REDDITCH specialist multi temperature supply chain operator Oakland International has extended its onsite parking and washing facilities for visiting drivers.
Alongside a new canteen, the extended showers and toilet block will be fully operational from May and dedicated solely for visiting drivers.
Open every day of the year, except Christmas Day, drivers have access to the family-run firm’s facilities which are open to hauliers needing planned and unplanned short and long-term parking.
Distribution manager Luke Attwell said: “We’ve been developing our onsite lorry parking and driver facilities for some time, seeing demand steadily increase and needed more recently during the current restrictions.
“Drivers are offered a free coffee and a ‘grab and go’ bag which is being funded jointly with Golden Acre Foods during this time of Covid-19, as we have created new dedicated recreational areas for staff.
“Drivers help themselves to a free sandwich from our outside fridge with hot drinks available from our drivers’ canteen. We’re always open to suggestions on how we can improve and love to see drivers ‘checking in’ on site.”
