very long life

Artificial Lawn also called synthetic grass or astro turf is a low maintenance, eco-friendly product which can be used as an ideal solution for muddy lawns and garden, roof gardens, balconies, swimming pool surrounds, putting greens and patios.

Artificial Grass Lawns are U.V. stabilised and keep your surroundings green all year around. They require virtually no maintenance i.e: mowing, feeding, fertilising and weeding and therefore can free up alot of our time.

Elderly and infirm clients find this particularly beneficial as they do not have to physically mow their lawns. Artificial Grass Lawns are also popular with holiday owners as they are not always on site to look after their lawns.

Pet owners appreciate the fact that artificial lawns cannot be dug up or destroyed by pets, thus no transfer of muddy paws into the house.

Swimming pool owners find it very useful as ground cover around their pools as no mud, dust or dirt from the artificial lawn gets transferred into the pool.

Roof garden owners find it impractical and virtually impossible to mow regular grass thus making an artificial lawn an ideal solution.

Most popularly however Artificial Grass is used for sport pitches and fields to replace normal grass.

New Jersey's Mandatory State?Funded Diesel Retrofit Program

Ventura, CA – October 26, 2011 ?? Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDTI) ("Clean Diesel"), a

cleantech emissions reduction company, announced today that its Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division

has won orders valued in excess of $1.7 million for its verified (approved) emission reduction products

under the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ("NJDEP") Mandatory Diesel Retrofit

Program. The program requires the retrofitting of a variety of vehicles and equipment by established

deadlines at the State's expense. Clean Diesel expects shipments of these orders to occur in the fourth

quarter of 2011.

Clean Diesel's ECS?branded Purifilter® Plus diesel particulate filter (DPF) emissions reduction system was

approved by the NJDEP for retrofitting under the Mandatory Diesel Retrofit Program which requires

owners of certain diesel?powered vehicles and equipment, such as dump, recycling and tow trucks, to

install control devices to reduce the emissions of fine particulate matter, commonly called "soot." The

State of New Jersey is steadfast about reducing the amount of particulate matter emitted by diesel

vehicles, as evidenced by their dedicated website, www.stopthesoot.org. According to the website,

numerous programs have been implemented to reduce the harmful diesel exhaust that New Jersey

citizens are exposed to every day. Under the Mandatory Diesel Retrofit Program, there is no cost to the

owners of regulated vehicles to install retrofit technology because the purchase and installation cost for

the retrofit technology is reimbursed by the NJDEP. September 8, 2011 was the deadline for any State,

county, municipality, or political subdivision thereof that owns regulated diesel?powered vehicles or

regulated off?road equipment in New Jersey to submit an inventory/retrofit cost estimate to the NJDEP.

The NJDEP will conduct a mandatory review in order to authorize the retrofit and reimbursement.

"We appreciate the funding and leadership provided by the NJDEP for this diesel retrofit program, which

will help limit exposure to diesel pollution, improve air quality for New Jersey citizens and deliver

advanced diesel engine technologies that create cleaner engines for our customers. Programs like this

continue to be implemented in various states across the U.S. in the effort to reduce emissions from

mobile sources and help attain and maintain air quality standards. The NJDEP represents yet another

program that will leverage the unique features of the Purifilter® Plus product, which is ideal for

municipal vehicles, school buses and heavy trucks alike, and compliments our broad product range

covering most other mobile applications," said Ian MacDonald, Vice President, North America Sales and

Marketing of Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc.'s Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division.

About Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc.

Clean Diesel is a vertically integrated global manufacturer and distributor of emissions control systems

and products, focused on the heavy duty diesel and light duty vehicle markets. Clean Diesel utilizes its

proprietary patented Mixed Phase Catalyst (MPC®) technology, as well as its ARIS® selective catalytic

reduction, Platinum Plus® fuel?borne catalyst, and other technologies to provide high?value sustainable

solutions to reduce emissions, increase energy efficiency and lower the carbon intensity of on? and offroad

engine applications. Clean Diesel is headquartered in Ventura, California and currently has

operations in the U.S., Canada, U.K., France, Japan and Sweden. For more information, please visit

www.cdti.com.

About the New Jersey Mandatory Diesel Retrofit Program

While there are federal engine emission standards in place for newer vehicles, heavy?duty diesel engines

have a long service life allowing an older technology, higher?emitting engine to pollute for many

decades before it is replaced with a newer, cleaner engine. To address this gap, the Diesel Retrofit Law

was passed in 2005 to clean up emissions from certain on?road, diesel?powered motor vehicles and nonroad

vehicles/equipment through the use of retrofit emission control technology. The benefits of this

law and the subsequent regulations adopted by the NJDEP are a reduction of the harmful diesel exhaust

that NJ citizens are exposed to every day. The regulations require a variety of vehicles and equipment to

install retrofits by established deadlines at State expense. There is no cost to the owners of regulated

vehicles to install the Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART); the purchase and installation costs for

the retrofit technology are reimbursed by the State.

Pollution emitted by diesel fueled engines is a main contributor to the poor air quality found in today's society. Even with the stricter standards for today's heavy-duty diesel engines, many existing trucks and buses continue to emit harmful amounts of nitrogen oxides and diesel particulate matter which contributes to very serious health issues in North America.

Fortunately, with the advances in technology we are now able to produce devices to reduce the amount of pollutants which are an unwanted bi-product of older diesel fueled trucks and buses. Using pollution controlling devices such as a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) is an excellent example of a device that can be utilized to upgrade your diesel engine or "retrofit" it in order to pollute less.

What is a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst?

A Diesel Oxidation Catalyst or "DOC" is a device which utilizes a chemical process in order to break down pollutants from diesel engines in the exhaust stream, turning them into less harmful components. They are normally a honeycomb shaped configuration coated in a catalyst designed to trigger a chemical reaction to reduce particulate matter.

What are the benefits of a DOC retrofit?

DOC's reduce emissions of particulate matter by typically 20%-40%+. The AZ Purifier™ and Purimuffler™ can be combined with the ECS Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) system which increases verified PM reduction to 40% for all 1991 to 2004 Medium and Heavy Duty Highway engine applications compliant to a 5 or 4 g/hp-hr NOx standard.

AZ Purifier™

AZ Purimuffler™

AZ Purifiers and Purimufflers offer an industry leading, verified 20-40% PM (Particulate Matter) reduction* values depending upon on the application. Other manufactures offer only verified PM reduction* values of 20 to 26%. Our competitors claim to offer similar high levels of PM reduction, but only Engine Control Systems backs it up with actual EPA verification.

THE BEST DOC SOLUTION IN THE INDUSTRY, PERIOD! AZ Purifiers and Purimufflers employ an advanced zeolite containing washcoat and precious metal catalyst that afford superior low temperature performance

Can be combined with the ECS Closed Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) system which increases verified PM reduction to 40% for all 1991 to 2004 Medium and Heavy Duty Highway engine applications compliant to a 5 or 4 g/hp-hr NOx standard. (see section on ECS CCV)

With over 800 direct fit designs, ECS provides you with the most cost effective long term solution which you can feel good about.

Why would you buy less PM reduction from another manufacture? ECS AZ Purifiers and Purimufflers™ allow you to reduce more PM from more vehicles.

ECS also offers the DZ and EZ diesel oxidation catalyst supported on a metallic substrate which affords exceptional resistance to vibration and affords the lowest possible exhaust backpressure.
The DZ series was the first diesel purifier in the industry to feature quick release band clamps. This allows the center body to be readily removed for periodic engine-out opacity measurements or for purifier cleaning. These DZ purifiers are also available with modular add-on DMS and DMXS silencers.The EZ purifier offers the same metallic substrate based catalyst as the DZ purifier but in an all welded purifier to afford the most compact size and lower cost.

Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF)

A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a device designed to remove diesel particulate matter (DPM) or soot, from the exhaust of diesel engines. Diesel particulate filters can remove roughly 85% of the soot found in diesel emissions and can at times, depending on the filter and other equipment it is paired with can attain 100% soot removal efficiencies.

Diesel-powered vehicles which are equipped with a DPF emit no visible emissions from the exhaust pipe and far less harmful not only to the environment, but to the general health of those in the vicinity of the running vehicle.

Purifilter™ Passively Regenerating DPF

Our industry leadership doesn't stop with our DOC technology, the Purifilter™ was the first passively regenerating DPF to attain an industry leading 90% PM emissions reduction credit value*. Purifilters are more efficient as they are manufactured with Silicon Carbide substrates which offer superior filtration and durability compared to other DPF materials.The Purifilter employs a base and precious metal catalyst impregnated onto the silicon carbide DPF surface to passively oxidize accumulated particulate while complying with stringent California Air Resources Board (CARB) limits on NO2 emissions. The bottom line is that your investment in Purifilter™ delivers the most effective, durable and quiet solution to your environmental mandate

AMK Gatwick is approved by the Government appointed Vehicle Operator Services Agency (VOSA) and all MoT tests are completed by MoT testers nominated by VOSA. Now you can arrange an appointment online and have an MoT test completed up to one month before the expiry of your MoT. Why not service your car at AMK Gatwick at the same time as your MoT? With trained technicians, the latest diagnostic equipment, guaranteed parts and labour – why pay more elsewhere?

About MOTs

If your vehicle is 3 years or older you are required by law to have an annual safety check, the ministry of transport test, commonly known as the MoT Test. The purpose of the MoT test is to ensure the vehicle meets the minimum safety level required by law.

What should I do if my car fails an MOT?

If the vehicle fails its MOT, it does not meet legal requirements and must be repaired to comply with MOT Test standards. The notes on the back of the report your Nominated Tester gives you will help you.

If you think the Nominated Tester has been unfair you can appeal against the decision. Ask for a VT17 form that explains what to do.

To book your vehicle for an MOT, just click the "tab" and we'll call you back, or call us now on 01293 618306

This means each car is repaired with approved parts.

Air Conditioning

A good quality air conditioning system will last the lifetime of the vehicle, but will require regular maintenance.  Most manufacturers recommend it is serviced every two years.

Having your air conditioning system checked and serviced regularly, helps avoid unnecessary expense in the long term.

Vehicle air conditioning may deteriorate naturally by 10-15% per year. Vehicle air conditioning has serviceable components requiring regular maintenance. Moisture and contamination build up over time creating high pressure points and blockages. Fuel consumption increases. Expensive components wear prematurely. Leaks, if ignored, allow moisture to penetrate vital components.

HISTORY

The story begins in Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA during the summer of 1965. Fred DeLuca, an ambitious 17-year-old high school graduate, was looking for a way to make enough money to pay for his university tuition. The solution came at a BBQ during a conversation with a family friend, Dr. Peter Buck. Dr. Buck suggested to Fred that he open a submarine sandwich shop - having seen a sandwich shop in his hometown experience huge success.

With a $1,000 loan from Dr. Buck, the partnership was formed and Pete's Super Submarines opened in August 1965. The first year was a challenge and a learning experience for the young entrepreneurs. They opened their second location a year later and quickly realised that marketing and visibility were going to be key factors in the success of the business - the third outlet was in a highly visible location and it's still serving sandwiches today. The name was shortened from Pete's Super Submarines to SUBWAY® and the familiar bright yellow logo was introduced.

The next step was to formulate a business plan that outlined the SUBWAY® chain's goals. In an effort to reach those goals, SUBWAY® outlets began franchising, giving others the opportunity to succeed in their own business venture. The first SUBWAY® franchise opened in Connecticut in 1974.

The Department of Health Responsibility Deal and what we're doing
07 Sep 2011

The Department of Health Responsibility Deal and what we're doing

SUBWAY® Stores has been an active member of the Department of Health Food Network Group, and can confirm that it has registered as a Responsibility Deal Partner.

SUBWAY® Stores has specifically signed up to two Food Network pledges. Artificial trans fats were removed from all SUBWAY® products in 2009, therefore it has signed up to support this pledge. SUBWAY® Stores has already made significant progress in reducing salt content across our products and in April 2010, we announced an average 33% reduction across our product range. We have also signed up to the 2012 salt targets, which collectively will deliver a further 15% reduction on 2010 targets. We now offer consumers a choice of products with salt values that range from 0.8g salt to 3.6g salt per 6" serving.

It remains a priority to ensure the quality and taste of our products is maintained and we will use an ongoing programme of consumer tests to provide feedback on lower salt content products. SUBWAY® Stores recognises the importance of providing its customers with a great tasting sandwich and salad menu and allows them to create a balanced, healthy meal of their choice.

SUBWAY® stores are committed to providing nutrition information for its customers and this information has been available in its 1,500 stores across the UK and Ireland at the point of choice for almost two years. This information includes calories, salt, fat, saturated fat and sugar per 6" Sub. The information is displayed on the glass counter front in all stores as well as on the SUBWAY® website, www.subway.co.uk.

Whilst SUBWAY® Stores is supportive of the Government's pledge to introduce out-of-home calorie labelling, at this point, it is not able to sign up to the official calorie labelling pledge. This is because the pledge requires the calorie information to be displayed on menu panels. The queuing process in SUBWAY® stores differs from other QSR's, as in SUBWAY® stores there is just one service point meaning all customers follow a defined route as part of the queuing process.

However, SUBWAY® Stores supports the provision of nutrition information, especially calorie content in our stores and has the following existing strategy in place which takes account of the pledge:
"We are researching the most appropriate and valuable method of displaying calorie information for food and drink for our customers with a view to implementing this across our store estate."

SUBWAY® Stores is currently conducting a trial in stores to establish the most effective way of displaying calorie information in-store for our customers. Once the trial has been completed, we will review our position on providing calorie information in alternative locations within SUBWAY® stores

Homelessness ends here

Homelessness is an isolating and destructive experience and homeless people are some of the most vulnerable and socially excluded in our society.

Homelessness is a problem throughout the UK, although it is more prevalent in urban centres, especially in London.

Homelessness is about more than rooflessness. A home is not just a physical space, it also has a legal and social dimension. A home provides roots, identity, a sense of belonging and a place of emotional wellbeing. Homelessness is about the loss of these. Homelessness is costly to the individual, society and the state.

CitySprint is supporting the Haemophilia Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital and ChildrenPlus with their £100k cycle challenge, from London to Brighton on Sunday, 30th October

In our CEO's blog, read about issues facing e-retailers as they adapt to the increase in online shopping

In his recent blog Patrick Gallagher, CEO of CitySprint, discusses the challenges faced by online retailers to remain competitive as online shopping habits become the norm.

With the delivery experience being a key influencer for many shoppers in their choice of retailer, Patrick examines how these online retailers can set themselves apart through their delivery options.

CitySprint is providing a vehicle to recover all the cyclists bikes participating in the charity ride for road transport back to London following the 54 mile ride.

