DANDY'S GARDEN CENTRE ASSIST IN SACK RACE WITH A DIFFERENCE...

Dandy's Rock Salt Supplies parent company; DandysGardenCentre.co.uk, recently came up trumps for a London based community garden project after their garden and grounds were destroyed during the riots of 2011.

The award winning company sent some of their quality topsoil and turf down to the project co-ordinators to get them back on their feet.

The garden has never looked better and it was a project which Dandy's were keen to get involved with as part of their commitment to charities, community projects, environmental awareness and to top it all off; all of that new turf being grown on Dandy's quality topsoil can only help to lessen the company's carbon footprint; bringing them one step closer to their goal of becoming carbon neutral by the end of 2015!

Most recently, kids from the local area were out in the garden having a sack race in the bulk bags which Dandy's supplied the topsoil in - a real novel way to recycle the bulk bags and one that the company hopes will catch on!

DANDY'S UNVEIL LATEST DELIVERY VEHICLES...

Following the unprecedented early demand for rock salt and de-icing products, Dandy's have once again extended their fleet in order to keep up with demand.

The company's standard fleet consists of two multi drop, crane offload vehicles which service Chester and North Wales with deliveries of coal, logs and salt throughout the winter and landscaping and gardening supplies during the summer, two small vans for access to the harder to reach parts of North Wales and an eight wheeler, high sided bulk tipper for delivering loose loads up to 20 tonnes or 40 cubic metres!

Since Dandy's began selling online way back in 2004 the fleet has been expanded and improved and the use of pallet networks employed to allow the company to reach customers all over the country. Last year Dandy's partnered up with local hauliers, Farralls Transport, in order to continue to keep up with the high demand for salt.

Farralls, part of the Palletforce network, now take care of all of Dandy's nationwide bulk bag and palletised deliveries and following a successful trading period have liveried up one of their new curtain side delivery vehicles in the Dandy's colour scheme and logo.

The truck will be running goods from Dandy's HQ in Deeside down to the Palletforce central sorting hub in the Midlands ready for despatch to customers across the UK.

This is the latest addition to the Dandy's delivery fleet and it follows hot on the heels of Dandy's two electric cars which were added to the company fleet as part of Dandy's commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2015.
