WHAT YOU SAY
■ “Boast are great at keeping us
appraised on the status of each
shipment and are extremely proactive
in finding solutions to problems beyond
anyone’s control. Communication is key
in our business and Boast provides us
with timely updates, which enables
us to communicate effectively to our
customers that in-turn maintains
our service credibility”
■ “We are regularly inundated with
requests for business from larger
companies offering to save us a few
pounds here and there. Our train of
thought is always the same, when you
are bringing in perishable consignments
worth thousands of pounds, you want
them in the hands of people you trust
implicitly. People who never make
costly errors. People who always
offer a professional and personal
service. People who value your
business. We stick with who
we know and trust”
