Inside<br />

Welcome to The <strong>Professional</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> Magazine<br />

We’ve had some great feedback about<br />

our last issue, so thank you for that.<br />

In particular our feature on National<br />

Rescue’s 50th birthday. Martin Lambert’s<br />

editorial on the history of the company brought<br />

back many memories for a lot of you.<br />

I’m pleased to announce that we have a new<br />

contributor to the magazine – Frank Taylor.<br />

Many of you will recognise Frank from the many<br />

areas he has been involved in the industry.<br />

Frank will be providing some useful articles on<br />

training, health and safety and mental health<br />

awareness; all topics where he has a wealth<br />

of knowledge. There’s never been a more<br />

important time to be on top of all these areas<br />

so I know you’ll find them useful.<br />

We have all our usual news and views in<br />

this issue, including our latest Subscribers<br />

Competition where you can win a battery<br />

charging station from Draper, plus we have our<br />

latest piece from Derek – ‘Your industry needs<br />

you’.<br />

We’re now taking bookings almost daily for<br />

this year’s Tow Show. Not only are exhibitors<br />

<strong>Professional</strong><br />

Bridge Road, Wellington, Telford TF1 1EA<br />

Boniface Engineering is our latest sponsor to<br />

Tow Show Main Sponsor<br />

A<br />

very enthusiastic welcome back to<br />

the Tow Show from Creative Funding<br />

Solutions who can’t wait to see all our<br />

friends and colleagues, some for the first<br />

time in ages! We will be in our usual spot<br />

carrying on with business as usual, and we<br />

want you to join us in what is bound to be a<br />

bumper end to the year.<br />

These testing times have been spent<br />

helping our customers find funding,<br />

in the most challenging of economic<br />

environments in our lifetimes. We have<br />

helped our customers gain access to CBILS<br />

Asset Finance, giving them the benefit of<br />

extremely cheap funding and sometimes a<br />

year’s repayment deferral.<br />

As well as the successful launch of<br />

our brand www.TowTruck.Finance at the<br />

2019 Tow Show we have had fantastic<br />

success with other brands including www.<br />

Motorhome.Finance, a sector that has<br />

grown exponentially over the past year with<br />

burgeoning interest in staycation holidays.<br />

www.CommerialVehicle.Finance is at the<br />

very core of what we do with many of our<br />

staff having secured finance for these sorts<br />

of vehicles almost since they left school<br />

(admittedly some of those more recently<br />

than others!).<br />

Remember that for every new<br />

recovery operator contacting us for a NO<br />

OBLIGATION finance quote we pay £25 to<br />

RISC, the <strong>Recovery</strong> Industry Support Charity<br />

https://www.riscuk.net/ , which has been<br />

so important to many so recently. Thanks!<br />

NEWS<br />

Apex ANS four week review<br />

Up to week ending 6 June*<br />

The first week of June saw a huge spike in volumes, driven<br />

by the May half term school holiday week. Combined with<br />

continued easing of lock down restriction and the fact that<br />

overseas holidays are still very complicated, the British people<br />

took to the road to have staycations and daytrips around the<br />

country. Traffic volumes spiked, as did recovery incidents. The<br />

total number of jobs on the ANS network was 117 thousand, an<br />

increase of 31% vs the week before and 57% higher than the<br />

comparable week in 2019. Suffice to say that this was the busiest<br />

week in the last 12 months by some margin and actually busier<br />

than any week in pre lockdown 2019. If this is a sign of things<br />

to come during the summer, the industry needs to ensure it is<br />

prepared. It is worth noting that we saw a significant increase in<br />

our pinpoint requests, to help identify the exact coordinates of a<br />

broken down vehicle.<br />

It is interesting to note, that according to our date the median<br />

time between job accepted and at scene wasn’t materially<br />

impacted by the additional volumes. This is quite phenomenal<br />

and something of which the industry can be proud.<br />

For the entire four-week period, we saw clear trends towards<br />

higher overall volumes (+33%), higher out of hours volumes<br />

(+66%) and higher RTCs (+34%), whilst the number of at home<br />

jobs barely changes (+1%) as people started using their cars<br />

again. This is all in line with expectations, as the country is slowly<br />

coming out of lock down. Nonetheless, it is great to see that the<br />

industry is slowly getting back to normal sustainable volumes.<br />

Compared to 2019, volumes were also higher than expected, but<br />

this is driven mainly by the extraordinary volumes of the half term<br />

week.<br />

*For this review we will always compare the figures for the latest four week period compared to the prior four week period to achieve<br />

the best like for like comparison.<br />

YOUR INDUSTRY NEEDS<br />

The true<br />

operating costs of a<br />

successful recovery<br />

business never really<br />

demonstrates the value<br />

in having the correct<br />

compliance<br />

by Derek Firminger<br />

YOU!<br />

If you look back over the last five or six issues of <strong>Professional</strong><br />

<strong>Recovery</strong>, you’ll see the subject of the rates paid and the cost<br />