Both causes require vital funds- Haemophilia, a genetically inherited bleeding disorder, where essential clotting factors required for blood to clot normally are lacking, and ChildrenPlus, who support orphans and poor and disadvantaged families.

The Online Retail Roadblock

There are few things worse than wasting precious spare time organising, chasing and re-organising deliveries of online purchases. Chances are that you will miss the redelivery as well, a vicious circle indeed. In fact, it is such a negative experience that recent research commissioned by IMRG shows that over 43% of regular home shoppers view the delivery experience and delivery options as key influencers in their choice of retailer. This is further underlined by statistics from IMRG showing up to 60% online basket abandonment rates.

We have already experienced a significant shift in our shopping habits with online becoming the norm. This trend will continue unabated, but not without some challenges.

The traditional high street shopping format remains appealing but, in truth, convenience and cost are at the core of retail, and online shopping hits these sweet spots full on.

The one big roadblock is distribution.

An online retailer's distribution strategy is as important as the location of a shop is to a traditional retailer, for whom position on the high street is key to attracting as many potential customers as possible. But prime locations equal premium rents. As I see it, Utopia for online retailers must be to replicate the traditional model (but without the high rents).

An online shopping site that is easy to navigate and presents the products in the best possible light is essential. Add to this the convenience of delivery and I believe online retailers can really set themselves apart.

When I consider a SameDay delivery service that I launched in Manhattan in 2000 for Barnes & Noble, not much has changed over the years. Whether delivery convenience is slotted into timed windows or a same day service, cost remains the key obstacle.

The question is why?

Paying more than 10% of the purchase price of an order for delivery is a tough sell, but we have witnessed that retailers offering convenient delivery options often attract higher average basket values. Shoppers who are eager to receive their goods justify the delivery cost by consolidating their purchasing with retailers that can offer a wide range of products - think Amazon, Net-a-Porter and ASOS, to name a few.

Successful retailers will have considered carefully how they can keep up with demand especially in peak periods where purchase levels can increase five-fold on average volumes. This means having a suite of delivery options. There is no single distribution partner in the UK that can offer all of these choices so retailers need relationships with several distribution partners.

As I think back to 2000 again, I am reminded of the IT boom that spawned many virtual shopping sites. For every success, there were countless failures and the bricks and mortar retailers generally prevailed.

It seems we have now come full circle and the 'high street' has moved online. But to remain competitive, retailers need delivery convenience options that are efficient, reliable and robust.

 The Financial Times interviews a CitySprint healthcare courier about transporting transplant organs

Ravi Rajalingam, one of our specialised Healthcare couriers who is involved in the transportation of organs for transplants, was interviewed last week by FT Journalist, Michael Stothard, to help him understand what was involved in a typical day.

The article appeared in the Business Life section of the newspaper, in a special section called "The Job" on Monday 17th October, which features interesting and unusual careers. Ravi is passionate about being a medical courier and the fact that through his job, he helps to save lives.

In the article, Ravi describes how arriving at the hospital with an organ "can be quite emotional as the patient, their family and all the surgeons are just waiting for you to walk through the door"*.

CitySprint leads ASOS into the twilight zone

CitySprint, the UK's largest privately owned SameDay distribution company, has developed an innovative 'twilight' delivery service for leading online retailer, ASOS; allowing 'fashionistas' to place orders up to midnight and still receive home delivery the following day.

The service provides ASOS customers with much greater flexibility, enabling them to make the most of one of their key internet shopping windows - between 7.00pm and 11.00pm in the evening.

Orders received by midnight are collected by CitySprint from ASOS' central distribution centre and delivered as normal between 6.00pm and 9.00pm the next day.

Robert Muldoon, Customer Delivery Manager, ASOS comments: "We have developed a new shopping experience for our customers, which extends the time they can shop and still gives them the ability to receive their order the next day between 6pm and 9pm - seven days a week. This is the perfect solution for our customers who lead hectic lifestyles but also have a big appetite to shop. CitySprint's creative solution is really helping us make a difference, allowing us to compete with the high street's extended opening times."

ASOS introduced the new service to its customers in London first and has recently extended it to customers in Leeds and Manchester. Since the service was launched, delivery order volumes have doubled.
 
Bel Shergill, Retail Sector Manager, CitySprint adds: "We are delighted to be working with ASOS on this very exciting venture, which seems to have really captured the imagination of their customers. We saw a way to help ASOS extend the order window during peak online traffic time and ensure speedy delivery. It's a solution that appears to be working well. We're maintaining a 99% delivery success rate and have a dedicated support team to supplement ASOS' own customer relations team. Our respective IT systems and teams are fully integrated to ensure ASOS customers know exactly what's happening and when."

The twilight service costs £9.95. It will soon be extended further to customers in Liverpool and Nottingham.

CitySprint exhibits at this year's Biomedical Science Congress in Birmingham

CitySprint recently unveiled its new PathTrak pathology transportation system at this year's Biomedical Science Congress on 27th September, to bring healthcare professionals up to speed with the latest 'track and trace' system.

Attending the most successful Biomedical Congress to date, CitySprint's Healthcare Director, Andy Turner, hosted a special 30-minute seminar about PathTrak, which received a positive reaction from delegates. A drinks reception was also held later in the day to celebrate the 'official' launch of CitySprint's innovative service.

Over 3,500 delegates attended the three-day show, with around 1,000 visiting CitySprint's exhibition stand. The new PathTrak animation was a key feature of the display and caught the attention of many delegates.

Andy Turner, HealthCare Director comments, "We were delighted to attend this years IBMS event and present PathTrak to an array of healthcare professionals. It was a great opportunity to meet new and existing customers. We received positive feedback and strong interest in the new service from a number of delegates."

Over 200 of the delegates who visited the CitySprint exhibition stand entered a prize draw with the chance to win a trip to Paris with Eurostar. The winning delegate will be contacted soon.

PathTrak was developed by CitySprint to address the pathology and transport issue recently identified by the Royal College of Pathology as a weak link in the patient journey.

Read about pathology specimen transportation issues on our CEO's blog

Patrick Gallagher, CEO of CitySprint, has blogged about the issues that affect the transportation of pathology samples and how our innovative PathTrak service can improve the situation.

Every day thousands of blood and tissue samples are transported from hospitals and GP surgeries to laboratories as part of the NHS pathology service. Unfortunately, despite its scale and importance, pathology has been a major area of difficulty within the programme to modernise the NHS, with transportation highlighted as a key patient safety issue.

Patrick's blog examines many issues that are affecting the SameDay courier and logistics markets and issues relating to our customers across all sectors, including Healthcare, Retail and the Public Sector

Making a difference in healthcare

One of the most satisfying things about my job is developing products which make a genuine difference to peoples' lives. That's the case with PathTrak, a new service we've launched to help the NHS improve patient safety, and save money at the same time.

Every day thousands of blood and tissue samples are transported from hospitals and GP surgeries to laboratories as part of the NHS pathology service. These are essential investigations to assess disease and potential treatment – it's estimated that up to 80 per cent of all healthcare decisions affecting treatment use a pathology investigation. And it takes up about four per cent of the total NHS budget.

Unfortunately, despite its scale and importance, pathology has been a major area of difficulty within the programme to modernise the NHS, with transportation highlighted as a key patient safety issue. In fact, the National Patient Safety Agency highlighted transportation of samples as the single largest source of patient safety incidents in laboratory medicine. It seems unbelievable in 2011 that samples are sometimes transported alongside dirty laundry and not in dedicated vehicles.

In his comprehensive review of pathology services in England in 2006, Lord Carter of Coles called for better use of digital technology, including a recommendation for electronic end-to-end management of specimen samples to improve safety and security for patients.

PathTrak provides the same level of efficiency and security that we now take for granted in other 'high value' logistics situations. It uses a sophisticated GPS 'track and trace' system to reduce lost samples, streamline medical courier routes and deliver a more efficient flow of samples to the laboratory. Where we've piloted PathTrak with NHS customers, they've seen savings of up to 20 per cent in their pathology transport costs.

Andrew Turner, our Healthcare Director, will be presenting this new innovative service at Institute of Biomedical Science Congress on Tuesday 27th, in Hall 6 and discussing all of the issues involved in patient specimen transportation.

I know if it was my family depending on fast, efficient delivery of important medical tests, I would want the same level of care applied to the transport, as that delivered by the laboratory itself. I'm proud that we can make a contribution towards helping to modernise this important service and provide reassurance to both healthcare professionals and patients

CitySprint to attend the Institute of Biomedical Science Congress (IBMS) 2011

Patrick Gallagher, CEO of CitySprint launches blog

Patrick Gallagher, CEO of CitySprint, has launched a blog to examine issues that are affecting the SameDay courier and logistics markets and issues relating to our customers across all sectors, including Healthcare, Retail and the Public Sector.

His first post examines the Acquisition Trail. As a company who has already completed 3 acquisitions in 2011 so far and has a history of many others, Patrick discusses and further develops his key mantras for a successful acquisition.

The Acquisition Trail by Patrick Gallagher, Chief Executive of CitySprint

The acquisition trail is far from easy. There is a host of research which put the chances of a merger and acquisition success between 50 and 75 percent. Not great odds for the investment in money and time that can go into such business transactions. 

I personally believe that it is a true privilege to have the opportunity to acquire a business that is often the vendor's life-work. If there is ever a time when "business is personal" then this is it.

I have endeavoured to outline some of the core elements I view as key in ensuring a successful journey. Invariably, these will not be over-complicated but as always, it is the execution that can sometimes prove trickier...

The core asset that is acquired is the goodwill or put quite simply, the client base. This asset is acutely fragile, and if mishandled during the purchase process or subsequent implementation, will quickly evaporate resulting in diminishing returns for both the vendor and the acquirer. This needs to be the key focus area and requires high levels of confidentiality prior to purchase, with a heavy customer communication focus post-completion, by both the vendor and the acquirer. After all, in many cases, the vendor will have relationships with some of their clients that have often been developed over many years.

To minimise risks for the buyer, it is important that the targeted acquisition fits its business model. CitySprint focuses on businesses that are 'asset-light' with for example, short property lease agreements.  These integrate well into the CitySprint business model.

Culture is also a key consideration. Not so much in that the acquirer needs to quickly assert cultural control, but rather the acquirer is required to be flexible and dynamic enough to compliment the vendor's business. This is a significant component in the implementation, as the culture of the acquirer is not always necessarily the right one to get the best results.

Naturally the vendor's clients, staff and couriers sensitivity is high on the agenda and rightly so. This is why it is absolutely right to adopt an evolution not revolution approach.

No one business is the same but a real value-added bonus is uncovering quality staff to whom you can offer new opportunities and challenges. It is always a great disappointment when you are unable to achieve this dynamic and in my experience a decisive factor in your success.

This leads me onto the trust factor.

The vendor will experience one of the most stressful challenges associated with the business to date. This event will be a culmination of all the blood, sweat and tears that built the business.

Often the business is family run with employees and couriers having worked diligently with the vendors for years, and with some customers having become friends.  Compounding these emotions, will be personal or financial reasons for the sale. Dealing with this process pragmatically will demand that the acquirer works with the vendor in a professional and respectful manner, working out timeframes that fit both parties, and dealing with any concerns that arise responsively will provide assurance.  

A significant level of trust is required on both sides. 

I often get asked what I believe is the most important factor and my answer is always the same, experience.

It really makes a difference dealing with an acquirer who has successful record in this area, not just because they will be competent in guiding the process and being proactive about the inevitable challenges ahead, but also because they will have a reputation that will enable the seller to reference.

So, if you are planning to take this journey whether as a buyer or seller think very carefully. As an acquirer you need to have sufficient resource to undertake this effort without losing sight of your organic growth. As a seller, choose your acquirer wisely and be prepared to respond to a very intensive process that will require you to provide solid information to support your valuation expectations.

The acquisition trail is an interesting one but to date, I have yet to find the scenic route!

CitySprint wins 'Best Innovation' Award for it's retail delivery service

CitySprint has won a Best Business Award for 'Best Innovation' in relation to its Retail SameDay Courier service, which is currently changing the face of online retail by offering customers more control and flexibility over their deliveries.

CitySprint's unique national SameDay Delivery network can reach 80% of mainland UK within 60 minutes (source: Crimson & Co.) offering retailers advanced, transparent and flexible home delivery options including evening delivery solutions.

The Best Business Awards aim to highlight and reward excellence across the private and public sectors. For the 'Best Innovation' category, the Best Business Award judges were looking for organisations that have either identified new products or services and successfully brought them to market, or adapted an existing product for a new market.

CitySprint was able to meet the criteria for the 'Best Innovation' award because it has successfully adapted its traditional courier service offering for use in the retail sector.

CitySprint recognised the gap in the market for same day retail delivery and has invested considerable time and energy in the development of this solution which means it is the only courier partner able to offer such a comprehensive solution. CitySprint's Retail solution enables retailers to offer their customers flexible and innovative home delivery solutions, including SameDay and evening deliveries, 7 days a week (including bank holidays), for deliveries in and around major conurbations throughout the UK. CitySprint launched the service with online retailer ASOS.com and is now working with a number of other retailers, including  House Of Fraser, MyWardrobe.com and also Aurora Fashions, with their brands such as Karen Millen and Coast, who are all keen to offer their customers this leading edge delivery choice.

Many other courier and logistics companies have attempted to offer such a service to the retail industry but have, for a number of reasons, failed. CitySprint has been able to offer such a solution for a variety of reasons including its unique infrastructure of 31 ServiceCentres across the UK, expansive fleet of over 1600 couriers nationwide, investment in leading edge technology and dedicated retail support team.

CitySprint believes that its UK SameDay reach is second to none.  Crimson & Co, the UK's leading end-to-end supply chain consultancy, completed a complex analysis and has confirmed the following:

51.8% of the UK population is located within 30 minutes from CitySprint's ServiceCentres71.8%  of the UK population is located within 45 minutes from CitySprint's ServiceCentres81.3%  of the UK population is located within 60 minutes from CitySprint's ServiceCentres

Commenting on the 'Best Innovation' award to CitySprint, Andrew Areoff, Chairman of the Judges, said: "CitySprint is changing the face of online retail by significantly improving the service to customers with faster, more efficient delivery.  The company has done more than most to bring online retail fully up to speed with traditional High Street shopping by offering a service, seven days a week including bank holidays, for deliveries in and around major towns and cities.  By establishing an extensive distribution network and use of an innovative tracking system, CitySprint has succeeded where many others have previously failed.  The advances they have introduced are a great example of best innovation making a step change in service for customers."

CitySprint to take part in South of England Business to Business Exhibition 2011

CitySprint exhibited at Scotblood 2011 – the annual conference of the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service – at Stirling University on the 9th and 10th June.

