...there's snow business, like paper merchanting!

It seems like we've again hit one of the challenges that the weather in this country occasionally throws us. Snow fall has again been pretty heavy and our vehicles have taken a little digging out of the snow.

As I've mentioned on this blog before, paper is extremely heavy and needs moving around and I guess many people reading this blog may think about samples, dummies and the nice examples of finished work but the paper still has to be moved around by heavy duty vehicles. Anyway, I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know that we haven't missed any of our deliveries or let anybody down (...yet!)

Snow nearly stops play!

Well I can't say that snow has exactly been welcomed here at Fenner Paper! One of the problems with paper is that it's very heavy and needs moving around and I guess many people reading this blog may think about samples, dummies and the nice examples of finished work but the paper still has to be moved around in a fairly industrial way, or not, as you can see from some of our snowbound vehicles...

As well as delivering paper, we have to take in deliveries, which can also be problematical in the snow:  
Here's Tom clearing the snow, so we can unload the truck with a forklift. The weather shouldn't be too much of a surprise to these pallets of paper as this truckload has come from Sweden where it's currently -11°C and snowing every day!
