“There are no shortcuts to any place worth going“. This is the story of my trip to the UK & to working at Kerfoot HQ in Yorkshire. My trips have always been unique; unfortunately, I am leaving very soon, but as for any trip I will be taking back a full & even heavier suitcase - packed with new experiences & new challenges, new memories & new friends, new places visited & of course one of the most important ones – new targets for me

Not more than eight hours have passed since I started the so-called escape from the realm of ice and snow.

Jenna Napoli from Richmond, North Yorkshire kindly got in touch after she spotted us this week!
I was on a road trip this Monday to Southampton from Richmond.

So what did I think of when I heard people in my country Moldova talking of England? I thought of proud castles, the monarchy, royal weddings, green villages, rainy weather & afternoon tea. In between all the work & training I have been doing with The Kerfoot Group teams across HQ & Goole, I have had some time to explore Yorkshire. Here are my top ten new favourites for my new short life in Yorkshire.

“Instinctively a risk-taker, usually on the basis of fine calculations, David was occasionally inclined to be reckless”. This was me as a young entrepreneur and is a quote from a soon to be published book. Not the most flattering of comments but very true as it raises the question of risk management and just how seriously or not business today manages this key challenge. I don’t think for many companies risk is something which is talked about or managed as a total

…an incredible truck!
So as well as being uber-busy with our new website we have also very recently launched an upgraded fleet of vehicles incorporating our new motherbrand. Across both our HGV curtain-sided vehicles and our bulk road tankers, the It’s Incredible theme is now on the roads across the UK and continent.
I like to keep a check on the Logistics division great pride and joy so I am constantly asking the commercial teams when they are out and about

The promotion of vanity is an ongoing theme on our TV screens, tabloids and advertising boards. In the past decade the importance of maintaining ones skin has shifted up the priority list of the average shopper. Despite there being a decline in the overall retail segment this year figures have proved the health and beauty sector to be one of the most resilient during this economic downturn.