to operate is referenced on a regular basis. The fact that the<br />

editor Paul Gregory sets aside a page or two to what we have<br />

come to know is the ‘Secret Operator’ gives operators and other<br />

stakeholders the opportunity to voice their views.<br />

The true operating costs of a successful recovery business<br />

never really demonstrates the value in having the correct<br />

compliance, I know from time to time I bang on about the value a<br />

formal regulation will bring do you operators, so why not realise<br />

that investment and lock out those that don’t comply?<br />

The industry’s friends and the claimed, leading trade<br />

association AVRO, have recently made it their place to inform the<br />

wider recovery industry of the latest Home Office consultation<br />

on the subject of what we recognise as statutory fees legislation<br />

The Removal, Storage and Disposal of Vehicles (Prescribed Sums<br />

and Charges) Regulations 2008. Before we consider how the<br />

wider industry should deal with the consultation, I think it’s worth<br />

reminding some of the readers a handful of things that costs<br />

the operator so much on their general overheads and direct<br />

operating costs.<br />

It’s important to understand how the statutory fee regulations<br />

impacts the recovery industry and how this time around the<br />

industry must make sure the outcome of the consultation is not<br />

left in the dark and completely forgotten about. No, it has to<br />

remain as a document that is regularly reviewed and tested.<br />

RECOVERYINSIDER<br />

There are a number of things required to make yours a<br />

successful recovery business, to start with the basics would make<br />

perfect sense.<br />

Having the right premises in that prime location, with plenty<br />

of office space, with ample vehicle storage space is a first.<br />

Don’t forget it needs to meet your customer expectations and<br />

the requirements of PAS 43. Customer waiting area with all the<br />

trimmings, experienced and well-trained staff and not only<br />

drivers but good control and administration staff, likened to the<br />

black London Cab, someone with the knowledge, oh and have<br />

them available on a 24-hour a day basis, in line with the working<br />

time directive of course.<br />

Even more obvious will be a fleet of compliant vehicles. In<br />

today’s market that’s not just a man in a truck, no that’s having<br />

at your disposal the full vehicle range, with crew cabs, light<br />

transporter, heavy transporter, the ability to lift or move the<br />

awkward and damaged car or van so at the very least you need<br />

all the ancillary equipment, and perhaps include a lorry loader<br />

recovery crane. All that assumes you are a light vehicle operator.<br />

If you’ve been successful enough and have expanded your<br />

business into heavy recovery, then you will have to multiply any<br />

associated costs by five or more. If you have got an experienced<br />

and fully trained commercial workforce, then best you manage<br />

the very best of working and pay conditions because a good and<br />

reliable heavy recovery driver is as rare as hen’s teeth, you need<br />

to keep hold of them.<br />

In the last issue of <strong>Professional</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> magazine, the ‘Secret<br />