Scotblood is one of the main events in the blood transfusion calendar and was attended by 355 delegates representing medical, scientific, technical, blood collection and administrative staff from transfusion centres and hospitals throughout Scotland and beyond.

CitySprint, which provides professional healthcare services including the transportation of blood for emergency transfusion, exhibited at the two-day event and discussed its range of services and the launch of its new bespoke secure GPS track and trace solution – PathTrak.
 
Eunice Simmons, CitySprint's Sales Manager for the Scottish region who attended the event, commented "The Scotblood event was a huge success and gave us an excellent platform to promote our healthcare services. There were a number of our current clients there who were pleased to meet us in person – they usually see our couriers collecting and delivering, but don't always  have the time in their busy schedules to meet the rest of the team.

Our new bespoke secure GPS track and trace solution PathTrak was also very well received by delegates. Both existing and potential clients were impressed with the transparency and secure chain of custody it offers and most of all, they were impressed that there is no additional charge for the service".

CitySprint's Healthcare couriers are on-hand 24 hours a day to provide emergency ad-hoc collections for finished product bloods for emergency transfusion. Each of CitySprint's couriers are GMP trained and will ensure that collections are delivered directly and securely, in person, to the required theatre or hospital blood bank. They will also ensure that patient bloods are being properly shipped, in compliance with the Blood Quality and Safety Regulations and meet the requirements of the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency's (MHRA) guidelines for the movement of finished product bloods.

CitySprint Healthcare presented at Focus 2011 – the Association for Clinical Biochemistry's National Meeting - on Thursday 26th May.

The presentation was focused on the subject of "Improving transparency and tracking of pathology samples" and discussed CitySprint Healthcare's new innovative track and trace solution - PathTrak.

The theme of the 2011 event, which took place from 23rd to 26th May at Harrogate International Centre, was 'Focus on Change', to reflect the changes that are anticipated in the way pathology services are delivered in the UK. The event was attended by key members of the scientific community.

Pathology services lie at the heart of the diagnostics services provided to patients. They are essential to the delivery of many of the national priorities and targets for the NHS. It is estimated that 70-80 percent of all healthcare decisions affecting diagnosis or treatment involve a pathology investigation and that pathology costs the NHS in the order of £2.5 billion a year, representing nearly 4 percent of total NHS expenditure . The secure and timely delivery of such samples is therefore of vital importance to the NHS in terms of patient care and cost.

Andrew Turner, CitySprint's Healthcare Director, was invited to speak at the event on the subject of "Improving transparency and tracking of pathology samples".

During his presentation, Andrew discussed the recommendations made by Lord Carter in his review of NHS pathology services in England for the Department of Health, which included:

The implementation of electronic system for end-to-end management of specimen logisticsA unique patient identifying number for samples

These measures would reduce the risk of mistaken identity and missing samples and the need to unnecessarily re-bleed patients. This would thereby improve sample tracking and improve workload demands, which in turn would smooth out the flow of samples into the testing laboratory.

Andrew then went on to discuss how CitySprint has addressed the recommendations in Lord Carter's report by developing and implementing a new bespoke secure GPS track and trace solution called PathTrak. PathTrak provides a comprehensive patient specimen / sample collection and delivery management service from GP surgeries or clinics to a Central Specimen Laboratory.

With PathTrak, once a job is received it is allocated to one of CitySprint's couriers and the details are sent to them on their handheld GPS device called a CityTrakker. Upon arrival at the collection point the courier uses his CityTrakker to scan the on-site location barcode, before scanning in the barcode of each individual sample. The courier then repeats this process at each collection process on route. When the courier arrives at the delivery destination, he scans the on-site location barcode, before scanning out each item.  Clients are able to log onto CitySprint's web based PathTrak dashboard at any time throughout the process and track each sample in real time.

The main benefit of PathTrak is that it eliminates the risk of samples getting lost in transit or being delivered to the wrong destination. This technology ensures that if an on-site location barcode and sample barcode do not match, upon collection or delivery, the error will be flagged immediately and the courier will be unable to continue until the error is rectified. In addition, the transparency that PathTrak provides means that there is a secure chain of custody from collection to delivery, therefore providing both the sender and receiver a 100% electronic chain of custody throughout the transportation process. It also enables those in the laboratory to see what samples are en route, thus enabling them to manage their workload more effectively.

Another key benefit of PathTrak is that it will help to drive down the costs associated with transporting the specimens across your GP and client sites.   It is estimated that PathTrak can reduce annual transportation costs by up-to 20%.

After the event Andrew commented, "Focus 2011 was a huge success. Delegates were impressed by our extensive experience and understanding of the sector, as well as our range of healthcare transportation services. Our new PathTrak solution, which ensures a secure chain of custody during the transportation of pathology samples, was well received by delegates and generated a lot of interest and we look forward to working with a number of those delegates who came to visit us".

CitySprint has made its third acquisition this year so far by acquiring Essex based courier company, Despatch UK.

CitySprint, the UK's largest privately owned SameDay distribution company, has made its third acquisition this year so far by acquiring Essex based courier company, Despatch UK.

CitySprint has been established in Brentwood, Essex since 1990 and the new acquisition will help further strengthen its presence in the region.

Brentwood based Despatch UK has been providing courier services within the Essex, Kent, Hertfordshire and Surrey regions for several years and serving both small local companies and large multi-nationals. From Friday 27th May 2011, Despatch UK will trade as CitySprint, operating from CitySprint's Brentwood ServiceCentre.

Mark Silvester, a Director of Despatch UK who will be working closely with CitySprint throughout the handover to ensure a smooth transition, explains:

"This acquisition brings a range of additional benefits to our customers with CitySprint's scale and investment in technology, which we have been unable to offer our clients."

Despatch UK customers will now benefit from a UK wide SameDay Courier service with improved collection and delivery times, made possible by CitySprint's unique national network of 31 ServiceCentres across the UK. In addition, they will benefit from CitySprint's continued investment in leading edge technologies and online quoting, booking and reporting facilities, which offer complete transparency".

Simon Kemplen, Operations Director for London and the M25 region, said: "CitySprint is very pleased to welcome Despatch UK, which will further strengthen our presence in this region".

CitySprint has been shortlisted for the 'Safe Vehicles' award at the 2011 Fleet Safety Forum Awards for Excellence.

The Fleet Safety Forum Awards are run by the Fleet Safety Forum - a division of the national road safety charity Brake. The prestigious and long-standing awards recognise the achievements of those working to help reduce the number of costly, and in many cases fatal, road crashes involving at-work drivers.

For the 'Safe Vehicles' award, judges are looking for the organisation that has implemented the most effective maintenance procedures and technology to improve the safety of its vehicles. In its submission for the award, CitySprint was able to clearly demonstrate this by providing details of its bespoke IT system called iFleet ,which enables CitySprint to automatically monitor and check important information such as MOT expiry dates and courier insurance documentation electronically to ensure that the safety of its fleet. In addition, the system enables CitySprint to communicate with its couriers and send them important information such as insurance reminders and training information.

Kevin Wong, CitySprint's National Fleet Support Manager comments "CitySprint's Fleet Department has benefited significantly from iFleet as it has greatly reduced the risk of uninsured vehicles without valid MOTs on the road due to the automation process. The system is able to produce reports that identify couriers that are in breach of any regulations which ultimately assists with cutting down on insurance issues/claims".

CitySprint is committed to protecting the safety of its couriers, clients and the general public and has developed and implemented a comprehensive road safety programme which encompasses a range of activities and initiatives. The programme ensures that its fleet is managed in the safest way possible and that the most effective road safety initiatives are researched, implemented, reviewed and updated, in order to ensure the safety of its couriers, clients and the general public at all times – the implementation of iFleet is yet further testament to this.

CitySprint's overall Road Safety programme was recognised last year when CitySprint was crowned winner of the 'Road Risk Manager of the Year' award in the Fleet Safety Forum Awards for Excellence.

CitySprint has donated £1,960 to The Royal British Legion as part of a donation scheme it launched at the end of 2009.

CitySprint is the UK's largest privately owned SameDay Distribution company and is the preferred supplier for the Ministry of Defence. For every job that CitySprint undertakes on behalf of the MoD, a donation is made to a selected Forces charity. Charities are selected on a quarterly basis with input from both the MoD and CitySprint.

The Royal British Legion provides welfare to the whole Armed Forces family - serving, ex-Service and their dependants. It also campaigns on a range of issues affecting Service people and runs the annual Poppy Appeal.

CitySprint's National Business Development Manager, Nigel Cattermole presented the donation to Graham Ferris, Regional Fundraising Manager for The Royal British Legion on Wednesday 13th April at CitySprint's London ServiceCentre.

Following the successful collaboration during Christmas 2010, the UK's largest privately owned SameDay Distribution company offers further support in 2011

In December, CitySprint, the UK's largest privately owned SameDay distribution company, donated two vans to Crisis, the charity which is dedicated to ending homelessness by delivering life-changing services and campaigning for change. These vans enabled them to make vital deliveries to the homeless over the Christmas period. Following the success of the project, CitySprint has extended the partnership and Crisis will be ustilising CitySprint's vans continuously throughout 2011.

Over the Christmas period, CitySprint's vans made over 300 journeys delivering emergency supplies and materials to Crisis' centres across London during the sub-zero temperatures. In January, it was agreed that Crisis would continue to use one of the CitySprint vans throughout the year and that the second van would be re-instated for the busy period in the Autumn, in preparation for Christmas 2011.

Throughout 2011, Crisis will use the CitySprint van to carry out an estimated twenty journeys a week to:
Collect donations for Crisis' ongoing 'Home Pack' project, whereby essential home making items such as small white goods, bedding, small furnishings etc are sourced for homeless people moving into their first independent accommodation Deliver Home Packs to these clientsHelp with Crisis' fundraising and awareness raising events such as the 'Square Mile Run'Collect ongoing donations and supplies for other services and departments within Crisis

The work of Crisis is vital as homelessness is still a very real issue in the UK. According to Government figures released in June 2010, 1250 people were sleeping rough on any given night in England ; a particular problem in London where it represents almost half of this figure. According to CHAIN (Combined Homeless and Information Network), 61% of rough sleepers are new and 27% have been rough sleeping for two or more years; 61% are aged between 25 and 45 years and many have one or more support needs, including alcohol, drugs and mental health issues.  However, regardless of their age, profile or story, there is no doubt that there is still a very real need for the support they receive via Crisis. Transport is a crucial element of ensuring this support reaches the people who need it most. Therefore the vans donated by CitySprint are a welcome and valued addition to the charity.

In addition to making the vital deliveries, the CitySprint vans – which are branded with the Crisis logo – are proving to be a striking and effective advertisement for the charity.

CitySprint, with a major ServiceCentre in Aberdeen, has started providing a SameDay delivery service for customers of Aberdeen based gift shop Athena Gifts.

Athena Gifts, which sells an array of high quality, handmade jewellery and gifts sourced from local suppliers, was set up in 2010 by local business woman Emma Crawford. The website launched in May 2010 and the shop - which is located on 49 Rose Street, Aberdeen, AB10 1UB – opened in November 2010 and since then Athena Gifts has gone from strength to strength.

Athena Gifts launched the SameDay delivery service in Scotland at the beginning of March and so far has had a positive response from customers.

Emma Crawford, owner of the gift shop, explains "I wanted to be able to offer my customers something different and wanted to stand out from the competition. I realised that a large number of my customers were those looking for a 'last minute' gift and, after discussing with CitySprint, decided that offering a SameDay service would make the process even easier for customers – especially local PAs tasked with sourcing a last minute birthday / leaving / thank you gift on behalf of the office!

With our SameDay service customers can simply call us, advise what their budget is and what they are looking for and / or the occasion and CitySprint will deliver the gift to them, beautifully gift wrapped, on the same day! We have received a positive response from customers so far as no other competitors currently offer this service, apart from florists.

I have been extremely impressed with CitySprint's professionalism, flexibility and cost-effective pricing which has enabled to me to offer this service to my customers".

CitySprint, which has operated a major ServiceCentre in Aberdeen since 1997 and offers SameDay Courier, SameDay Logistics, International & UK Overnight courier services, provides flexible and innovative home delivery solutions to both large national companies and small local companies 7 days a week, including bank holidays. CitySprint is currently working with a variety of national and local retailers who are keen to offer their customers this leading-edge delivery choice.

TnM Couriers Ltd was established in 2006 by Mat and Bobbie Nichols, providing dedicated SameDay Courier transport solutions to their customer base within the local Warrington area, and further afield across the UK. The company specialises in immediate same day shipments of pharmaceutical products but also provides a range of courier services to their clients.  Mat and Bobbie have grown their business over the years through providing a consistently high level of service to their customers, and developing good working relationships.

From Friday 15th April 2011 TnM Couriers Ltd will trade as CitySprint, operating from its existing location in Warrington. Mat Nichols and James Burrell will continue to manage the operations and a number of self-employed couriers, will move across from TnM Couriers to CitySprint to help ensure continuity of service for existing customers.

Mat Nichols explains their decision to work with CitySprint; "We have developed the TnM business to its full potential as a thriving and dynamic local courier provider and have been working very closely with CitySprint in recent years.  It is now the natural time to develop this relationship further so that the business can take on new challenges and grow further. I am really looking forward to being part of the CitySprint team and continuing to develop our customer offering."

Existing TnM Couriers customers will now benefit from the opportunity for a UK wide SameDay Courier service, made possible by CitySprint's unique national network.. CitySprint operates the largest GPS enabled SameDay fleet in Europe, which allows its customers to benefit from real-time information from collection through to delivery at the touch of a button, via the CitySprint website www.citysprint.co.uk. CitySprint's sector-leading OnLine services offer complete transparency by providing a live map location of the courier undertaking each job and real-time electronic PODs.

In addition to expanding its presence in the North-West, the deal enables CitySprint to compliment its organic growth with further strategic growth through acquisition SameDay Logistics Director, Darren Taylor, said: "CitySprint is very pleased to welcome TnM Couriers as part of the business. Extending our footprint and capability in the North West has always been our plan and will not only provide service benefits to our existing client base here but also assist in developing new opportunities in this strategically important area the country.

"Through both organic growth and acquisitions, we are continuing to build our extensive national network, which enables us to better serve our customers. We are focused on finding the best acquisition opportunities around the country"

CitySprint has been presented with a 'Reduction: Value' award by the leading FTSE 250 strategic outsourcing business MITIE.

The award was presented to CitySprint's Chief Executive, Patrick Gallagher, and Sales & Marketing Director, Justin Moore, on Wednesday 9th March 2011 at the inaugural MITIE Suppliers Forum.

he Suppliers Forum was part of MITIE's 'Diversity week' which took place between 7th and 11th March with the aim of raising awareness of sustainability and diversity issues. MITIE's CEO Ruby McGregor-Smith opened the event, with numerous other MITIE senior management and the company's top 150 key suppliers attending. The day included various workshops and presentations with a focus on supplier diversity, sustainability and working smarter together. The event culminated with the MITIE Supplier Awards where MITIE presented awards to suppliers across four categories – with CitySprint being presented with the 'Overall Winner – Reduction: Value ' award.

