Hello From the UK (Essex on the east coast)

[Zoggie]

Dear All 

 

My real name is Paul my nick name is Zoggie ( that nick name is another story)

 

I am a tow operator in the UK! I grew up in the industry in my parents business like many of you I am sure. Our company's name is Service On Site Limited created in 1973 at the same time I was and was HOOKED at the age of 3.and spent most of my life with my dad and his tow trucks and in the workshop.  In 2004 I bought the company from my parents and created into a Limited company. website: www.recovery-central.com 

 

In June 2016 I experienced what I can only explain as an eye opener as one of my VRO's  got struck working roadside. (not killed) The way I would describe  it is when you live near a railway line you can't hear the trains! This woke me up to the train noise. So started asking what are we doing about this in our industry? and I started to building the Slow Down or Move Over Safely Campaign in the UK with some amazing people. 

 

Please take a look at www.slowdownmoveover.uk we have come a long way in 2 years and it's only in it's infancy.

We are on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Instagram. 

 

We have also built an shopping cart and a apparel  to raise funds to help build more awareness and support getting the message out there to SLOW DOWN or MOVE OVER Safely

 

Thank you for your time