Operator’ asked the question, Who are the fools? He, or she, yes<br />

there are some very good female operators in recovery and let’s<br />

face it more often than not it’s the woman in the partnership or<br />

marriage that holds the purse strings.<br />

Anyway, the edit, was highlighting the massive investment and<br />

soaring costs for little reward. Insurance up even with a good<br />

claims history and let’s not forget, how last year your operating<br />

risk factor dropped off a cliff despite less vehicles on the road<br />

and most of your staff on furlough. The insurance brokers out<br />

there reading this, ‘don’t shoot the messenger’, but you the<br />

insured should be asking your broker for a rebate, not accepting<br />

an increase! Someone’s rubbing their hands together, singing<br />

‘Happy Birthday’!<br />

The fuel companies are no different, fuel price increasing,<br />

now that’s crazy, there must be an abundance of fuel available<br />

somewhere, because very little has been used these past 14<br />

months with 80% of cars parked on peoples drives and little or<br />

no traffic on the roads, Heathrow Airport a plane park, so the fuel<br />

companies hiking their prices are also having it away.<br />

Compliance costs<br />

Our Secret Operator also highlighted the on-going operational<br />

costs, something that will never go away you’ll always have your<br />

own compliance costs from training to Inspections, routine<br />

vehicle maintenance and PPE, these are the things that make the<br />

true operator, a compliance level above the rest. An industry that<br />

resists self-regulation, but you might as well have it as you’re<br />

already paying for it! For now, that debate is done.<br />

More often than not there is a mechanism that sets<br />

expectation, especially within industry, now insurance, I’m sure it<br />

will be the ABI who have a fair influence on those costs and if your<br />

respective trade associations were to lobby the ABI over inflated<br />

insurance, I’m sure the industry could see a reduction.<br />

Petrol and diesel is another matter with the price of petrol<br />

hitting its highest level for two years. RAC Foundation reporting,<br />

Government data showing that on Monday 7th June motorists<br />

were paying an average of 128.7p per litre for petrol across the<br />

UK, a level not seen since June 2019, and diesel now costing an<br />

average of 132.4p per litre, the highest price since January 2020.<br />

Let’s not forget that during the first COVID-related lockdown<br />

the price of petrol slipped as low as 105p per litre and diesel fell<br />

10, 11, 12, 13 DF.indd 2 15/06/2021 16:14


RECOVERYINSIDER<br />

to 112p per litre. We’re told the current increase is being driven<br />

by demand for oil with Crude now above 70 US dollars a barrel<br />

compared with around 20 US dollars a barrel a little over a year<br />

ago. Apart from being shrewd with your fuel purchasing there’s no<br />

way to control the pricing.<br />

What is the one single factor you the operator can have an<br />

influence on? It’s the elephant in the room - the subject of rates.<br />

The rates the operator gets paid, and no you’ll not get my views<br />

on the subject, good or bad, I always consider it the operator’s<br />

commercial decision. If the rates and the operating terms work<br />

for you, then fine do it, if not then don’t, but don’t then moan<br />

about it.<br />

Back in 2008 a number of operators and trade associations had<br />

a direct involvement in the consultation around statutory fees,<br />

at the time the only legitimate fee that could be charged for stat<br />

removal, no matter what size of vehicle or what condition it might<br />

be in, a car on its roof, a truck on its side spilt load whatever, was<br />

only £105, £12 & £18 (respectively) a day storage and £50 disposal.<br />

We had meetings with Geoffrey Biddulph and John Crozier both<br />

of roads crime section at the home office, big changes ahead. I<br />

know the level of detail that was submitted to the Home Office<br />

back in 2008, as I was part of the RHA consultation working group,<br />

with John Coupland, Mark McAllister and a few others, we costed<br />

every part of a recovery business overhead, every penny was cost,<br />

no matter how big or small. Drivers wage, National Insurance,<br />

holidays, cost of bank holidays, vehicle running costs, fuel, rents,<br />

rates, bank charges, depreciation, I don’t need to list it all.<br />

Charging scale<br />

We actually created a ghost company, with no stone left<br />

uncovered, every scenario you see on today’s stat fee scenario<br />

charging scale had an in-depth cost analysis, a cost model, as well<br />

as a library of photographs to support the claim, so the laymen in<br />

the DfT or the Home Office would review our submission and had<br />

nowhere to hide.<br />

The end result you see today, however the Home Office didn’t<br />

follow through on part of this agreement, it was agreed to have<br />

an annual review of the fees and the detail within the scenarios<br />

and if they worked for the recovery industry and the general<br />

public, not forgetting the complex logistics industry. Despite<br />

persistent requests and calls through the Transport APPG, the<br />

industry was continually ignored.<br />

The recovery industry is today on the verge of a generational<br />

change, without any facts there must be at least 50% less<br />

recovery operators today than there was back in 2008 when the<br />

last consultation was presented to the Home Office.<br />

A generational change because a lot of those pioneers, and<br />

they were, pioneers, have either sadly passed away, or retired and<br />

left the business to the next generation, the younger generation,<br />

educated in the world of I.T., social media and the environmental<br />

changes with EV’s and Hybrids bring the decision making to the<br />

‘COVID’ generation as we will come to know them.<br />

This latest consultation, no matter how many years late it might<br />

be is set out to seek views on proposed changes to the following<br />

regulations and not just the fees and a percentage uplift: -<br />

The Removal, Storage and Disposal of Vehicles<br />

(Prescribed Sums and Charges) Regulations 2008;<br />

The Police (Retention and Disposal of Motor Vehicles)<br />

(Amendment) Regulations 2008 and the Police (Retention<br />

and Disposal of Motor Vehicles Regulations 2002;<br />

The Road Traffic Act 1988 (Retention and Disposal of<br />

Seized Motor Vehicles) (Amendment) Regulations 2008<br />

and the Road Traffic Act 1988 (Retention and Disposal of<br />

Seized Motor Vehicles) Regulations 2005;<br />

The Police (Retention and Disposal of Vehicles)<br />

Regulations 1995.<br />

These charges will apply where the police have cause to<br />

remove or recover a vehicle in particular sets of circumstances.<br />

The consultation also seeks views on whether aspects of the<br />

regulations and legislation are adequate to provide a sustainable<br />

service for vehicle recovery.<br />

YOUR INDUSTRY NEEDS<br />

VEHICLES FOR SALE<br />

VEHICLES FOR SALE<br />

As a recovery operator, can you truly say you are familiar<br />

with all of those regulations, I know for sure there is only a few<br />

operators that have read them, let alone understand them and<br />

fully understand them and how that fits your business is critical to<br />

a successful recovery business and to get the best results from<br />

the consultation.<br />

If you’re a member of a trade body or trade association then<br />

speak to your representative and ensure you have your say, you<br />

do not have to be a member of a trade association you can have<br />

your own say, and I would encourage every one of you <strong>Professional</strong><br />

<strong>Recovery</strong> magazine readers to make your own submission, the<br />