Lorraine Barnet(left hand side of the picture), Managing Director MITIE Business Services explains "CitySprint have proven to be deserving of this award. Through their open, straight forward approach in working collaboratively with MITIE to identify both efficiencies and service improvements they have demonstrated the value which can be achieved for our clients."

CitySprint, which offers SameDay Courier, SameDay Logistics, International & UK Overnight courier services, has been providing courier services to MITIE across the UK since 2004.

Last week, the team at CitySprint's Warwick ServiceCentre completed a 'CitySprint' cycle challenge in aid of Comic Relief and raised over £2,500 for the charity.

Between Monday 14th March and Friday 18th March, eleven team members from CitySprint's Warwick  ServiceCentre, ranging from nineteen years old to mid-forties, cycled 1523 miles between them – which is the equivalent of the distance between each of CitySprint's 31 ServiceCentres across the UK.  

As if that wasn't enough, because they completed the 1523 miles ahead of schedule, the team then went on to cycle an additional 195 miles on Friday afternoon to raise even more money!

Tracey Simpson, CitySprint's Warwick ServiceCentre Manager who thought of the idea explains, "We had been discussing ways to raise money for Comic Relief for some time and this seemed like the perfect challenge for us to sink our teeth into and have fun at the same time!

Over the course of the week we each took it in turns to cycle on an exercise bike for an hour at a time, with our red noses on, until we had covered the required distance. It was certainly a challenge – we even nicknamed ourselves 'team saddle sore' - but we were determined to complete the challenge in order to raise money for Comic Relief".

On Friday evening Martin Poole, CitySprint's Regional Manager - Midlands & Northern Regions, told BBC Radio Coventry and Warwickshire "The team have done very well. The original mileage was completed at around 11am this morning so they decided to cycle an additional 195 miles. It has been very difficult for them but they have had a good time doing it. With the cycling taking place between 7am and 6pm each day some have had to come in early and stay late but they have all done it with a smile on their face as it's for such a fantastic cause".

The team have raised over £2,500 with donations from family, friends, clients and suppliers. CitySprint whole-heartedly supported this initiative and has also sponsored the team.

CitySprint, the UK's largest SameDay distribution network, has the largest pushbike fleet in London, with over 70 bikes covering Central London, which made this challenge all the more appropriate!

CitySprint sponsored the Environmental Transport award at the Government Business Awards on Thursday 17th February at Twickenham Stadium.

Patrick Gallagher, Chief Executive of CitySprint, presented at the UK's first Home Delivery Conference which was organised by MetaPack in response to its successful user conferences in 2010.

Patrick Gallagher, Chief Executive of CitySprint, the UK's largest privately owned SameDay Distribution company, was invited to present at the Metapack Home Delivery Conference at Victoria Park Plaza Hotel, London. The event, which took place on Thursday 17th February 2011, was the UK's first Home Delivery Conference and was organised by MetaPack in response to its successful user conferences in 2010 where it became evident that retailers wanted an event focused on home delivery. At the event, which was free for retailers to attend, attendees were able to listen to presentations from industry partners, learn about new products and services and meet with their peers to discuss industry developments. The Conference provided useful advice for retailers interested in improving their despatch and delivery.

During Patrick's presentation, entitled 'Responding to consumer delivery demands', Patrick discussed how online consumer delivery demands are changing with over 43% of regular home shoppers stating that the delivery experience and delivery options could influence their choice of retailer.

Patrick went on to explain the challenges faced by retailers with regards to responding to consumer delivery demands - such as delivery convenience, delivery reach and technology intergration - and how CitySprint is well positioned to tackle these challenges head on and deliver customer satisfaction by providing flexible and convenient delivery options across the UK

CitySprint's initial offering to the retail sector, was launched in 2009 in partnership with online retailer ASOS.com. CitySprint's infrastructure allows retailers to offer a SameDay service and evening service, 7-days a week including Bank Holidays, for deliveries within and around major conurbations throughout the UK. CitySprint is currently working with a number of different retailers who are keen to offer their customers this leading-edge delivery choice.

CitySprint's unique national network, comprising of 31 wholly owned ServiceCentres and fleet of over 1600 couriers (who are uniformed, security checked and drive branded vehicles), is one of the key reasons it is able to offer such a viable service offering. During the presentation Patrick demonstrated this by explaining to attendees what their customer base reach would be with CitySprint:
30 minutes from CitySprint's ServiceCentres covers 49.9% of UK population45 minutes from CitySprint's ServiceCentres covers 65.1% of UK population60 minutes from CitySprint's ServiceCentres covers 84.3% of UK population

CitySprint's UK delivery footprint is vital in providing a scale of coverage for the retailer's clients, offering effective supply chain solutions with the ability to minimise delivery time windows by being in close proximity to distribution centres or store outlets.

Other key factors include CitySprint's investment in technology such as a recent upgrade of mobile data hand-held units that enable generic barcode scanning. This offers full chain of custody for the Retailers goods throughout the delivery process. The retailer can effectively utilise CitySprint as extension of their service offering.

WestOne Cars Latest News

WestOne Cars in the running for two environmental awards

September 2011WestOne Cars, a leading provider of private hire passenger car services, has been shortlisted for the prestigious 'Private Sector Fleet of the Year (250-500 vehicles)' award at the 2011 GreenFleet Awards and has also reached the second round of the Energy Saving Trust's Fleet Hero Awards in the 'Best Private Sector Fleet' category.

Both accomplishments are due to WestOne impressing judges from both awards with details of its comprehensive environmental programme which has successfully achieved a 4.7% reduction in C02 emissions over the past two years. 

The annual GreenFleet Awards, organised by GreenFleet magazine, recognise and reward pioneers from the public and private sectors for their efforts to reduce the environmental impact of their transport operations. For the 'Private Sector Fleet of the Year' category judges are looking for the UK private sector organisation with a fleet of more than 250 vehicles that can demonstrate a reduction in CO2 and other pollutants through fuel efficiency programmes, green fleet management and driver awareness training.  

The Fleet Hero Awards, organised by the Energy Saving Trust, aim to find the country's Fleet Heroes: organisations that have made a successful contribution to reducing their carbon footprint through their travel and transport policies over the last year; or have supplied products or services which help their customers reduce carbon emissions from their car and van fleets. For the 'Best Private Sector Fleet' category judges are looking for organisations that have implemented a broad range of measures across their fleet operations to help reduce emissions and improve efficiency. WestOne was easily able to meet the criteria for both of these awards by providing details of its ISO 14001:2004 accredited environmental programme which has been implemented internally and externally and includes:  

Green vehiclesUtilisation of fleet through GPS technology Green driver trainingEnvironmental analysis and reports for customersCarbon offset programmeInternal green best practice eg. recycling, electronic communications and 'green' purchasing

As a result of the measures it has taken, WestOne has successfully achieved a 4.7% reduction in C02 emissions over the past two years. The environmental programme is continually reviewed and updated and WestOne aims to reduce its carbon emissions by a further 8% in the next 12 months. WestOne recognises that its services have an impact on the environment and the scope, and success, of its environmental programme is testament to its commitment to minimise that impact.

The winners of the GreenFleet Awards will be announced at the official awards ceremony which takes place on Thursday 13th October at Twickenham Stadium. For the Fleet Hero Awards, WestOne has been invited to submit a more in depth submission which will then be judged and the award winners announced at an awards ceremony at the Institute of Directors in London on the 23rd November

 London Unrest Statement

August 2011While we will be doing our utmost to continue to provide a seamless service across our 24hr business spectrum; with areas across London being affected by the current unrest, our main emphasis will be on ensuring the safety and well being of our customers, drivers and staff.    

In order to achieve this we have been, and will continue to, monitor the ongoing situation throughout the day and most especially during the evening/night time periods when the threat to safety may be most extreme. 

Steps we are taking include: 

·The constant monitoring of news channels in order to keep abreast of any developing incidents.

·The monitoring and contacting of our own staff in order to ensure they will be able to get into the office/home safely:   

?          Booking cars to get them home

?         Checking safety of their travel links

?         Should we consider it necessary, they will be told to stay at home

?         Colleagues shifts  will be extended, to ensure coverage 

·Securing of our own building 

?         Dismantling of the entry-phone – manual access

?         Vehicles secure and off-street

?         Food ordered in  

·All trouble hot spots will continue to be communicated by Message Manager to all Drivers in order to ensure they avoid these areas altogether or take extra care should they find themselves in one of these vicinities.

·Control Team have been advised that no driver should be sent into an area where they and/or their passengers may be at risk (* without Senior Management approval – see below).

·Drivers to be reminded to remain at the destination until passengers have entered their premises – whenever this is appropriate, and possible.

·Both Advanced Bookings and As Soon As Possible Bookings will be constantly monitored and passengers/bookers will be kept aware of any delays or negative impacts to the service.

·Senior Management Team to be in contact with the Control Teams at all times, in order to remain aware and ensure that everything is running smoothly.

·Should there be a request for a booking that either starts or finishes within a recognised problem area, this will need to be approved by a member of the Senior Management Team.*

·In such cases, Control Assistants will take responsibility for ongoing communications with the driver throughout the journey – and until we are assured that driver and passengers have returned to a 'safe' area.

·Bookers will be advised of any known issues/potential impacts to the service at time of booking – and advised of any changes on an ongoing basis.

·Our cash service will be restricted and, if necessary, withdrawn. 

Further to all the above, we will continue to align our plans to those of our customers in order to ensure negative impacts to their door to door transportation plans remain minimal, in parallel to the safety of all our key stakeholders being paramount.

WestOne Cars Raise £5,930.37 for the Laura Crane Charity

July 2011WestOne Staff ran the London Bupa 10k in May 2011 for the Laura Crane Charity. A team of 11 members of staff completed the run and have raised just under £6k for the charity.

The Laura Crane Trust are WestOne Cars Nominated charity of the year. We will aim to raise awareness and donations for this Charity through various means throughout the year. "The Laura Crane Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to funding research specifically into cancers affecting 13-24 year-olds, where cancer can strike in dangerous and difficult forms, often necessitating very harsh regimes of treatment in an effort to save their lives. The trust also funds various measures to improve the lives of these young cancer patients whilst they are undergoing treatment."

WestOne Cars launches first of its kind stand-alone booking kiosk

July 2011WestOne Cars has launched a new stand-alone booking platform called 'The Kiosk'. The innovative, user-friendly, touch-screen podium can be installed anywhere, such as pubs, bars, restaurants, hotel foyers and even reception areas of businesses, and allows customers to make cash and/or credit card minicab bookings within minutes.

The first of its kind, computerised booking system is the brain child of WestOne Cars' managing director Amarjit Pall who took over the helm back in December 2010. The Kiosk has been developed in-house at WestOne Cars and operates seamlessly with their leading-edge booking and job allocation system. As such it is able to give accurate information to the customer regarding car arrival times.  

The Kiosk, which has been trialled for the past couple of months at an exclusive venue in London, has received a flow of positive feedback from customers and clients. Venues wishing to install the Kiosk simply have to contact WestOne Cars to discuss the simple set-up process.  

Once installed bookings can be taken immediately. The simple, step-by-step process requires customers to enter information such as drop-off address and contact number. The pick-up address automatically defaults to the venue location, but can be changed if necessary meaning that, for most bookings, only limited information needs to be entered. Once the customer has entered their journey details they will be provided with a booking reference. Details of this, as well as the car registration number and notification of its arrival are all sent to the customer via text message. 

Amarjit Pall said: "The Kiosk grew from an idea we had in the business about making it easy for customers to identify and book licensed minicabs but also for venues to be able to provide a simple and easy-to-manage option to their customers. Many venues we have spoken to say that they have a desire to be able to provide added value services to their clients but, in reality, being able to discuss travel options or book minicabs is not feasible, particularly on a busy weekend night. The Kiosk provides a win-win opportunity as venues can support their customers in this way without any additional work for themselves.  We have made it as simple as possible for venues to be able to utilise this booking option and, we hope, they will be keen to work with us to roll this out across the Capital." 

This initiative is the first of a series of planned launches for the passenger car brand which has undergone some radical changes over the past 6 months. The Kiosk is an integral part of its growth strategy with plans to install the innovative booking system in a significant number of venues over the next six months.  

In addition to the convenience benefits, being able to offer customers a safe and secure method of booking a private hire car supports the Mayor of London's 'war' on unlicensed minicabs. Whilst considerable progress has been made with over 1300 arrests being made in the year to May 2011 there is still a long way to go before London's streets are free from such traders.  

Amarjit Pall believes that whilst the powers that be have a clear obligation to tackle the issue the licensed operators also, themselves, have an important role to play. 

He said: "The reality is we can inform every one of the dangers of illegal minicabs. The majority will listen and regard themselves as sensible individuals who would never fall foul of such a mistake. However, after a night out, when you've perhaps had a drink, are tired and really want to get home the tout on the side of the road suddenly becomes an option we consider. We all suffer from the 'it won't happen to me' mentality. By raising the awareness of the licensed operators and making it far more easy and accessible to make bookings with such providers we also become an easy and convenient option. You don't have to find a number or even make a phone call. You simply press a few buttons from the venue you are at and wait in the safety of its surroundings until your car arrives. "

Border Agency Strike

June 2011Please be aware that the 'National Union of Teachers' and 'Border Agency' plan to stage a mass demonstration in London on Thursday 30th June.

The event will start at around 11.30am at Lincolns Inn WC2, where a march is planned ending with a rally at Storeys Gate SW1 scheduled for 17.00pm. This event is reported to be large in terms of numbers of participants and the knock on effects will be felt throughout that day and into the evening. The proposed route for the march is as follows; Sardinia Street > Kingsway > Aldwych > Strand > Trafalgar Square > Whitehall > Parliament Square > Great George Street > Storeys Gate for a rally. Please note that the whole route will be closed to traffic.

We expect significant disruption throughout central London during this time, roads will become congested and will lead to longer journey times. This will have a significant impact on our ability to collect and drop of passengers within central London and possibly greater London.

