definitely makes business sense. BRS, who pion­ eered contract hire in the UK, can tailor-make a con­ tract to suit a comi)any’s exact needs. As well as providing vehicles in com­ pany livery, a BRS con­ tract offers maintenance, fuel, insurance, adminis­ tration, drivers and a whole host of other options to meet individual com­ pany requirements.

The result is a close control over expenses and no more woiries about unex­ pected transport costs. With the phasing out of

Quite apart from the physical resources needed in terms of equipment and man­ power, the administration aspects required by law e.g. DoT inspection and compliance with construc­ tion and use regulations, is complex to say the least.

In addition, the application of a new Standard Accoun­ tancy Practice (SSAP21) means that financial leas­ ing (and the associated capital value of assets and related debt) will now appear on the published balance sheet. This was not previously the case and therefore made finan­ cial leasing attractive to companies worried about the level of debt incurred and the apparent level of gearing they were operat­ ing at.

Burnley, Steve Fleming, is on hand to help. Steve and his team can handle anything from routine maintenance to major repair work. They’ll plan a maintenance programme for you and even offer the facility of a late shift if you need your vehicle serviced out of normal working hours. Facilities include a superb four-bay work­ shop, paintshop service, steam clean and fuel sup­ ply. As Steve says: “Why give yourself maintenance headaches when services like this are on hand.”

THE Sue Ryder shop in Castle Gate, Clitheroe, had a very special visitor last week. Lady Sue Ryder called at the premises to thank


all the volunteers for their hard work. There to welcome her were Clitheroe Mayor and Mayoress Conn, and Mrs James McGhie. Lady Ryder, who is on tour visiting all the


Foundation shops, spent some time talking to the volunteers at Clitheroe, the first step in her busy schedule. She also signed copies of her new autobiogi’aphy


“Child is my love.” Lady Ryder thanked manageress Mrs Marion
