Ross Harrison, Contract van Driver TNT, Bristol. Years in Industry 7

Ross Harrison covers about 60 thousand miles a year in his Peugot Bipper, he was requested to cover a delivery run when the usual courier suffered a vehicle breakdown. Ross set off to complete the run and shortly after his first collection was involved in what can only be described as an horrific accident.

The incident took place between Malborough and Royal Wootton Bassett on a notorious accident black spot. Ross's vehicle clipped a bank and due to the adverse camber of the road, flipped onto its roof. Ross suffered severe cuts to his head which were bleeding profusely. Nethertheless he immediately evacuated his vehicle and went to the rear to check that the voucher bag of important documents were still secure in its tote box.

Police and paramedics assessed Ross's condition and decided to transport him to Swindon General Hospital. However Ross understanding the importance of the shipment he was carrying insisted he could not leave the scene without it. The police officers insisted he left for hospital and again Ross would not leave with out the box, explaining that he also couldn't disclose its contents due to the nature of his work.

Finally Ross agreed to be taken to hospital

But not before getting a promise from the police officer in charge to personally deliver the tote box to him in hospital. Ross then contacted his contract manager to advise what had happened and o assure him that the shipment was safe.

That afternoon - and 45 stitches later- the officer delivered the still secure consignment to Ross. The shipment was then handed on to a relief courier.

Just four days later Ross was back at work, serving his customers in his usual well-mannered and cheerful way.

This is just one of the reasons we recommend Ross for an award. He continues to be one of our greatest couriers and carry's out his work to the highest standard of professional care.