AIRPORT DISRUPTIONS 

We have been monitoring the news as regards the intended industrial action of the Border Agency. In light of our service commitment to all clients we are intending to offer the following service as an when industrial action commences: 

·Ensure we allocate a driver as per SLA on all collections from airports

·Call the client once the flight has landed to confirm he is in the passport control – (If we can not contact the client on the phone, they driver will be kept waiting until contact is made)

·Ask the passenger if he/she feels the queuing time is going to be greater than an hour

·If greater than 1 hour, we will re-book the car for the following hour, this will avoid any excessive waiting time charges

·We will have a person at terminal 3 on site to liaise with our control team

Our Operations team will do their utmost to try to ensure that vehicles are dispatched within the stated booked times. We would advise all travellers that they should allow extra time for their journeys on Thursday and to expect delays to their booking times. Additionally control department we will try to make Delay calls and update passengers where possible. On behalf of the company, we thank passengers in advance for their patience and understanding during this period.

April 2010WestOne Cars is offering stranded travellers and disappointed holidaymakers a lifeline by providing a number of alternative travel options while the current Icelandic volcanic ash chaos continues.

WestOne Cars is offering stranded travellers and disappointed holidaymakers a lifeline by providing a number of alternative travel options while the current Icelandic volcanic ash chaos continues. The passenger transport company, which holds the Royal Warrant, has been taking passengers from the UK to European destinations including Rome, Berlin and Valencia.

They are also working with their global network of partners to enable stranded travellers to get back to the UK. In addition to these more 'usual' jobs they have also provided a quote for a yacht as well as piston engine planes which are able to fly in these conditions.

Despite expectations that flights may well resume this week WestOne Cars expects to continue to support customers in this way for weeks to come. Even when flights do resume there will be a considerable backlog to clear as, according to travel agents association - Abta, 150,000 Britons are currently stranded abroad.

Andrew Bernard, Chief Executive of WestOne Cars comments;  "As a passenger transport company we have relationships with a number of transport providers. This combined with our 'think on our feet' attitude has enabled us to respond quickly to this situation and offer customers realistic alternatives"

Toyota Statement on Prius Braking Issue

February 2010The following statement was released by Toyota GB PLC.

Toyota GB PLC can confirm that there have been no reported problems in the UK or Europe with the braking performance of the current, third-generation Prius, since its launch in August 2009.

Toyota dealers in North America and Japan have notified Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) that they have received complaints related to brakes in the current-generation Prius. There have been no reports of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.

In their complaints, customers reported inconsistent brake feel when the brakes are slowly applied and the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is activated, when driving over potholes, bumps, or slippery road surfaces.

On the basis of the information provided, and Toyota's investigation into the reported problems, Toyota did not find that vehicle safety was compromised. However, Toyota will continue to investigate the issues one by one, including whether or not we regard this to be a safety issue.

Toyota made a change to the software in the ABS control on the current, third generation Prius in late January this year. This was done to alleviate a control-related phenomenon Toyota identified as the source of the problems reported by its customers.

This type of change during production is part of Toyota's strategy of making incremental improvements to its vehicles, to continue offering better quality vehicles to its customers.

Miguel Fonseca, Managing Director Toyota GB, said: "We can assure Prius owners that no safety issue has been identified with the braking system fitted to their cars, and that no problems have been reported by customers in the UK or Europe. With safety as our main concern, Toyota will continue to investigate thoroughly any problems that are reported."

Despite the economic climate WestOne Cars continues to strive forwards and achieve impressive growth rates. This is made possible due to the commitment of our excellent staff and drivers; just a handful of whom have been recognised here today.

WestOne Cars Increases it's Environmentally Friendly Fleet

October 2009New third generation Toyota Prius introduced to fleet to reduce carbon footprint and give clients further 'green' options

The new third generation Toyota Prius

WestOne Cars, a leading provider of private hire passenger car services offering Environmentally Friendly services and a portfolio of other passenger car services on a 24/7 basis, has increased its number of environmentally friendly vehicles by introducing the third generation Toyota Prius to its fleet.

The third generation Prius, which was launched in August 2009, uses Toyota's improved Hybrid Synergy Drive system; a combination of an electric motor and a petrol engine. It has got a fifth more power and is 10% more economical than the previous Prius. With a combined fuel consumption figure of 72.4 mpg and C02 output of just 89 g/km it is the top eco saloon car on the market and is the best in its class offering WestOne Cars' clients an environmentally friendly passenger car option without having to compromise on comfort or quality.

WestOne Cars, which is the only UK passenger car company to hold the Royal Warrant for the provision of chauffeur services, has operated in the private hire industry for over 30 years and in this time has built a reputation for consistently providing high standards of service and quality. WestOne Cars recognises that the provision of its passenger car services have an impact on the environment and, as a result, has implemented a comprehensive environmental programme which includes offering clients environmentally friendly vehicle options for their passenger car journeys. 

WestOne Cars continuously looks for new vehicles which are environmentally friendly and commercially viable and, as a non-asset owning company, is able to introduce new environmentally friendly vehicles into its fleet the moment they become available. So far in 2009 WestOne Cars' environmentally friendly fleet has increased from 5% to 30% and is on target to reach 50% by the end of the year.

WestOne Cars environmental programme, which has been accredited with the internationally recognised ISO 14001:2004 - Environmental Management System (EMS), also includes the use of GPS technology to utilise its fleet and allocate the nearest driver to each job to reduce wasted mileage and a thorough fuel efficient driving training programme for all drivers. WestOne Cars has also taken its programme one step further by offering clients the opportunity to assess and reduce their own carbon footprint through the use of carbon reports and carbon audits which identify the C02 emissions produced by clients current passenger car journeys and how by selecting alternative vehicles, such as the Toyota Prius, and consolidating journeys they can significantly reduce carbon emissions.

WestOne Cars Launches New Website

September 2009WestOne Cars has launched its new look, user friendly website

WestOne Cars, a leading provider of private hire passenger car services offering Executive, Corporate, Environmentally Friendly, Events and Airport services on a 24/7 basis, has launched its new look, user friendly website www.westonecars.co.uk

WestOne Cars is committed to the use of leading edge technologies which have the benefit of increasing productivity and improving levels of customer service and the new website is an extension of that commitment.

The new website reflects WestOne Cars new look and feel and houses enhanced company and service information. Through the new improved website clients can find out all about WestOne Cars and its services, book passenger car jobs, view time stamped job audits and access account activity reports that contain comprehensive information on the passenger car journeys that have been booked.

The website also offers clients complete transparency by enabling them to keep track of the passenger car they have booked via WestOne Cars GPS enabled passenger car tracking system CarLocator. CarLocator enables WestOne Cars clients to view a real time map location of the passenger car allocated to their journey before collection and up until drop off. This information can be viewed by the passenger, enabling them to get to the pick up point in time. The information can also be used by support staff enabling them to be fully informed of journeys that they have booked on behalf of colleagues. This means that WestOne Cars clients will never be told that their passenger car is around the corner unless it really is!

The Fleet Safety Forum Awards, which are held in aid of the road safety charity Brake, recognise excellence in road risk management and bring together people across the motor industry who are passionate about stopping death and injury on roads through risk management. WestOne Cars was highly commended in the 'Road Risk Manager' category after demonstrating exemplary road risk management policies with proven results.

Adhering to the 12 point 'pledge to drive safely' by Brake New vehicles and regular vehicle safety checks Highest quality drivers - strict selection process Ongoing driver training Monitoring of vehicle usage and operating times Detailed reporting tools to identify persistent accident offenders

Am Pall, WestOne Cars Fleet & Specialist Services Director, explains "We are committed to protecting the safety of our drivers and our passengers.  For our drivers the road is their office, they are heavy road users and come into contact with a large number of other drivers. Road safety is, and always has, been of paramount importance to WestOne Cars and we do everything we can to keep up to date with the latest developments and initiatives in road safety and we continually monitor, review and update our road safety programme to ensure the safety of our drivers, passengers and the general public".

Roz Cumming, Fleet Safety Forum Manager at Brake said: "The Fleet Safety Forum Awards for Excellence 2009 was a great success. Organisations setting the standards for fleet safety were recognised for their achievements. Brake congratulates all of the winners on their well-deserved awards. It's fantastic to be able to recognise companies that are helping to driving down crash and casualty rates by constantly striving to raise the bar of fleet safety best practice."

it would be the story of an audacious initiativeLe Mans Classic is born in 2002 from what can be considered an adventurous idea! Retracing, over a week-end, half a century of the 24 Hours of Le Mans history, life-size, such as a gigantic living fresco, was quite a challenge! Not many believed in the feasibility of such an enormous project...

But when one fulfils the dreams of millions of enthusiasts, that of going back in time to relive the legend, rediscover emblematic figures and their legendary cars; and if the initiators are the Automobile Club de l'Ouest, founder and organiser of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Peter Auto founder and promoter of many classic events; the initiative seems less hazardous...

The instant success of the event gathered over 30,000 spectators the first year and nearly 100,000 in 2010; proof that the passion of motor sports allows daring and that in the name of pleasure and emotion, this is what is needed.

Keeping up the tradition, Le Mans Classic is getting ready to mix dream and real life for the sixth time and continue surprising all generations.

The straight Line

... and not any one, the Hunaudières, the most famous straight stretch in the world which has kept all its magic since the first "24 Hours" in 1923 and the legendary Le Mans style start are definitely the Le Mans Classic's winning combination.

Six grids, hosting cars, or the sister car, which have already competed in this unique race between 1923 and 1979, which follow each other three times on the track –day& night-, meaning eighteen, or nearly, Le Mans-style starts.
Grid 1 (1923/1939) - Grid 2 (1949/1956) - Grid 3 (1957/1961)
Grid 4 (1962/1965) - Grid 5 (1966/1971) - Grid 6 (1972/1979)

There are two major conditions to reach the eagerly converted layout...
Having an FIA International Competition licence;
Owning -or sharing- an eligible car, o, or model of same type, having raced in the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 1923 and 1979.

Actually, since endurance is a men and endurance affair, the Le Mans Classic general victory will be awarded to a team made of one car in each grid.

For historical and security reasons, the cars are divided, according to their period, into six grids (groups)

A trendy list...

...all the cars entered in the competition must be one of those –or the same model- having raced in the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 1923 and 1979. However, the range is vast: no less than 612 models of 166 brands are listed.

But beware, any change of engine, brakes or all other makeshift repairs can make a car ineligible. This is why the Le Mans Classic grids remain exceptional for the participants' and public's delight.

The date shown beside the models in the list is that of the participation of the car in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Identical models built during another year are obviously accepted.

Those were the days...

These Old Ladies are still going strong! But exercising along the track for 24 hours could be damaging to their health!

Thus, for historical and security reasons, they are divided into grids according to their period. Indeed a car built in 1923 cannot share the racetrack, without danger and any chance to win, with one born in 1979.

Thus, they are divided for historical and security reasons into grids according to their period. The groups formed follow each other on the track to provide night and day racing for both the cars and the drivers.

Each grid – representing a period illustrated by the victory or domination of a brand- will leave the paddock three times to tell the story of its history at Le Mans.

All for one, one for six

Thus, the Le Mans Classic winner is not a car but a team. Indeed, as for the 24 Hours, victory awards the work achieved for 24 hours by the whole team. This results in an intensive and exceptional atmosphere all night long.

L'un des résultats en est la même ambiance nocturne intense et exceptionnelle que pendant la course moderne.

The principle is easy to understand. The team has to be made up of one car from each grid, meaning six crews. The track allowing 65 cars in competition is full up, leading to 65 teams. The drivers, who now know each other, get organised by themselves, sometimes with the Organisers' back up if required.

As a result, the finish of each round is considered as an intermediate classification only.

Clubs forever!

No other automobile event in France, and maybe worldwide, reunites as many classic cars in the same place. Le Mans Classic's Club Enclosure has become "the" meeting that no European Car Make Club would miss.

As this automobile celebration is for all car lovers, Le Mans Classic also welcomes Multi-brand car Clubs and Private Owners in a dedicated Collector's Enclosure.

An integral part of this retrospective, some 8,000 cars tell the public the story of automobile in the world, through more than one hundred clubs and about fifty makes ... However, to join this ephemeral museum, the cars must satisfy certain conditions.

Some of these beauties leave their fold for a spin on the track. Along with those who remain nicely put, they compete in the Club contest, patronized by the F.I.V.A and F.F.V.E federations, on one of the proposed themes.

The club of clubs, the most select of all, remains without doubt the Le Mans Heritage Club. Housed in the heart of the village, it gathers 24 cars having raced in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the past.

A visit to this gigantic automobile art gallery is a must!

Let the yougsters drive!

A childhood dream for many adults became reality for the 80 children who moved and amused spectators who wouldn't have missed the budding drivers Le Mans style start for anything.

From the track side, children from all over the world ran and jumped into their ½ scale racing cars. The parade for its second edition has certainly aroused vocations... Gentlemen, the relief is assured!

The village show is on

There is always something happening in the Le Mans Classic village.

Rallying point for those who have chosen the "Privilege Package", place of departure for a vintage bus run, or a helicopter flight over the track, all sorts of parades, boutiques, musical activities, the Le Mans Heritage Club and Supercars exhibitions; in  other words, the perfect meeting place and definitely the place to see and to be seen!

The Welcome: Le Mans Classic VIP Club

The village is the rallying point for the spectators who have chosen the "Privilege Package" where they will enjoy first class view on the track and peaceful hospitality.

The exhibitors: Automobilia dream

Boutiques and marquees housing some hundred professionals presenting their latest works, publications, automobile antiques and other rarities... Beyond the shadow of doubt, the automobile amateur's dream!

The exhibitions: Queens from yesterday and for tomorrow

Le Mans Heritage Club: the patrimony
This Club of all Clubs, with its lawn and white fences, could only put on its show in the heart of the village, star status obliges!

The Supercar Enclosure: history future...
Because they are future jewels of tomorrow's classic collection cars, the Le Mans Classic village opens its doors to... 24 Supercars!

The manufacturers
There are also the brand new ...brands of the manufacturers who take this opportunity to launch their new models

Go along...

The paddocks and village are only accessible for a limited number of classic cars as the big crowd makes driving difficult.

The best way to visit the various activities is on foot but it is sometimes handy to catch a ride ...

Le Mans Classic provides mini trains and vintage buses (also used for track laps) which allow the public to reach the various areas of the circuit.

For those who want a general view, it is also possible to fly over the track in a helicopter

Welcome to the Medias!

Since 2002, a large part of the Le Mans Classic success is due to the excellent reception given by the press worldwide. Thanks to its unique format and the quality of the show on offer, the race has charmed a large panel of Medias. Specialised, of course, possessing the knowledge to present the exceptional grid and the developments on the track, but also general, won over by this big popular event which, after five editions, has become one of the world's greatest automobile meetings.

Since 2002, Le Mans Classic has done everything possible to welcome journalists, photographers and TV crews in the very best conditions. Our press department is available all year long to answer their questions and prepare their visit to the event. On the spot, it welcomes them from the Thursday before the meeting in the press room available for them during the whole week-end, including – 24 H race obliges – during the night from Saturday to Sunday. Our teams always do their utmost to help them do their work – access facilities, interviews with the drivers, organisers or partners, guided visits of the paddocks, clubs and Village – as we are eager to pass on our passion.

