Burcombe Haulage Ltd

Burcombe Haulage were delighted to help out Devon & Cornwall Food Action (DCFA) to get their chiller van back on the road, providing deliveries to families across both counties.

The charity strives to eradicate food poverty in Devon and Cornwall, run almost entirely by a volunteer workforce. DCFA work with food producers and supermarkets to redistribute surplus good to those in need, supplying and providing food to families identified as being in desperate need to feed themselves.

Burcombe worked in partnership with Burts Snacks in picking up and repairing one of their chiller vans, which is essential to the fleet in collecting and delivering cold foods from food providers to those who need it most.

We received the following thank you video from Alan Dunne, Chairman for Devon & Cornwall Food Action, thanking both companies for their help and time in fixing the vehicle and we are more than happy to have been able to help this fantastic charity be able to continue their much needed work in the community.

There have been many changes at Burcombe in the last three months as we adapt to Government restrictions for the safety of our staff and visitors.

Although many businesses have reopened this week, as an essential industry Burcombe Haulage have continued to run throughout the lockdown and have been modifying how we work since March. Hand sanitiser stations, protective screens, adopting 2m when it comes to desk space and movement around the yard and offices, signage and PPE packs, to name a few.

We will maintain adjustments to our working practice and environment in response to the most up to date guidelines and risk assessments, to ensure it is a safe workplace while the fight against Covid19 continues.

Big thank you to all the team for their support and co-operation throughout!

Burcombe Haulage supported the East Cornwall Great Trethew Point to Point last Sunday, volunteering to provide roadsweeper services. Thankfully the event went ahead, despite the concerning weather conditions and the original date cancellation.

Congratulations to Charlotte Summersby, who picked up her first Point to Point win on Cloudy Music, a barn in the novice riders.

Burcombe Haulage Directors Carina Hodge and Stuart Wilkie recently attended THE Pallet Network Member’s Meeting held at Villa Park and came home with an Elite Performance Award.
