Nigel Thomas and Frances Valdes complete the 2009 London Marathon

Well they did it again. This time Nigel didn't have a cold (see) but Frances did have a broken bone in her foot! It had caused her problems for sometime. If you add Nigel and Frances's trip to Thailand and Vietnam in March; they weren't exactly well trained! Deciding to do the Marathon was a last minute thing. It was do it or loose the place. So they trained all day Easter Monday. To be precise, it was really all afternoon, as they got up late.
It took Nigel and Frances 7 hours to walk the 26.2 miles. In fact, they were very close to being the last to finish, which means they were almost the last people ever to complete the Flora London Marathon. Next year the Marathon will be organised by Virgin.
Nigel and Frances had such a great day, they intend to walk it next year too. However, next year they will be doing it for charity - you have been warned!

New XtraVan 2.0 - Earn money from your empty vans!

For many years Nigel has been intrigued by the fact that up to 50% of all sameday courier vehicles are unloaded. Think about it; a typical courier delivery leaves the office, picks up at point A, delivers to point B, and returns empty back to the office. Up until now, all those empty vehicle movements were a wasted valuable resource, thousands of unloaded miles each day traveling our roads.

Now, just imagine if you could access a database of empty vehicle movements, moreover, what if other courier companies could provide you with a return-load?

XtraVan is currently a free upgrade for Controller users. Some of our clients have been testing the new XtraVan over the last few months, and it has already saved them £££££'s AND that is with the few are who are testing XtraVan. Just imagine how many empty vans are going to be filled once all our clients are using it. To read more about please go to the XtraVan part of our web site
