Today, the team came together for some festive fun in support of our favorite charity, Break. From Rudolph to reindeer, snowmen to sparkle, we proudly donned our finest (and sometimes silliest!) Christmas jumpers to celebrate the season and raise money for a fantastic cause. A big thank you to everyone who took part and contributed—it’s a joy to spread the holiday spirit while supporting a charity so close to our hearts. #ChristmasJumperDay #TeamWelch #FestiveFun

❄️ "The speed limit is not a target" and other things we have to remind ourselves when winter turns the roads into a spontaneous ice rink! Top tip: If your vehicle aquaplanes, don't panic - you're not suddenly auditioning for Fast & Furious: Frozen Drift. Just ease off that accelerator smoothly! And remember folks, if you see flood water, it's not time to live out your submarine captain dreams. When in doubt, stay out! 🚫🌊 Check out our winter safety guide for more tips on keeping it cool on the winter roads. #WinterIsComing #RoadSafety #LogisticsLife #NoIceSkatesRequired

🌱 Proud to announce another milestone in our sustainability journey! The Welch Group's new 100% electric HGV has just completed its first delivery for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), supporting their vital environmental polar research missions. For 20 years, our Specialist Movements division have been helping BAS transport critical equipment from Cambridge to Harwich and across the UK. Now, we're doing it with zero emissions! 🚛⚡ The delivery included everything from heavy machinery to essential supplies for their Antarctic research stations. BAS's commitment to sustainability was further demonstrated through their use of innovative LoadHogg lids with built-in ratchet straps, adding to the project's green credentials.
