As the director / CEO of "Customised Travel Limited" I can recommend the services provided by "Ross Leafe / Leafes Logistics Limited".The area I am in suffers a incredible shortage of PSV Transport Managers (Or there in good ones !). The screening process done by Ross is second to none as the Transport Manager I have acquired (Not a easy task) with his help is superb.Andrew KosickiCustomised Travel Limited

Ross has already got my first role liked up as a Freelance TM, he has supported me all the way through the process and is always there to help out on the other end of the phone. Im looking forward to taking on more roles with Ross at Leafes Logistics