more detailed responses the better, the stronger the case made<br />

for the recovery industry the better, don’t forget this is open to<br />

the logistics and haulage and insurance sectors and there likely to<br />

have a totally different view to you the operator.<br />

It’s this statutory fee legislation and the pricing matrix that<br />

creates the very foundations that supports the recovery industry,<br />

the mechanism you can rely on to influence the industry’s<br />

generalised cost module, from a callout fee, free mileage<br />

(whatever that is), specialist charges and the guarantees those<br />

finance payments are made ‘Ontime’, no pun intended.<br />

With the consultation ending Friday 6th August 2021, the<br />

message has to be understood there’s no guarantee this will go<br />

the way the operator wants, now more than ever ‘Your Industry<br />

Needs You’! It is time all step up to the plate for change, say<br />

nothing and the industry will receive more of the same.<br />

Finally, and to expand on the comments from that secret<br />

operator in the last issue 342, you quote ‘£70k a pop for a new<br />

truck’, that’s just a 7.5 tonne transporter, a 12 tonne transporter<br />

starts at £100k and as for the price of a heavy, a very good friend<br />

of mine Mick Jennings, Managing Director of LJ Transportation and<br />

Nationwide Vehicle Assistance (NVA), he continues to make the<br />

investment into keeping his fleet up to date and well maintained,<br />

having just added a brand new<br />

limited edition 6x2 DAF XF.530,<br />

just shy of £300k, now that takes<br />

some feeding and evidences<br />

exactly why the consultation must<br />

be taken seriously.<br />

collect their new VRS<br />

J&J Conversions Ltd were recently delighted to welcome back<br />

Stephen and Jonny from AJK Thompson to collect their new VRS<br />

Evolution II. Logistics were rather cannily planned to capitalise<br />

on the 350 mile trip from Northumberland to Hampshire by way<br />

of shared driving and the repatriation of two vehicles to their<br />

Southern owners. That’s efficiency at its finest!<br />

Stephen is keen to see for himself how by adding VRS to their<br />

fleet it will enhance productivity and profitability for the business.<br />

VRS was the original rapid recovery solution and Evolution II is still<br />

the market leader providing a 1400kg carrying capacity on VRS<br />

axle and a sealed hydraulic braking system making it stand out<br />

proud from the crowd.<br />

AJK Thompson are such a warm and friendly company offering<br />

affordable quality repairs and services alongside their garage<br />

forecourt and shop. AJK work for the all of the major motoring<br />

clubs and their ethos of excellent customer service extends to<br />

J&J Super Hawk for Victoria<br />

It’s been 10 years since Victoria<br />

<strong>Recovery</strong> last had a new Powerlift<br />

on their fleet but changing trends in<br />

terms of casualty vehicles have swayed<br />

Lee Ricciardi to reassess his fleet<br />

requirements for this year. Historically<br />

Victoria have consistently replaced their<br />

12 T slidebeds like for like, on a three year<br />

rota but, this year the dynamics have<br />

changed and Victoria have gone retro.<br />

J&J Conversions are renowned for<br />

their stunning ‘Super hawk’, Power lifts,<br />

a conversion designed with a stainless<br />

steel modular body, twin hydraulic lifting<br />

rams, hydraulic load levelling and front<br />

counter balance. Lee opted to have his<br />

new Spec lift fitted to a new 7 T Iveco Daily<br />

as it’s agile and compact, a key factor in<br />

changing form a 12 T slide bed, but also it<br />

has great functionality with its 2 T under<br />

lift: ideal for operations around Bristol and<br />

Bath’s increasingly congested streets and<br />

incredibly hilly terrain, not to mention it<br />

is compliant with the new LEZ regulations<br />

which continue to roll out across the<br />

country.<br />

Personal<br />

Well-being<br />

Here we go again, I can hear it now. I hope you can spare<br />

some time to read this, it may change your attitude on health.<br />

By Frank Taylor<br />

So, well-being, what’s it all about. We<br />

have seen the TV advert’s; it’s been<br />

brought up on courses.<br />

We are being told to talk to someone if we<br />

feel that we are having issues, that’s a good,<br />

strong recommendation, but it doesn’t fit<br />

everyone. It didn’t fit for me to start with.<br />

Got your attention now?<br />

I suffered, and I mean suffered with very<br />

poor mental health for 14 years before I<br />

realised. That’s the problem, sometimes<br />

an individual doesn’t realise, that’s where<br />

mates come in, colleagues, switched on<br />

managers, who realise someone isn’t firing<br />

on all cylinders.<br />

What happens, how’s it caused? I have<br />

single point PTSD and Complex PTSD.<br />

Single point PTSD can occur because of a<br />

single incident that is traumatic enough to<br />

over stress the mind.<br />

Complex PTSD can occur over a lifetime,<br />

each event, whilst traumatic in itself, is not<br />

severe enough to bring on PTSD.<br />

PTSD is essentially a memory filing error<br />

caused by a traumatic event.<br />

It’s worth pointing out that the majority<br />

of people exposed to traumatic events<br />

experience some short-term distress which<br />

resolves without the need for professional<br />

intervention although unfortunately the<br />

small proportion who do develop the<br />

disorder are unlikely to seek help. Instead,<br />

most battle on despite their symptoms and<br />

their quality of life is likely to be substantially<br />

reduced; evidence suggests that around<br />

70% of people who suffer with PTSD in the<br />

UK do not receive any professional help at<br />

all. The disorder also impacts upon loved<br />

ones, work colleagues and more widely too.<br />

The defining characteristic of a traumatic<br />

event is its capacity to provoke fear,<br />

helplessness, or horror in response to<br />

the threat of injury or death. Examples of<br />

traumatic events include:<br />

• Serious accidents<br />

• Being told you have a life-threatening<br />

illness<br />

• Bereavement<br />

• Violent personal assault, such as a physical<br />

attack, sexual assault, burglary, robbery, or<br />

mugging<br />

• Military combat<br />

• Miscarriage<br />

• House fires<br />

• Natural or man-made disasters<br />

• Terrorist attack<br />

• Traumatic childbirth (and as a birthing<br />

partner)<br />

• Prolonged bullying<br />

• Childhood neglect<br />

• Your exposure to traumatic event can<br />

happen in one or more of these ways:<br />

You experienced the traumatic event<br />

You witnessed, in person, the traumatic<br />

event<br />

• You learned someone close to you<br />

experienced or was threatened by the<br />

traumatic event<br />

• You are repeatedly exposed to graphic<br />

details of traumatic events (for example,<br />

if you are a first responder to the scene<br />

of traumatic events) An event is often<br />

referred to as a Stressor, it can be an<br />

activity, constant pressure to perform, over<br />

0<br />

Car Crash<br />

Heart Attack<br />

45<br />

worked. Events can be a death, severe illness<br />

(cancer) road traffic accident, financial<br />

problems, divorce or marriage, childbirth.<br />

We live our lives at a certain level of stress<br />

anyway, mainly due to the modern lifestyle.<br />

Let’s think about how you live your life.<br />

How many hours do you work, 50-60-<br />

more? And then when you get home, you’re<br />

on standby, but there is also a list of jobs<br />

to do a mile long, and then there’s the<br />

taxi service for ballet, football, drop me in<br />

town Dad, Dad I missed the last bus. When<br />

do you switch off? Take the time to track<br />

EVERYTHING you do, work and at home.<br />

After that let see how we are doing with<br />