The Gatwick Belmont hotel, in Horley, Surrey, was originally built in 1901 by a local doctor for his family home, it was named Mena House and then many years later it was changed to a Guest House by Mr Gucci. Being in such close proximity to Gatwick Airport it soon turned in to a thriving business, in 1996 Kevin & Kathleen Hagerty purchased Belmont House with 7 letting bedrooms . Due to the increasing demand for bed and breakfast in the Gatwick area, they soon asked their son, Gary, to help run the hotel. The guest house became increasingly popular and was extended 4 times expanding the hotel to 18 bedrooms and a bar restaurant.

We pride ourselves in being that little bit different to most of our competitors not only because we are family run and add that personal touch of one on one customer service. Our rooms are not all the exact same unlike some bigger Gatwick chain hotels again we like to put a personal touch on each and every room. We also cater for things that others don't such as we have two rooms for holding functions, an English style pub restaurant and the option of Standard or en-suite rooms.

The name of the hotel was changed from Belmont House to Gatwick Belmont and is a registered company in the UK under Gatwick Belmont Ltd.

The Gatwick hotel employs a team of 15 staff to cover the various shifts that make up 24 hours a day 7 days a week. All members of staff are trained in various aspects of the Gatwick guest house's operation to help Gatwick Belmont run as smoothly as possible. We pride ourselves on a friendly, professional service and our staff are always on hand to help with any requests you may have.

"Your hotel staff is wonderful and so friendly. The young man who picked us up from Gatwick airport was so nice! As we arrived right in time for dinner, it was nice to have a place to have a meal right where we were staying. Our dinner was served quickly and it was piping hot and very tasty. The Pub was fun and we really enjoyed talking with all the happy guests also staying at your hotel. The Town of Horley where your hotel is located is lovely. We felt very safe walking into town in the evening. It is a very short stroll into town and you can walk to the train station to get the train to London - very convenient. Your morning breakfasts were greatly appreciated. We enjoyed our stay so much that we discussed coming back to London soon and again staying at the Gatwick Belmont hotel. Thank you for such a pleasant time." (97014491)

Your close location to LGW Gatwick Airport is so convenient! Being picked up by your hotel transfer staff helped to take the stress out of the whole airport process.

We needed a nights accommodation before flying out of Gatwick at 6am and this guest house was a good place to stay. The location was really good also.

Convenient for Gatwick, helpful and prompt pickup and drop-off service. Handy for Horley Station to travel into London.
- 21-Nov-2007

I consider this to be a very lucky find. The room and especially the bed were most comfortable. The Traditional English Roast beef & trimmings were also a nice treat which helped put me in the mood to face that long transatlantic journey. I hope to return again soon.

Family History

The Hagerty family became interested in buying a bed and breakfast close to Gatwick Airport due to their friendship with Graham and Rosie Everett who owned Gainsborough Lodge Guest House which is located just across the road.

They had run Gainsborough Lodge for a number of years and when another Gatwick B & B came up for sale The Castle Lodge Gatwick, Graham put the owner in touch with the Hagerty family, the whole purchase process began and things were moving forward. But as is often the case with the UK property system the owners of the Castle Lodge Gazumped or pulled out on the final day and final hour which left the Hagerty family after selling there own family home no where to live and forced to rent a flat.

As is the case with many things in life luck was on there side, within weeks another property went up for sale – this time, The Gatwick Belmont Hotel – and everything went to plan. Soon after the purchase completed the expansion started to turn a small guest house in to an independent Gatwick hotel and 11 years later this is what we have.

What type of customers stay at Gatwick Belmont Bed and Breakfast

There are numerous reasons why customers stay in the Gatwick Airport (LGW) area - of course most of it is related to flying, many people book worldwide flights that only fly from Gatwick and not their local airports, so people have to drive from Cornwall, Devon, South Wales, Midlands or even from the North of England. Many customers even a lot closer will drive up the night before to avoid the risk of getting stuck in traffic and missing there flight also people from the Channel Islands who cant risk a connecting flight will stay the night in Gatwick.

Business travellers, people working or training in the area also find our Gatwick bed and breakfast accommodation rates very competitive while having to stay away from home and the cosy atmosphere creates a home from home feeling.

We also have a lot of big groups of charity workers using this as a convenient and budget hotel with many good links to get around the UK and in fact the rest of the world.

Also families and/or large groups of friends find us convenient because whilst being plenty big enough to cater for large groups, we are not a multi floor hotel making there stay more personal and the group not being split up.

Testimonials

Miss Potter from Brastead

Our house is a 16 Century Cottage with wooden floors throughout the lounge, kitchen and bathroom. Having a toddler running around the place, food being thrown over the highchair, and toy cars scraped across the woodwork,  had all left the kitchen floor in desperate need of a revamp. We employed Healey Flooring to level the floor, sand and polish. As we were going to be on holiday for a few weeks, we left keys with a neighbour. Upon our return the work had been completed.  The floor was immaculate and clearly finished to an exemplary standard. We couldn't believe the difference. Healey Flooring had even tidied up so there was no mess left behind which is such a refreshing change.  Next job will be the bathroom and we will definitely be contacting Healey Flooring to provide the finishing touches.

Frank Brown Delivers prides itself on offering a personal and friendly service to our customers. It's only fair, therefore, that we tell you a little bit about ourselves.

Frank Brown

I was brought up and educated in Alton, Hampshire before moving to Surrey at the age of 17. Between 1981 and 2004 I worked for a courier company in the Croydon area, eventually becoming a director of the company. It was during my time there that I met Gill (see below) and we married in 1994.

In 2004 I decided to start my own courier business, Frank Brown Delivers. I have always had very exacting standards and I don't believe in cutting corners at the expense of a job well done. I have always believed that this philosophy will bring its own success.

My main leisure activities are golf (which I play very badly), snooker (which I play a bit better) and Southampton football club (someone has to support them!). I also belong to an amateur dramatic society and have taken part in three productions over the last three years - including playing Pop Larkin in a production of "The Darling Buds of May". This was great fun. Look out David Jason!

Gill Brown

Frank and I met some seventeen years ago at a courier company and it could be said that our lives are inextricably linked to the courier industry. That's another story, however, which may become the subject of one of my blog posts one of these days! Otherwise, my background is in admin and accounts and for eighteen years I worked in the intriguing world of puzzle magazine publishing.

Most recently, I returned to night school to study Sage computerised accounting and was delighted to be awarded first class passes in levels 1 to 3.

We share our home with Poppy, our cat, and Che & Fidel, two rescued rabbits who just happen to be sisters - another long story!

A New Partnership

As many of you know we entered into a working partnership with Wallington Cars & Couriers back in March. So far this has been an extremely successful move. We are now able to offer much better rates to many destinations, particularly London Postcodes. We are also able to offer a much wider variety of vehicle, often at very short notice, and it seems that this is becoming rapidly very popular with our clients. We are now being asked to quote for lorries as well as large vans such as Mercedes Sprinters and Luton Tail-Lifts.

Another change is the much better rate for Overnight deliveries – prices starting from just £7.95 + VAT for next working day delivery in most of the UK. Have a look at our Overnight pricelist on the website for more details.

We can also tap into the 24 hour service which Wallington Cars & Couriers offer. If you regularly need vehicles during the night let us know and we can provide you with a 24 hour telephone number to call out of hours.

If you have any queries about anything please give us a ring – we hope that you will find this new partnership as exciting and rewarding as we do.

Make a day of it

Have you ever thought about using a courier for the day? If you have several deliveries in the same area (brochures for example) then why not talk to us about a day rate? This can often prove much cheaper than you think and can be a very cost effective way of getting your goods to your customers quickly and efficiently. Give us a ring for a price!

London Congestion Charge

From Tuesday 4th January 2011 the London Congestion Charge Zone is being made smaller but the charge for the remainder is increasing. The postcodes that will no longer have the congestion charge applied to them are London W2, W8, W10, W11, SW3 and SW7. All the other postcodes that are in the congestion zone will be charged at £9 instead of the previous £8. If you have any queries about this then please do not hesitate to contact us.

Local Radio

Do you ever listen to local radio? I didn't until quite recently and I have to say that I never realised just how essential it is. We listen to BBC Radio Surrey in the office and the traffic and travel updates are brilliant. All the websites that you can visit seem to suffer from the same problem – they aren't kept updated frequently enough. Yesterday I was looking on National Rail Enquiries website in the morning to see if there were any trains from Nutfield to Redhill and it all seemed fairly normal. However Radio Surrey said that there were no trains running on the Tonbridge Line at all yesterday morning and they were absolutely correct. So tune your radio to 104FM or 104.6FM and keep yourself well informed.

What van do you need?

If you're unsure what vehicle you need then why not ask our advice? As long as you have a rough idea of the dimensions and weight we can sort out what size of vehicle you need. For instance one of our customers had a couple of large crates to transport which would have been very difficult to lift – so we sorted out a Luton Transit with a tail lift and a pallet truck on board. That way we saved everybody from needing a chiropractor! We have a variety of different sized vehicles to call upon at quite short notice – when we haven't got the right sized van on our own fleet.

Tweet Tweet

Ever wondered what Twitter was all about? Well I bit the bullet earlier this week and had a look. In fact more than that, I'm now a Tweeter. Why not follow me on Twitter and give me some regular feedback? My twitter name is FrankBrownDeliv – yes there weren't enough spaces but I guess you'll know who I am! If any of you are experienced Tweeters and want to pass on your advice and experience then I'd be very grateful. It's like another language to me at the moment. Who knows I might even look at Facebook one day!

Chilean miners

Isn't it wonderful to have a leading news item which has a happy ending? The story of the 33 miners in Chile has touched the hearts of the world and it certainly brought a tear to my eyes watching the news last night. Congratulations to all who were involved with the dramatic rescue mission.

A good day's work

Something we have done at this time of year is to deliver prospectuses for local colleges and this has made me realise that we can offer a similar service to other clients. Do you have several deliveries going out at the same time? Maybe towards Christmas (sorry I know I shouldn't use that word when we're still only in September!) you might want to drop calendars or gifts to your regular clients. If the deliveries are all quite close to each other then we might be able to compete very favourably with the Royal Mail or whatever other method you might usually use. We can charge you a daily rate – with prices starting at just £160 + VAT based on an eight hour day and delivery points being within a 15 mile radius of your location (London postcodes excluded). Our drivers are all very experienced and have a good knowledge of the local area so they are able to get a good many deliveries done in a day. Why not give us a call and ask the question? You might be pleasantly surprised at how little it could cost.

Book in advance

Did you know there are great advantages to booking your courier early? An example of this happened just last week. One of our clients needed to get some goods over to Ireland urgently. Because the goods had to be over there for the next working day we were unable to get the best deals from our international shippers and as a result the cost was too great for our clients. If we had been given two or three days then we could have got a much better price, possibly as much as 50% cheaper. Another example is actually the reverse of this. Another of our clients needed to get some goods back from Manchester and told us at the beginning of the week in case we had another trip going that way. As it happened we had a trip to Redditch a couple of days later (which took us well on the way) and we were able to offer our clients a much reduced price for the Manchester journey.

We appreciate that one of the main reasons why people use a courier is because their goods are urgent. However there are many occasions where events are known about well in advance and transport can be organised beforehand and a great deal of money saved! So the moral of the story is – if you know you're going to need a courier let us know as soon as possible and we can start looking at the various options in order to save you money. And don't forget we still offer our Economy Document Service to Central London from just £30 + VAT with no congestion charge!

Back to Uni

Are you or your youngsters busy preparing to go back to university? Are you wondering how to get all the stuff in the car or on the train? What about using an overnight courier to send your belongings? As long as everything is securely packaged and well labelled then this can be quite a cheap option. With prices starting at just £12 + VAT for up to 20kgs for next day delivery we feel this is a very viable alternative. There needs to be someone around all day to sign for the delivery but otherwise there are no strings attached (except of course for the ones keeping everything tied securely!). In fact for just £3 more (+VAT) the delivery can be made before midday so freeing up the afternoon to locate the local pubs and clubs (an essential part of university life so I'm led to believe!)

Alternatively perhaps there are a few of you locally going to universities all in the same general direction. What about clubbing together and paying for a van + driver to take all the goods up there directly. This might cost less than you think. Give us a call and we'll be glad to help.

(NASDAQ: CDTI) ("Clean Diesel"), a cleantech emissions reduction company, announced today its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The highlights are as follows:

Total third quarter 2011 revenue was $15.0 million, up 36.9% compared to the same period in the prior year.Third quarter 2011 revenue for Clean Diesel's Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division increased $4.2 million, or 59.2% compared to the same period in the prior year.Gross margin was 28.5% for the third quarter of 2011 compared to 23.1% for the same period in the prior year.

"We are very pleased with our solid overall performance in the third quarter; total revenue grew more than 36%," said Charles F. Call, Chief Executive Officer of Clean Diesel. "Sales in our Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division surged 59% over the prior year quarter. This was led by strong sales in the London Low Emission Zone, North America retrofit market and the European mining sector. Meanwhile, external sales for our Catalyst division were essentially flat when compared to the prior-year quarter; however, intercompany catalyst sales increased substantially, which improves our gross margins.

"Our 28.5% gross margin percentage was a significant improvement over the third quarter of 2010. This increase in gross margin from the prior year third quarter was primarily the result of improved product mix and higher intercompany catalyst sales. In general, we anticipate modest sequential improvement in our gross margin percentage as sales improve.

"Our Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division is having a great year in 2011. In addition, we expect growth in 2012 due to the anticipated ramp up of sales in California. That's why we have been making strategic investments in our business, including expanded product verification, supplier accreditation and enhanced technical and sales capabilities, to position Clean Diesel for continued success throughout and well beyond 2012. And while expanding our investment in sales and technology resources remains a priority, we will continue to carefully manage operating expenses."

Third Quarter 2011 vs. Third Quarter 2010

The October 15, 2010 business combination with Catalytic Solutions, Inc. (or "CSI"), which Clean Diesel refers to as the "Merger" was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Accordingly, Clean Diesel's (the legal acquirer's) consolidated financial statements are now those of CSI (the accounting acquirer), with the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses of legacy Clean Diesel being included in CSI's financial statements effective from October 15, 2010, the closing date of the Merger. As such, the amounts discussed below for periods prior to the Merger are those of CSI and its consolidated subsidiaries, with amounts of legacy Clean Diesel operations included from the date of the Merger.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was $15.0 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 36.9%, from $10.9 million for the same quarter in 2010. Total revenue includes $0.3 million from legacy Clean Diesel business as a result of the Merger, all of which is included in Clean Diesel's Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division.

