"Local Company donates a shipping container"

Western Depot
Over the past five to six years "Tricel (Stonehouse)" has donated hundreds of imperfect trench boards, which any volunteers who deal in the art of getting dirty will be well aware of. We have been very grateful to the company as it helps provide safer working areas, and we expend less energy by not tramping in mud. They also adorn most of the yard at our Eastington depot.
Last week we were given the opportunity of a 20' shipping container, provided we shifted it as soon as possible. Say no more, as it will be useful for storage and shelter when 1B gets under way.
Needing a haulage company urgently this morning, I was steered by local knowledge to see if Andrew Wheeler could assist us. What a brilliant result, as a vehicle made for the job was heading back to their base at Ryeford, and they diverted to help us move the container to Brimscombe Port.
Dan Wheeler did a marvelous job of extracting the container from a tight fit amongst the factory stock in the yard and delivered it to Brimscombe.
We would like to thank both Tricel, and Andrew Wheeler for their help.