any stressors we may have encountered.<br />

A sheet of paper and a large crayon is<br />

required, someone help the Ops manager,<br />

on the left Zero, and the right your age. Now<br />

think about the most stressful event of your<br />

life and rate that up the scale 3 to 20, why<br />

3, because you’re already at 2.<br />

So, you can see how it builds up, but<br />

if you have already built-up stress and<br />

experience just one more…. It’s like a<br />

bookshelf from Ikea, keep stacking the<br />

books on, it starts to bow until one day, one<br />

book to many and it snaps.<br />

The subjects to be considered are:<br />

Stress<br />

Stress is the adverse reaction people have<br />

to excessive pressure or other types of<br />

demand placed upon them (source HSE)<br />

Any interference that disturbs a person’s<br />

healthy mental and physical well being<br />

(source British Medical Association)<br />

Causes<br />

Conflict<br />

Frustration<br />

Insecurity<br />

Fear<br />

Life events<br />

Bullying, which can be verbal.<br />

But let’s not get confused here, there is<br />

some stress that is motivational, we achieve<br />

goals, boost our memory, solve challenges,<br />

How do we know we are stressed?<br />

Increased heart rate, Feeling nauseous,<br />

Palpitations, Perspiration, Rapid breathing<br />

Insomnia, Lack of or increase in appetite,<br />

Headaches, Muscular tension<br />

Skin disorders, Tiredness, Lack of<br />

Motivation<br />

Another exercise, piece of paper, left side<br />

what you do that stresses you, right side,<br />

what others do that stresses you.<br />

I bet the left side is empty. We get<br />

stressed about things we do not control. If<br />

you have no control over something, don’t<br />

worry about it because you can’t change it.<br />

Anxiety and a Panic Attack or<br />

different<br />

Anxiety, we are all anxious about something,<br />

worried, fear, unease. Fight or flight?<br />

Causes. Going for Job interview, snapping<br />

a winch rope!! Sitting an exam, Hospital.<br />

Panic Attack. An exaggeration of the<br />

body’s usual response to fear. A rapid build<br />

up of physical sensations which brings on,<br />

Increased heart rate – chest pain, Feeling<br />

nauseous, Palpitations, Perspiration, Rapid<br />

or difficult breathing.<br />

Most attacks last 5-20 minutes and come<br />

on quickly, what did you do to trigger it.<br />

How about a near miss?<br />

Is this how you Feel? Do I have<br />

depression?<br />

Depression has a range of different<br />

symptoms, and it can affect everybody<br />

differently. The symptoms include feeling<br />

very tearful, feeling hopelessness and<br />

sadness, and losing interest in things you<br />

enjoyed before. It’s also common for people<br />

with depression to have symptoms of<br />

anxiety.<br />

Physical symptoms happen with<br />

depression too – these can include feeling<br />

tired all the time, getting poor sleep, losing<br />

your sex drive, losing your appetite, and<br />

feeling aches and pains.<br />

If the symptoms are mild, you might<br />

simply experience a persistent low mood.<br />

It’s common to feel stressed, sad or anxious<br />

during difficult times in your life, and a low<br />

mood can get better after a short time,<br />

rather than being a symptom of depression.<br />

Severe symptoms of depression can make<br />

people feel suicidal – as if life is no longer<br />

worth living.<br />

So, this is starting to get a bit long, which<br />

hopefully shows that the topic of Well Being<br />

cannot be covered in 5 minutes.<br />

I started by telling you of my own<br />

experience, a little bit more on that.<br />

What did I experience?<br />

What really tripped me to the edge was<br />

a heart attack, medics administered 26<br />

injections to control the incident, 4 2.5<br />

mgs Morphine. You could say I was in the<br />

brown sticky stuff. But it was after that I<br />

first slid into Mental Health problems, for 18<br />

months I had to sleep with the landing light<br />

on, Anxiety. Gradually it got worse over the<br />

years until finally I was in a mess.<br />

Weeping, a classic symptom. This would<br />

happen at any time, sometimes when I was<br />

driving, and for no reason. During adverts,<br />

I never did work that one out. The news,<br />

mainly when Afghan was on.<br />

Then there the sharp needle like stabbing<br />

pains in my head, like a massive pin prick.<br />

Part of my job at the RHA as Area Manager<br />

was to visit members. Sometimes I just<br />

could not go through the gate, so I blagged<br />

it on my reports. Then the addiction got<br />

bigger. We look to something to comfort<br />

us. We know that, but when it’s happening<br />

you don’t. I would often have sleep issues,<br />

I feared going to sleep in case I didn’t wake<br />

up. I was addicted to food, the actual<br />

eating was when I was calmest, what I ate<br />

didn’t matter, I could have 2 or 3 breakfasts<br />

in a day, have fish & chips followed by a<br />

bacon butty. None of it was fruit and veg.<br />

I guess in a way I was lucky it was food and<br />

not alcohol or drugs.<br />

Other addictions can be;<br />

Drugs, Alcohol, Sex, Gambling, anything<br />

that gives pleasure and escape. It was<br />

when other symptoms are, retracting from<br />

society, I stopped attending re-unions, I<br />

felt guilty of things that were nothing to do<br />

with me. I started to deliver a Well Being<br />

Specialfeature<br />

course for the FTA. After I had delivered<br />

about 5 or 6 it felt to close, it was dawning<br />

on me that I was actually talking about<br />

most of what I was feeling.<br />

I sought help from a local charity<br />

in Beeston nr Notts, Forces In the<br />

Community, of whom I am so grateful, I<br />

turned up on the doorstep, rang the bell.<br />

I was greeted with a welcome so warm<br />

and open. I was frozen, could not talk,<br />

and then this massive rush of emotion and<br />

out it came. The help came in the way of<br />

understanding my problems and listening,<br />

this was quickly followed by guidance.<br />

I decided to use the NHS web site and<br />

took the quiz to see what happened. I<br />

submitted my results and within 2 weeks I<br />

was attending my first appointment with a<br />

Psychiatric Counsellor, Ah, Stigma, I didn’t<br />

care, and rightly so, why is there so much<br />

stigma attached.<br />

It would be 6 months before I told my<br />

wife, I was too ashamed. In fact, I never<br />

told anyone. I told her in the kitchen,<br />

we were getting tea ready, its tea where<br />

I come from not dinner, and she said<br />

something and once again out come the<br />

emotions, I broke down and told her what<br />

was happening.<br />

I still have issues, but I manage them<br />

now, I recognise the triggers, I take<br />

medication, Sertraline, which also took<br />

away the sharp pains in my head. Sertraline<br />

boosts the production of Serotonin which<br />

I was not making. The weeping, Anxiety,<br />

Depression has all but gone.<br />

If there is one thing, I would like you to<br />

take away from reading this, someone,<br />

just like me, might not be aware there is<br />

something not right, its mates that will<br />

wonder, cos mates will see the changes in<br />

moods and behaviour.<br />

Remember if Jaunty Jovial Jeff isn’t so<br />

jolly, what’s wrong with him?<br />

Oh yes, how many near misses have you<br />

had this week?<br />

QUALITY CONTROL<br />

from Boniface<br />

One of the last processes that Boniface undertake<br />

before delivering a truck to a customer is testing, this<br />

is undertaken to establish stability and to check the<br />

structural integrity of the equipment and the interface between<br />

equipment and chassis. Recently they tested a unique vehicle<br />

built for Crouch <strong>Recovery</strong>, a Mercedes 6X6 chassis installed with<br />