Revenue for Clean Diesel's Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 increased $4.2 million, or 59.2%, to $11.1 million from $6.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Clean Diesel expects sales in this division to be higher in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter in 2010, as well as higher than the third quarter of 2011, as anticipated London Low Emission Zone ("LEZ") sales are expected to continue to gain momentum.

Revenue, excluding intercompany sales, of $3.9 million for Clean Diesel's Catalyst division for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was essentially unchanged year-over-year. Intercompany sales to its Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division increased by $2.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  Clean Diesel anticipates sales to a major automaker customer to stabilize in the fourth quarter of 2011 following the disruption in the second quarter resulting from the effects of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan , and the subsequent recovery in the third quarter. However, while this automaker customer has announced that they intend to increase production to make up for lost sales, they have also announced that due to the recent floods in Thailand, production will be curtailed in their North American plants in the fourth quarter. Accordingly, while Clean Diesel currently expects external sales in its Catalyst division in the fourth quarter of 2011 to be consistent with the same quarter of 2010 and third quarter of 2011, the effect that this automaker's recent actions will have on Clean Diesel's sales in the fourth quarter of 2011 is uncertain at this time.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2011 were $5.5 million, compared to $4.5 million in the prior year quarter.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2011 was $2.0 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to net loss of $3.3 million, or $6.07 per share, in the comparable period in 2010. Net loss for the third quarter of 2011 included non-cash expense of approximately $0.2 million related to stock based compensation expense and $0.2 million related to amortization of intangible assets, including those acquired in the Merger, for a total of approximately $0.4 million compared to $43 thousand and $0.1 million , respectively, for a total of approximately $0.1 million in the same period in 2010. Diluted common shares outstanding were 7,035,000 in the current quarter compared to 550,000 in the same quarter a year ago, with the increase in the number of shares due principally to the effect of the Merger and related transactions, subsequent exercise of certain warrants issued in connection with the Merger and public offering completed on July 5, 2011.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Clean Diesel had cash and cash equivalents of $4.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively. As previously announced, Clean Diesel completed a public offering on July 5, 2011 in which Clean Diesel sold 3,053,750 shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds of $10.2 million after deducting underwriting commissions and expenses. On October 7, 2011, Clean Diesel entered into a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC ("LPC") which provides Clean Diesel with the option, at its sole discretion, to sell to LPC up to $10.0 million of its common stock, subject to effectiveness of a registration statement which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 13, 2011. Net proceeds from the public offering and any net proceeds resulting from sales of stock under the purchase agreement are intended to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

First Nine Months 2011 vs. First Nine Months 2010

Total revenue for the first nine months of 2011 was $40.3 million, an increase of $4.0 million, or 11.0%, from $36.3 million for the first nine months in 2010. Total revenue includes $1.8 million from legacy Clean Diesel business as a result of the Merger, all of which is included in Clean Diesel's Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division.

Revenue for Clean Diesel's Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division for the first nine months of 2011 increased $7.4 million, or 32.4%, to $30.1 million from $22.7 million for the first nine months of 2010.  

Revenue, excluding intercompany sales, for Clean Diesel's Catalyst division for the first nine months of 2011 was down $3.4 million, or 25%, to $10.2 million from $13.6 million for the first nine months of 2010. Intercompany sales to its Heavy Duty Diesel Systems division increased $3.5 million for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Total operating expenses for the first nine months of 2011 were $18.4 million, compared to $9.2 million for the first nine months of 2010. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were offset by a $3.9 million gain, which arose from the sale of specific three-way catalyst technology and intellectual property to Clean Diesel's partner in its Asian investment.

Net loss for the first nine months of 2011 was $7.8 million, or $1.55 per share, compared to $2.7 million, or $4.89 per share, in the comparable period in 2010. Net loss for the first nine months of 2011 included non-cash expense of approximately $1.4 million related to stock based compensation expense and $0.7 million related to amortization of intangible assets, including those acquired in the Merger, for a total of approximately $2.1 million compared to approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for a total of approximately $0.5 million in the same period in 2010. The first nine months of 2011 also included $1.1 million in gains related to the change in fair value of liability classified common stock warrants issued in connection with the Merger. The nine months ended September 30, 2010 include a $3.9 million gain, which arose from the sale of specific three-way catalyst technology and intellectual property to Clean Diesel's partner in its Asian investment. Diluted common shares outstanding were 5,021,000 for the first nine months of 2011 compared to 550,000 for the first nine months of 2010, with the increase in the number of shares due principally to the effect of the Merger and related transactions, subsequent exercise of certain warrants issued in connection with the Merger and public offering completed on July 5, 2011.

Mr. Call concluded, "We realize the world faces economic uncertainty and risk so a key part of our planning process is to make sure we're prepared if the situation becomes more challenging. Our balance sheet was strengthened by our successful completion of a public offering in early July and we recently announced a discretionary equity commitment with Lincoln Park Capital to provide us with the flexibility we may need to strategically grow the business.

"We expect our positive momentum to continue into the fourth quarter, which is expected to be our largest revenue quarter of the year. We anticipate our Heavy Duty Diesel Systems business will grow as sales accelerate in the London LEZ and as key retrofit programs are implemented in North America. We also expect to see more stable demand from our OEM customers for light duty vehicle catalysts. Overall, we are encouraged by our performance thus far in 2011 and look forward to delivering solid results to conclude the year."

What is the LEZ?

The Low Emission Zone (LEZ) was introduced in 2008 to encourage the most polluting heavy diesel vehicles driving in the Capital to become cleaner. The LEZ covers most of Greater London. To drive within it without paying a daily charge these vehicles must meet certain emissions standards that limit the amount of particulate matter (a type of pollution) coming from their exhausts.

Despite significant improvements in recent years, London's air pollution is still a concern.

So much so, that from 3 January 2012 the LEZ emissions standards will become more stringent. More vehicles will be affected, and those that are already affected will need to meet tighter emissions standards

When does it operate?

The Low Emission Zone (LEZ) operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including weekends and public and Bank Holidays.

Charging days run from midnight to midnight. So if you were to enter the LEZ in a vehicle that doesn't meet the required emissions standards at 11:30pm and exit at 1.00am the next day, you'd need to pay for two days.

Vehicles parked in the zone but not driving are not subject to the LEZ requirements for that day.

Remember, the LEZ isn't the same as the central London Congestion Charging zone. The Congestion Charge applies 7:00am to 6:00pm Monday-Friday, excluding public and Bank Holidays. If you drive within the Congestion Charging zone during these times you will have to pay the Congestion Charge, even if you meet the LEZ emissions standards or have paid the LEZ daily charge.

How does it work?

There are no barriers or tollbooths within the Low Emission Zone (LEZ). Instead, cameras will read your number plate as you drive within the LEZ and check it against our database of registered vehicles.

This database is compiled using information from The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), the Vehicle Operator Services Agency (VOSA), generic vehicle weight data typical of the make and model and drivers and operators who have registered directly with us.

This tells us automatically whether your vehicle meets the LEZ emissions standards, is exempt, is registered for a discount or if you've already paid the daily charge.

Vehicles registered outside of Great Britain

If you're driving a vehicle registered outside of Great Britain (this includes vehicles registered in Northern Ireland), you'll need to register it with Transport for London (TfL) to let us know that it meets the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) emissions standards so we can add your vehicle to our database.

It's important that you do this, because if you drive in the LEZ without registering, even if your vehicle meet the standards, you'll have to pay the daily charge or may receive a Penalty Charge Notice.

Why have a LEZ?

The Low Emission Zone (LEZ) was introduced in 2008 to encourage the most polluting diesel vehicles driving in our Capital to become cleaner.

To drive within the LEZ without paying a daily charge, your vehicle must meet certain emission standards that limit the amount of particulate matter coming from its exhaust. Particulate matter is a type of pollution that can contribute to asthma, heart and lung disease, other respiratory illnesses and even early death.

The Mayor's Air Quality Strategy published in December 2010 has more information about the link between particulate matter and health.

By reducing traffic pollution, our aim is to improve the health and quality of life of everyone visiting, working in or living in London.

Lorries, buses & coaches and heavy specialist vehicles

If you want to drive a lorry, bus, coach or other specialist heavy diesel vehicle in the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) without paying a daily charge, it needs to meet certain emissions standards.

At the moment, these vehicle types need to meet the Euro III standard for particulate matter (PM).

However, from 3 January 2012, these standards are changing to Euro IV for PM, so even if your vehicle meets the current standards, you may need to take action soon to meet the new standards in time.

It doesn't matter whether your vehicle is used for commercial or private purposes - it will still need to meet the standards.

The age and weight of a vehicle indicate the level of particulate matter (PM) it produces.

The table below shows those diesel vehicles which don't meet the current LEZ emissions standards, and which will not meet the standards from 3 January 2012. If you own any of the vehicles listed, you will need to take action before driving within the LEZ, or pay a daily charge.

What emissions standards will my vehicle need to meet?

The LEZ emissions standards are based on Euro standards for the emission of particulate matter (PM). PM is very fine particles of soot emitted by vehicles, which have an effect on health. This type of pollution can contribute to asthma, heart and lung disease, other respiratory illnesses and even early death.

The standards now (2011)

At the moment, vehicles need to meet the Euro III standard for PM. Vehicles registered as new on or after 1 October 2001 are assumed to meet this standard.

The new standards from 3 January 2012

From 3 January 2012, vehicles need to meet the Euro IV standard for PM. Vehicles registered as new on or after 1 October 2006 are assumed to meet these standards.

How do I know if my vehicle meets the standards?

The quickest way to check if your vehicle meets the current or new standards is to enter your registration plate details into our vehicle checker

Alternatively, you can use the vehicle type tool

Your vehicle will meet the current emissions standards if:

It was first registered as new on or after 1 October 2001You have a valid Low Emissions Certificate (LEC) or a Reduced Pollution Certificate (RPC) for fitting an approved partial or full filter, or converting to an approved gas engine You have received a LEC or RPC because your vehicle has an Eligible Engine - a pre-October 2001 engine that meets Euro III standards

Find out more about Eligible Engines

Your vehicle will meet the new 2012 emissions standards if:

It was first registered as new on or after 1 October 2006You have received a LEC or an RPC for fitting an approved full filter or converting to an approved gas engine

You will be free to drive within the LEZ without taking any action.

Your vehicle will not meet new 2012 emissions standards if:

It was first registered as new any time before 1 October 2006You have received a LEC or an RPC but you have only fitted a partial filter You have received a LEC or an RPC for an Eligible Engine (these will no longer meet the LEZ standards from 2012) You have received an RPC which has box 'M' ticked (this can be found under the 'Particulate trap fitted or modification type used' section of the certificate)

You'll need to take action if you want to drive within the LEZ from 3 January 2012 without paying the daily charge

Larger vans, minibuses & specialist diesel vehicles

From 3 January 2012, larger vans, minibuses and other specialist diesel vehicles will be affected by the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) for the first time. If you own this type of vehicle, it must meet certain emissions standards to be driven within the LEZ without paying a daily charge.

It doesn't matter whether your vehicle is used for commercial or private purposes - it will still need to meet the standards.

Vehicles affected from 3 January 2012

The age and weight of a vehicle indicate the level of emissions it produces.

The table below shows those vehicle types that won't meet the LEZ emissions standards from 3 January 2012. If you own any of the vehicles listed, you will need to take action before driving within the LEZ, or pay a daily charge.

Vehicle types that won't meet the LEZ emissions standards in 2012
Vehicle Type Weight Age
- Larger vans
- Motorised horseboxes
- 4x4 light utility vehicles
- Pick-ups
- Other specialist vehicles 1.205 tonnes unladen, to 3.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight Vehicles registered as new before 1 January 2002
- Motor caravans
- Ambulances 2.5 - 3.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight Vehicles registered as new before 1 January 2002
- Minibuses (with more than 8 passenger seats) 5 tonnes or less Gross Vehicle Weight Vehicles registered as new before 1 January 2002

Early adopters

Some vehicles registered before this date will also meet the Euro 3 standard as some manufacturers started producing vehicles with engines which met the Euro 3 standard before 1 January 2002. These vehicles are known as 'early adopters'.Find out if your vehicle is an early adopter (PDF 141KB)

Why include private vehicles?

These are included because they emit the same levels of pollutants as commercial vehicles. Specifically, motor caravans and ambulances are included because they have similar emissions to vans and minibuses.

Motor caravans are defined as vehicles with living accommodation, comprised of the following as a minimum:

Seats and a table Sleeping accommodation (which may be converted from the seats) Cooking and storage facilities, including an onboard or external water container At least one side window

To be classified as a motor caravan this equipment must be rigidly fixed to the living compartment. If you have converted your vehicle to operate as a motor caravan you will need to ensure that it is correctly classified as such by the DVLA.

Some examples of vehicles that might be used for private purposes but are still subject to the LEZ include:

Light 4 x 4 utility vehicles, weighing over 1.205 tonnes unladen Pick-ups weighing, over 1.205 tonnes unladen Vehicles with a commercial vehicle body type (for example, vans), weighing over 1.205 tonnes unladen Minibuses with more than eight seats, plus the driver's seat Motor Homes/Motorised Caravans, weighing over 2.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight Ambulances weighing over 2.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight

If your vehicle doesn't appear in the list above, you can use the weight limit and age (date first registered) as a guide to whether you need to take action, or use our vehicle checker

Light 4x4 utility vehicles

There are many types of light 4x4 utility vehicle. It is their classification (decided by the manufacturer and the European Union) that determines whether they're affected by the LEZ or not.

Light 4x4 utility vehicles classed as cars are not affected by the LEZ. Those classed as commercial vehicles are subject to the LEZ. This can be found on a VSC registration certificate under 'Body Type.'

Any vehicle designed to carry goods, or more than nine passengers, is classed as a commercial vehicle, even it's only used for recreational purposes. These include:

All models of pick-up vehicles, including dual cab pick-ups Commercial or 'panel van' variants of light utility vehicles (these can be identified by having a goods-carrying capacity in place of seating and metal panels in place of windows) Light utility vehicles that have more than 8 passenger seats

If your light utility vehicle is subject to the LEZ, then you can find out about your options

If you think that your light 4x4 utility vehicle has been classified incorrectly, please register your vehicle with TfL

If you have any queries, please contact us on 0845 607 0009.

Land Rovers

We have worked with Land Rover to establish which vehicles with the body type of 'Light 4x4 Utility Vehicle' are subject to the LEZ. Vehicles manufactured before 1973 are considered to be 'historic' vehicles and are exempt from the LEZ.

