A couple of interesting interviews have also just appeared on the site: Tim Ward, MD of Northside Truck & Van (Motor Transport’s Dealer of the Year 2007), talks about expansion and investment; and Bob Wrigglesworth, operations director of drinks wholesaler WaverleyTBS, explains his quest for greater efficiency.

Again, don’t forget to check out our special CV Show page for links to all the latest news from the NEC – and the RT TV video report from the second day of the show is now available to watch, with the third one coming later today.