an Interstater MK6. The equipment was installed with two huge<br />

Sepson 30,000KG winches mounted side by side on bespoke<br />

mounting arrangement that allows the operator to observe<br />

operations from the safety of a platform installed in front of the<br />

winches. To provide all round recovery operation the chassis has<br />

a front winch installed on a ballast bumper, the PTO has been<br />

configured to allow the driver to both winch and drive up to 10<br />

kph. Being able to undertake winching and driving simultaneously<br />

is a significant advantage when having to self-recover, the winch<br />

when operated independently can be deployed forward when<br />

either more ground anchorage is required or when access to a<br />

casualty is limited.<br />

When testing stability the boom lifts till the front wheels are<br />

clear of the ground, the load noted in both the closed and<br />

extended under lift positions, the load that can be carried within<br />

the front axle capacity is calculated. The boom capacity can<br />

be tested with the legs at the rear deployed, an Interstater has<br />

a capacity of 33 tonnes retracted and 9 tonnes extended, a<br />

product that has been developed by Boniface over the last 40<br />

years. The experience gained by Boniface over the years and their<br />

investment in testing provides many customers the confidence to<br />

purchase the Interstater as their recovery equipment of choice.<br />

Further testament to Boniface’s engineering is Crouch’s<br />

request for a bogie block device to be designed and fitted to the<br />

Mercedes 6x6, a device that applies a load to the rear axle, this<br />

has the effect of increasing the theoretical wheel base, during the<br />

test the axle loads at the rear were measured while the load was<br />

applied to the boom. The testing demonstrated a 10% increase in<br />

stability, which significantly improves the towing performance of<br />

what is an extremely versatile truck for Crouch.<br />

If you would like to know more give Boniface a call on 01842<br />

754232 and one of their friendly knowledgeable staff will be<br />

happy to talk you through the product range. Alternatively, visit<br />

Crew Cab the 3T VLA has all the same working attributes as its<br />

big brother but adapted to fit the smaller Iveco chassis in order<br />

to maximise the payload whilst offering great fuel economy and<br />

retaining the ability to carry multiple passengers. The chassis<br />

has a suspended driver’s seat, air conditioning, heated electric<br />

mirrors, Bluetooth DAB stereo and alarm all of which are standard<br />

specification for Boniface’s stock vehicles.<br />

The 3T VLA has an extremely low loading angle and the<br />

bed deployment is via single button operation on the radio<br />

remote providing ease of use and reliability day in day out. The<br />

changeover switch on the remote control allows the operator to<br />

switch from bed to winch operation without having to return to<br />

the vehicle - minimizing the time on the side of the road for the<br />

operator.<br />

The VLA equipment was tailored to meet Isis’s requests with<br />

LED work lights, 1.6 metre LED beacon with stop tail repeaters,<br />

front strobes, 4 side winching points, chassis mounted wrecker<br />

kit, illuminated stainless steel lockers and heavy duty wheel<br />

skates which were stowed on the chassis. The vehicle also has<br />

front strobes mounted in the grill with the rear strobes being<br />

mounted on the tilt frame ensuring they are visible when the<br />

bed is deployed and the rear lights are covered - a new feature<br />

to help keep the operator safe on the side of the road. All of<br />

these items were in addition to the standard rugged aluminum<br />

bed, 8000lb hydraulic winch and a fully galvanized subframe and<br />

tipping frame which provides years of rust-free operation. The<br />

hydraulic winch can be manually adjusted via the sliding winch<br />

carriage, allowing the operator to keep a straight line pull and<br />

maintain good winch rope management when side winching or<br />

loading vehicles onto the bed.<br />

Boniface Engineering would again like to thank James Weedon<br />

and the team at Isis for their returning business and look forward<br />

to working with them again in the future. If you are interested in<br />

acquiring the Boniface VLA or any other of the Boniface product,<br />

give them a call on 01842 754232 and one of their friendly<br />

knowledgeable staff will be happy to help. Alternatively, visit their<br />

IVR and Copart UK announce<br />

National programme of Electric<br />

Vehicle Training<br />

IVR approved instructors were honing their skills this week, in preparation<br />

for a national roll out of the IVR VR27 Electric (EV) and Hybrid Vehicles<br />

module to Copart UK drivers. The training will be delivered through a series<br />