The vehicles listed below are subject to the LEZ standards:

All Defenders; 88s, 90s, 109s,110s, 127 and 130s (except station wagon variants with up to 9 seats) Freelander Commercial Discovery or Discovery Series 2 Commercial Conversions (eg Ambulance, Motorhome)

The following vehicles are not subject to LEZ as these are classed as 'estates':

Defender, 88, 90,109 and 110 station wagons up to 9 seats inc the drivers

Certain vehicles meet the Euro 3 standard because they are early adopters:

All Defenders, 90s, 110s, 127s and 130s manufactured after 6 August 2001 Freelander Commercial manufactured after 14 September 2000 Discovery or Discovery Series 2 Commercial manufactured after 2 July 2001 Conversions (e.g. Ambulance, Motorhome) manufactured after 2 January 2002

We've updated our database to reflect these vehicles'emission standards.

A small number of Defenders, 90s and 110s may be a 'station wagon', but may not be classified as such by the DVLA. If your vehicle has side windows and fixed seats in the back of the vehicle, and up to 9 seats including the drivers seat, it will not be subject to the LEZ. In these circumstances you need to:

For models registered from 1998 - correct the body type description, vehicle model details and/or number of seats with the DVLA For models registered before 1998 - register your vehicle with TfL with suitable photographic proofs if you intend to use the vehicle in the LEZ.

If you have a Land Rover which is not listed above, please contact us to find out if your vehicle is subject to LEZ.  

What emissions standards will my vehicle need to meet?

The LEZ emissions standards are based on Euro standards for the emission of particulate matter (PM). PM is very fine particles of soot emitted by vehicles, which have an effect on health. This type of pollution can contribute to asthma, heart and lung disease, other respiratory illnesses and even early death.

As of 3 January 2012, your vehicle will need to meet the Euro 3 standard for particulate matter.

How do I know if my vehicle meets the standards?

The quickest way to check if your vehicle meets the current or new standards is to enter your registration plate into our vehicle checker

Alternatively, you can use the vehicle type tool

If your vehicle was registered any time before 1 January 2002, it won't meet the Euro 3 emissions standards without modification, so you'll need to take action if you want to drive within the LEZ from 3 January 2012 without paying a daily charge. Find out what your options are

If your vehicle was registered on or after 1 January 2002, it will meet the Euro 3 emissions standards and you can drive within the LEZ without taking any action.

Fit a filter

Fitting an approved filter to your exhaust could reduce your vehicle's emissions enough to meet the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) emissions standards.

If you do choose this option, be aware that ordering the filter, and getting it fitted and certified takes at least three months, so you'll need to act as early as possible.

Step 1 - Choose and order a filter

It's important to fit an approved filter, as this is the only way to get the certificate to prove that your vehicle meets the LEZ emissions standards. A list of approved equipment and their suppliers can be found on the LEC approved devices list (PDF 40KB). 

Accredited equipment manufacturers can advise you on approved filters for your particular vehicle. We recommend you contact several filter manufacturers and get a minimum of three quotes. Please ensure the filter manufacturer you purchase from is able to fit your filter before 3 January 2012.  

It's important that you provide (via email or phone):

Vehicle make Vehicle model Body type/style (eg. motor home/caravan, light 4x4 utility, van) Drive cycle/vehicle use (eg. urban/inner city, suburban, motorway/long distance) and percentage of time spent in each type of driving Gross vehicle weight (tonnes or kg) Year of manufacture Engine size/displacement (litres) Engine power (bhp/kW)

Approximate cost of buying and fitting a filter

The cost of buying and fitting abatement equipment will vary depending on the age, type and usage patterns of your vehicle Buying a filter will cost between £1,200 and £3,500 for most vans, minibuses and other specialist vehicles and between £3,500 and £7,000 for HGVs, buses and coaches Fitting costs are often included in the purchase price, and are generally between £200 and £500 for vans, minibuses and other specialist vehicles and between £300 and £500 for HGVs, buses and coaches For large vehicles or those which have been specially modified, costs may be higher. It may prove cheaper to upgrade to a newer model which meets the standards, rather than retrofit an older vehicle

Maintenance costs

Most filters will need to be serviced once a year, depending on how many miles are travelled Some filters can be self-serviced by the vehicle operator, but most require a full service by a suitably trained mechanic. This will cost around £100-£200 for vans, minibuses and other specialist vehicles, and around £150-350 for HGVs, buses and coaches

We are not responsible for suppliers not responding or the quotation received.

We are continuing to work with filter equipment suppliers to ensure vehicle owners and operators have a wide range of options when it comes to fitting a filter.

Step 2 - Get it fitted

The supplier of your filter should be able to recommend an approved fitter, who will fit the filter into your exhaust system (often replacing the exhaust silencer).

Make sure you keep all the documentation for the engine and filter, as you'll need to provide this to the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) to get a certificate for your filter.

VOSA are the government agency that carries out annual tests on all lorries, buses and coaches, and licences MOT garages. It also tests filters and issues all certificates showing that vehicles meet the LEZ standards.

Step 3 - Get it certified

Once your filter has been fitted, it'll need to be tested so you can get your Reduced Pollution Certificate (RPC) or Low Emission Certificate (LEC) to prove your vehicle meets the LEZ emissions standards. You can get a LEC for all types of vehicle, but RPCs are only issued to certain lorries, buses and coaches.

You can either have your filter tested by an Authorised Examiner (AE), or at a VOSA test station:

Option 1: Book and take a test with VOSA

Each VOSA test costs £32. To find your nearest centre and book your test, call 0300 123 9000.

VOSA will examine your vehicle to confirm that the filter fitted is approved, and will carry out a smoke test to confirm that it's fitted and functioning correctly (the smoke test doesn't measure the particulate matter emissions of your vehicle). Once the test is successfully completed, VOSA will issue either a LEC or RPC and submit this to TfL automatically.

It may take up to 10 days for TfL's database to be updated, so in the meantime, you'll need to pay the daily charge if you're driving in the LEZ.

Visit the VOSA website

Option 2: Take a test on site with an Authorised Examiner

You may find that the fitter of your filter is a VOSA Authorised Examiner (AE), which means they will be able to test your vehicle for you (and you won't need to book a separate test with VOSA). A fee of £32 will be charged for the test. If not, your filter supplier may be able to recommend a mobile AE who can carry out the test for you at your premises.

Once the test is successfully completed, the AE will submit documentation to VOSA, which will conduct a quality check on the documentation received.

If everything is in order, VOSA will issue either a LEC or RPC to the vehicle owner by post and will notify TfL that the certificate has been issued.

It may take up to 10 days for TfL's database to be updated, so in the meantime, you'll need to pay the daily charge if you're driving within the LEZ.

Remember to re-test every year

RPCs and LECs are normally valid for 12 months, after which you'll need to get your vehicle re-tested, or pay the daily charge if you're driving within the LEZ.

If you have a lorry, bus or coach your first RPC or LEC will be valid up until your next annual vehicle inspection at VOSA, to allow you to schedule the re-test at the same time. If you do decide to schedule your re-test with your annual vehicle inspection it will cost £19.

If you have a larger van or minibus you will need to get your vehicle re-tested at a VOSA test centre at a cost of £32. This is separate to your normal annual MOT.

Please note, AEs can only test filters the year they are fitted - after that you'll need to go to a VOSA test centre.

How could a Penalty Charge be incurred?

You may be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) if:

Your vehicle does not meet the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) emissions standards and you are not exempt or registered for a 100 per cent discount  The relevant charge isn't paid by midnight on the next working day after the first day of travel  The vehicle has not been registered with Transport for London (TfL)  You have provided an incorrect vehicle registration mark or incorrect date of travel when paying the charge You paid by post but did not allow at least 10 days before your date of travel for your payment to clear

You may receive separate PCNs for each charging day that you drive within the LEZ. Please remember that the charging hours are from midnight to midnight. PCNs can be issued to both GB and non-GB registered vehicles.

You can pay a PCN online, by calling 0845 607 0009 or by post: Low Emission Zone, PO Box 4784, Worthing BN11 9PU

Getting accredited

Manufacturers of abatement equipment need to get their equipment accredited by one of Transport for London's (TfL's) recognised certification bodies before it can be added to the list of approved devices available to operators. This ensures that approved filters meet minimum technical standards and ensures that vehicles fitting these approved filters meet the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) emissions standards. 

Manufacturers of pollution abatement equipment in Great Britain

It is the responsibility of manufacturers and suppliers to certify their pollution abatement equipment.

Pollution abatement equipment can be added to the Low Emissions Certificate (LEC) Approved Devices List if evidence is provided to one of TfL's recognised certification bodies that it meets reduced emissions requirements.

Certified abatement equipment can also be added to the Reduced Pollution Certificate (RPC) Approved Devices List if evidence is provided to the Vehicle Certification Agency that it meets all scheme requirements.

Manufacturers of pollution abatement equipment outside Great Britain

Vehicles not registered in Great Britain and fitted with abatement equipment may register with TfL providing evidence that they meet the required emissions standards for particulate matter.

TfL will require evidence of the equipment fitted to the vehicle, and the resulting emissions levels for particulate matter. This evidence will be:

The vehicle registration documents A declaration of fitting of the pollution abatement equipment. This must clearly identify the equipment fitted, the vehicle details and the particulate matter emissions standard achieved, also the national type approval or certification authority which has certified the emissions achieved

Manufacturers are advised to contact TfL if they are uncertain as to whether their device meets the emissions standards of the LEZ. 

The London Low Emission Zone (LEZ) was introduced in 2008 to encourage the most polluting diesel vehicles driving within London to become cleaner.

It has been very successful, but London's air pollution is still a concern. So much so, that, from 3 January 2012 the LEZ emissions standards for lorries, buses and coaches already affected by the LEZ will become tighter. In addition, more types of vehicles will be affected.

If you operate vehicles in the London area, this guide will show you which vehicles are affected by the LEZ, and the options available to you if your vehicle does not meet the required emissions standards. For example, you can fit an approved filter to improve your vehicle's emissions and get a certificate to prove your vehicle's emissions standard (eg a valid Reduced Pollution Certificate or a Low Emissions Certificate), which will allow you to drive in the LEZ without paying the daily charge.

The diesel Mercedes Atego lorry has a high value on the used market. The lorry has a Gross Vehicle Weight of 18,000kg and was registered for the first time with the DVLA in 2004. This means the lorry currently meets the Euro III Particulate Matter (PM) emissions standard and meets the current LEZ standards. From 3 January 2012 the Mercedes Atego will need to meet the Euro IV PM emissions standard to drive within the LEZ without charge.

The owner could replace the vehicle, but the value of the lorry is still high and the replacement cost would be expensive. The owner decides the easiest way to bring it up to the Euro IV emissions standard for the LEZ in January 2012 is to fit a filter. The filter traps the PM emitted from the vehicle. The owner discussed a range of solutions with abatement equipment suppliers who suggested a diesel particulate filter taking the duty cycle of the lorry into consideration. The total cost of fitting the filter was around £4,000.

Only approved filters are accepted by TfL. There is a list of approved filters and supplier contact details available at www.tfl.gov.uk/lez. The owner of the vehicle spoke to several suppliers listed on the website before choosing the solution mentioned above. It is important to do this to ensure you get the best price and because not all filters are suited to all vehicle types and operating conditions.

The Iveco Cargo lorry chassis can be fitted with a variety of bodies and is a common sight on London streets.

The Gross Vehicle Weight of this lorry is 7,450kg, which means that it has been affected by the Low Emission Zone since July 2008. It was first registered with the DVLA in 2003 which means it meets the current Euro III emissions standards.

However from January 2012 the standard will tighten to Euro IV and this lorry will no longer meet LEZ emissions standards. The owner had to take action in order to continue driving it within Greater London from January 2012.

The easiest way to bring it up to the required emissions standard was to retrofit the vehicle with a full diesel particulate filter. A range of solutions are available and the owner discussed the engine’s condition and the vehicle’s duty cycle with several suppliers in order to find the best solution. The total cost of retrofitting this lorry was around £3,500.

Only approved filters are accepted by TfL. There is a list of approved filters and suppliers available at tfl.gov.uk/lez. The owner of the vehicle spoke to several suppliers on this list before choosing the solution mentioned above. It is important to do this to ensure you get the best price and because not all filters are suited to all vehicles and operating conditions.

Once the filter was fitted, the owner needed to get a certificate to prove that the filter is working properly. The owner booked a test at the nearest VOSA test station, which he found through the VOSA website at http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/lez. After the lorry was tested, the owner received a Low Emission Certificate (LEC). It took 10 working days for TfL to receive the certificate information from VOSA. The operator can now drive the lorry within the LEZ from 3 January 2012 without having to pay the daily charge.

?

The diesel Leyland DAF motorised horsebox has a Gross Vehicle Weight of 7,500 kg and was registered for the first time with the DVLA in 1998, which means it is registered as a Euro II vehicle. Despite being registered as a Euro II vehicle the Euro II certified engine met the Euro III Particulate Matter (PM) emissions standard. This is known as an eligible engine. A list of eligible engines can be found at www.tfl.gov.uk/lez

.

This Mercedes Vario 614D is used by a charity and has been retrofitted with level floors, wheelchair lifts and wheelchair anchoring points, making it very valuable to the charity that owns it. The Gross Vehicle Weight of the vehicle is 6,000kg, which means that it has been affected by the Low Emission Zone since July 2008. It was first registered with the DVLA in 1998 which means it originally only met the Euro 2 emissions standard.

The minibus operates in London, so in order to meet the LEZ emissions standards from 2008 it was fitted with a partial filter. This brought the vehicle up to the Euro III standard for particulate matter. However from January 2012 the standard will tighten to Euro IV and the minibus will no longer meet the required LEZ emission standards. The owners needed to take action in order to continue driving the minibus within Greater London from January 2012.

The owners could have replaced the vehicle, but as it is fully paid for and has been retrofitted for wheelchairs, the replacement cost would have been relatively expensive. The charity therefore decided that the easiest way to bring it up to the required emissions standard was to replace the partial filter with a full diesel particulate filter. A range of solutions are available and the owners discussed the engine’s condition and the vehicle’s duty cycle with several suppliers in order to find the best solution. The total cost of retrofitting this minibus was around £2,500.

Only approved filters are accepted by TfL. There is a list of approved filters and suppliers available at tfl.gov.uk/lez. The owners of the vehicle spoke to several suppliers on this list before choosing the solution mentioned above. It is important to do this to ensure you get the best price and because not all filters are suited to all vehicles and operating conditions.

Once the filter was fitted, the owners needed to get a certificate to prove that the filter is working properly. The owners booked a test at the nearest VOSA test station, which they found through the VOSA website at http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/lez. After the minibus was tested, the owners received a Low Emission Certificate (LEC). It took 10 working days for TfL to receive the certificate information from VOSA. The charity can now drive the minibus within the LEZ from 3 January 2012 without having to pay the daily charge.
