As one of the long standing, large businesses in Dumfries and Galloway are we aim to actively support our local community when we can. This area is a vibrant venue for gala days that allow people from all areas, ages and backgrounds to come together for a fun packed day of children’s activities, riding of the marches and fancy dress parades.
For a number of years our drivers have also freely offered their own time at weekends to support local groups by taking our trucks and trailers along to these events for youth groups, schools and other community groups to use for the parade.
We feel it is important to invest this time into our local communities that support us and it also allows our employees to utilise our equipment to support their own family, friends and neighbours. Our driver’s take great pride in their units and it is great for them to be able to showcase their hard work in our area.
So far this year we have been involved with Guid Nychburris, Annan Gala and the Youth Beatz event in the Dumfries and Galloway area.
Community involvement not only allows us to build relationships within the local area, it gives our employees the opportunity to take ownership of their equipment and get involved with volunteer roles in the their local community.
If you would like to be part of our team, please contact jobs@curriesolutions.com and for all other enquiries please visit our Contact Us page.
Some of our team headed down to Peterborough last weekend to represent the company at the latest Truckfest! Stuart Caldow, Glen Patterson, Glen Wilson, Owan Patterson and Steven Wylie all attended the show. They took with them two of the new DAF units and our popular Scania.
Stuart was successful in picking up a highly commended award. Well done everyone.
Here at Currie Solutions our team of merry elves have been busy thinking up some great ideas to raise money for our local Cash for Kids Mission Christmas appeal! With a little sponsorship from the company they have created not one, but three amazing hampers to be raffled off on the annual Cash for Kids Christmas jumper day on Friday 8th December. There is a drinks hamper, movie night in hamper and a Christmas hamper. Tickets can be purchased at the Dumfries depot from Marion, Claire or Catherine in accounts for only £1 a strip! Various colours available. The winners will be drawn on 8th December. Why not also put your Christmas jumper on and give a small donation to the team to show your support!
Stevie is the longest serving member of our team and has been an asset to the growth of Currie Solutions. He has worked within the office as European Transport manager and on the road across the UK and Europe as one of our long distance drivers.
He is well liked and appreciated by our customers and colleagues alike.
The Board of Directors thanked Stevie for his loyalty and work over the years. Allan Jamieson, Operations Director said:
“Stevie has been a valuable member of our team throughout the years. He has always been reliable, friendly and a team player who will be missed within the business”
On speaking to Stevie we asked what kept him in the job for so many years:
“European driving became my lifestyle as over the years I could be away for up to 3 weeks at a time across countries such as Russia, Scandinavia and the rest of Eastern Europe. I got to travel the length and breadth of Europe and I was always made welcome, met new friends and enjoyed the independence across there.”
After receiving his gifts from the company he expressed his gratitude
“I never expected to receive something as often people are forgotten in big companies such as this.”
Before leaving his truck for the last time, Stevie shared memories from the early days, the 24hr border crossings into Poland, his ice road trucker travels over the Alps in -40 degrees to the infamous Calais crossings and the day before digital.
Not many people know this but he once wrote a book of his travels for his children’s school, we hope that his retirement allows him to create a part 2!