of 1-day courses which are due to be delivered over the next four months.<br />

An industry leader in used and salvage car handling, boasting<br />

17 physical UK locations covering over 432 acres of vehicle<br />

storage, with over 30 years’ experience Copart UK handle<br />

more than 400,000 vehicles every year, remarketing and recycling<br />

vehicles on behalf of the insurance sector, fleet, lease and hire<br />

companies, trade sellers and the general public.<br />

High standards<br />

The IVR are delighted to announce that Copart have chosen to<br />

partner with the IVR, understanding the high training standards the<br />

IVR VR modular system delivers for the recovery industry within the<br />

National Highways Sector Scheme and within PAS43 it’s the right<br />

choice for Copart.<br />

The right decision for this forward-thinking market leader,<br />

choosing to promote the same high standard for drivers of their<br />

own 250-strong multi-car transporter fleet, by having the IVR<br />

deliver their VR27 Electric (EV) and Hybrid Vehicles module.<br />

The course itself encompasses the VR27 with some additional<br />

bespoke elements specific to the salvage sector and the vehicles<br />

used within that sector - all delivered with 7 hours of Driver CPC<br />

included.<br />

A practical, realistic, no nonsense approach<br />

It is no secret that the percentage of alternatively fuelled vehicles<br />

compared to combustion engine vehicles is set to grow significantly<br />

as we edge towards the 2030 deadline and the pace on EV training<br />

is set on the same trajectory.<br />

Chris Hoare, IVR Chairman explains.<br />

“Although the salvage sector is different in<br />

a number of ways to the recovery industry<br />

there are some clear parallels. The VR27 is a<br />

course that can easily transcend into other<br />

sectors, it gives a practical, realistic, no<br />

nonsense approach to the hazards associated<br />

with electric/hybrid vehicles and delivers<br />

a practical application in the workplace.”<br />

Chris continues, “There has been an over<br />

complication of the issues and some irrelevant<br />

content is out there in other courses but the<br />

IVR provides a realistic approach to a ‘not so<br />

new’ situation. EVs have been recovered by<br />

this industry for quite some time, after all the<br />

Toyota Prius is now almost 21 years old in the<br />

UK, first launched in late 2000.”<br />

Ultimately the IVR approved training<br />

providers can only train those who step<br />

forward to be trained, the VR27 is a 1-day<br />

course which will give vehicle recovery<br />

technicians as well as other parallel industries such as salvage, all<br />

that they need to know to recover these vehicles safely.<br />

Duncan MacRae, Head of Performance, Quality and Risk<br />

at Copart, said: “As a market leader in vehicle remarketing<br />

and recycling, we have made significant investment into a<br />

comprehensive training programme to enable our drivers and<br />

engineering force to work safely and competently with EVs and<br />

hybrids as the popularity of these vehicle types steadily rises.<br />

We’re pleased to continue our close relationship with the<br />

recovery industry by partnering with the IVR, who will deliver key<br />

elements of our training programme as we continue to lead the<br />

way in the handling of electric and hybrid vehicles on behalf of our<br />

customers and partners.”<br />

Morar Motors<br />

collect new accident unit<br />

from Roger Dyson<br />

It is always a pleasure to see the lads from<br />

Scotland and on this occasion, Colin didn’t<br />

make the journey so his two drivers travelled<br />

down via Yorkshire, Derbyshire and the West<br />

Midlands, working on their way down and<br />

bringing their MAN TGM in for a repair at the<br />

new Roger Dyson Service Centre before the<br />

handover of their latest P230 Scania accident<br />

unit.<br />

The vehicle was finished in the striking Morar<br />

Motors silver and corporate signwriting and<br />

wouldn’t be complete without the Scottish flag<br />

displayed on the headboard and the lockers to<br />

compliment the vehicle identity.<br />

This is an extremely capable accident unit<br />

with the Amco Vebra 38 TM lorry loader<br />

crane with remote control and five hydraulic<br />

extensions, the Dyson Hydraloader 10,000 SLa<br />

super low approach body and the upgraded<br />

type 8 second vehicle lift with L arm wheel<br />

grids.<br />

Big thanks<br />

from<br />

the Tow Show<br />

Team<br />

A BIG THANK YOU!<br />

Big thanks to Roger, Tony and Jain at Roger Dyson<br />

for their fantastic and ever positive support.<br />

We look forward to welcoming team Dyson back<br />

in 2021 as Hall 3 sponsor.<br />

The options and extras that Colin added<br />

included a front winch, stainless steel<br />

lockers and damaged free lifting equipment,<br />

which not only made the vehicle look good,<br />

but more than capable of any accident<br />

or recovery operation that Morar may<br />

encounter moving forward.<br />

The two drivers, after receiving some<br />

induction training on the equipment, left for<br />

the long 12 hour drive back to the Isle of Sky.<br />

I think this clearly makes Colin MacDonald<br />

<strong>Recovery</strong> Operator Safety Kit<br />

for HV electric and hybrid vehicles<br />

With the potential dangers<br />

that high voltage electric and<br />

hybrid vehicles can pose to<br />

all recovery operators, Prosol UK have<br />

utilised their experience in this field to<br />

produce a dedicated safety kit. Supplied<br />

in a convenient high vis’ holdall with<br />

everything you need to ensure safe<br />

working procedures as recommended by<br />

IMI training and H.S.E. standards.<br />

As Andy Coulton, MD of Prosol UK,<br />

stated: “Understandably there is a lot<br />

of confusion regarding how this type of<br />

vehicle should be approached”. He went<br />

on to say, “With the high DC voltages<br />

involved it is essential that recovery<br />

operators are protected and well<br />

informed as to how these vehicles can be<br />

made safe . . . just 110VDC can be fatal.”<br />

Bear in mind that many current EV’s use<br />

batteries with an output of up to 650VDC<br />

and newer models as high as 1,000VDC.<br />

Andy continued: “We have been<br />

developing our product range in the<br />

EHV (electric and hybrid vehicle) sector<br />

for over four years now, having worked<br />

closely with industry training and<br />

safety professionals to gain a thorough<br />

understanding of the risks and working<br />

procedures required. Based on this<br />

knowledge I can confidently say that<br />

Prosol UK only supply what you need.”<br />

Andy explained to us the reasons for each<br />

item in their HV Electric & Hybrid Vehicle<br />

<strong>Recovery</strong> Operator Safety Kit.<br />

Face Shield with Electric Arc Visor: To<br />

protect your face and eyes from electric<br />

arcs.<br />

Electrical Safety Glove Kit: Contains<br />

dielectric gloves to Class0 standards to<br />

prevent electrocution and Over-Gloves<br />

to protect from thermal arc and prevent<br />

damage to the dielectric gloves. Also<br />

contains cotton under-gloves to improve<br />

comfort and dexterity.<br />

Electrically Insulating Dielectric Over-<br />

Boots: To prevent electrocution if<br />

exposed to high voltage.<br />

No Voltage Present Detector: Gives you<br />

the ability to prove that the vehicle is safe.<br />

Insulating Shrouds for 12V Aux Battery:<br />

By disconnecting the 12V Aux Battery<br />

Earth Cable this will open the HV relays,<br />

which effectively isolates the main power<br />

battery. Once disconnected the Earth<br />

cable should be protected with a shroud<br />

to prevent accidental contact during<br />

transport.<br />

Battery Terminal Disconnect Spanners:<br />

Flexi-Head Combi’ Spanners (10,11<br />

&12mm), the most popular sizes and type<br />

for disconnecting the 12V Aux’ Battery<br />

Earth terminal.<br />

First Aid Kit for Burns including H.F. Gel:<br />

To treat thermal arc burns, also contains<br />

a skin contact antidote to Hydrofluoric<br />

Acid which can be generated if a Lithium<br />

battery is damaged and electrolyte leaks<br />

combines with water.<br />

EHV Warning/Prohibition Warning Signs x<br />

3: To alert others of potential dangers.<br />

Hazard Warning PVC Barrier Tape: To alert<br />

others of potential hazards.<br />

High Vis’ Holdall: Easily recognised and<br />

keeps everything to hand.<br />

Andy also commented: “Whilst<br />

the Safety Kit gives you the relevant<br />

products you need to protect yourself<br />

and employees on a call out you will<br />

also need a vehicle quarantine area<br />

if you have a storage compound for<br />

recovered vehicles. It is important<br />

that EHV’s are clearly identified and<br />

isolated during storage, Prosol’s solution<br />

for this is simple, cost effective, and<br />

follows the recommendations of vehicle<br />

manufacturers standards.” He explained<br />

how the following products will fulfil this<br />

obligation:<br />

Damaged Electric Vehicle Quarantine<br />

Area Sign: A high visibility sign to warn<br />

of dangers. Printed on a 600 x 400 x<br />

3mm Aluminium Composite Panel and<br />

laminated.<br />

Vehicle Isolation Covers: Stored or<br />

damaged EHV’s should be covered to<br />

prevent metallic or conductive dust from<br />

causing electrical short circuits.<br />

Battery Spill Containment Tray - 60 Lt<br />

capacity: Spill trays should be deployed<br />

under EHV batteries to prevent electrolyte<br />

escaping into absorbent surfaces including<br />

tarmac.<br />

In closing, Andy felt it important to<br />

highlight the necessity for training. “If<br />

you, or your employees are exposed<br />

to the potential dangers of EHV’s,<br />

recognised training is a must. For those<br />

who are involved with making vehicles safe<br />

(isolating the HV battery), the minimum<br />

training qualification is IMI Level 2 - and<br />

if working on the high voltage system, IMI<br />

Level 3.”<br />

On top of the full range of light and heavy<br />

a range of specialist recovery equipment. This<br />

includes off road recovery capabilities including<br />

the Unimog; a four wheel drive winching tractor<br />

with winching capabilities of 20 tonne plus.<br />

It’s fair to say they get their share of the more<br />

‘interesting’ jobs, proprietor Paul Attwater<br />

explains: “One job springs to mind; National<br />

Highways had an off road winching job for<br />

Railtrack over in Kent. We had to use a spider<br />

excavator on the embankment to stop it sliding<br />

down.”<br />

“Off road recoveries have kept us busy with<br />

our usual recovery work. We’ve just bought an<br />

NRC Euro 6 DAF and a Euro 6 four axcle tractor<br />

unit.”<br />

A Long <strong>Recovery</strong><br />

A look at the vast array of vehicles in the A Long <strong>Recovery</strong> fleet<br />

shows they are more than capable of the most extreme of off<br />

road recoveries, as well as the ‘normal’ light and heavy jobs.<br />

As you can see from the pictures above, they’re also specialist<br />

in the recovery, reapair and restoration of military vehicles.<br />

Proprietor Andy Long comments: “Things have been slow over<br />

the past 18 months, especially on the bus and coach side but<br />

the heavy commercial recovery has kept us going.”<br />

OFFROADRECOVERY<br />

Midhurst Engineering<br />

Due to our rural location we do carry<br />

out a multitude of off road recovery<br />

jobs every year especially in the<br />

winter when tracks become muddy or<br />

frozen or ditches disguised by snow<br />

or undergrowth. Numerous 3.5Ton<br />

grocery delivery wagons get stuck trying<br />

to deliver to remotely located houses<br />

either on narrow tracks, or getting<br />

either bogged down or stuck on banks<br />

trying to turn their vehicles around, I<br />

do have some sympathy for the drivers<br />

on occasion as access issues are well<br />

known to all operators and we have to<br />

remember that the people driving these<br />

food delivery vehicles are only mere<br />

mortals on a car licence not experienced<br />

roadside & recovery operators.<br />

One of the off road jobs that really<br />

sticks in my mind was a private one<br />

only a couple of miles from our base in<br />

Midhurst when a chap got his Landrover<br />

stuck whilst instructing a course on off<br />

road driving and this was in the sunny<br />

month of June too!<br />

We utilise the Unimog for bigger jobs<br />

and burnouts in the woods of that are<br />

difficult to access and the Landrover for<br />

easier more straight forward jobs but<br />

they are both really great tools in the<br />

right hands. The roadside and recovery<br />

operators also seem to enjoy the variety<br />

that these jobs provide and as long as<br />

you don’t have to travel too far then they<br />

are a lot more fun to drive than a service<br />

van or lorry.<br />

It is important to be able to offer<br />

customers a one stop shop of services<br />

and we are always being recommended<br />

by word of mouth as somebody local on<br />

hearing of somebodies plight will always<br />

say: give Midhurst Engineering a ring they<br />

will help you.<br />
