BK Sameday moves into new distribution centre


BK Sameday moves into new distribution centre


BK Sameday have done it; hard work does pay off, several months of pounding the UK motorway’s, driving in the lovely countryside, town to town, building the reputation by doing the job with professionalism.

Now the fledgling Sameday Courier company has moved into a new distribution centre, based in Trench Lock, the new facilities have moved BK onto the next level, the move enables them to stock items for other businesses and to hold the deliveries overnight or until shipment is due.

It also enables them to offer cheaper delivery for people who are looking at shipping items but aren’t in a rush, with BK vans visiting most parts of the UK over the week, they ensure they will deliver at the cheaper rates when in that area.

Managing Director, Ben Coates said “I am building the business on honesty and hard work, I have understood the need for a new distribution unit, but finances have taken a while to build to such a level to sustain it, I have been under pressure at home from the wife as my garage has been packed, however of course I have been unable to hold certain items due to room and security, but because of this new premise will we hope attract new customers, who need reassurance that their goods can be bought in or shipped out with care and trust”

“We value every customer who comes on board, from the public to the biggest or corporates, we have done an array of jobs, from Morrison’s meat for its Christmas photo shoot, to a rather expensive coffee table for a boat down to Cornwall, and we protect their goods and ensure swift delivery, we also delivery samples to major supermarkets, including Sainsbury’s, and no matter how tempting, we never eat the sample food”

The move into the premise has taken place over the August Bank Holiday weekend, the new address is BK Sameday, Unit 20, Trench Lock 3, Telford, TF1 5ST, to contact BK Sameday please call Ben on 07738 715038, or e-mail ben@bkbusinesssolutions.co.uk.

Athletics you should be ashamed

The IAAF is killing its own sport, today we, the paying public who contribute the money towards the sport, was robbed of seeing the show man that is Usain Bolt by what is a ridiculous rule, sprinters need a fast start, and at times that can be a mistake, but why take what people are paying to see out of the race, the sport really must re-evaluate this stupid one false start rule.

Surely we want to see the best, we want to pay to see history, how is kicking the man that everybody went to see, out of the greatest race that we all love, entertainment? Simple, it isn’t and the idiots who run the sport will cost itself money, it also is a worry for the forthcoming London Olympics, if you pay the prices for the main events, yet half of the top competitors are disqualified for a minor mistake, are you going to be happy and return to the sport? No!

Usain Bolt was clearly a false start, but even though I don’t think the bloke should be in the sport, Dwain Chambers was extremely unlucky, he never even left his blocks today when he was kicked out, but until sports ruling bodies understand that they are there to maintain the sport, rather than act like little Hitler’s who want to be centre of attention, then the financial rewards they could reap will never materialise.

The people in the stadium today must feel robbed, of course there has to be a limit, but was there really so much wrong with the old two start rule? Surely London’s organisers must lobby the plonkers at the IAAF and explain that the British public do not want to see half a field in the 100 metres final, or their own British stars watching the women’s 400m final because they made a slight mistake, we want and demand to see the best athletes in the best competitions, now take your pride, admit you had not foreseen it could affect things like it did today, and we, the public that put money in your pocket, will be happy, and maybe you will keep the major sponsors too.

STOP PRESS! – MUM GETS THE HOUSE, DAD GETS THE KIDS!

So what’s a guy do on finding himself suddenly and unexpectedly divorced, heartbroken and with two young and very demanding children to raise alone? Well, first he hits the bottle ‘big time’ and falls into the mother of all depressions! Then, little by little, he picks himself up, dusts himself down and starts to put the broken pieces of family life back together. Battling against life’s many adversities and trying to make sense of the ensuing chaos, he strives to give his children as normal a life as is possible and above all else, stability.

Single Parent Brian Rowlands, at the age of 36, found himself in this unenviable position. Not only did he rise to the challenge though, he wrote a book about it!

Charting a remarkable ten year journey of joy, heartbreak, despair, discovery and re-adjustment, his book, ‘The Life Of (A Single Parent) Brian!’ documents the surreal events in this single parent family’s life, taking the reader along for themselves on his family’s amazing rollercoaster ride of joy and pain, relationship disasters, medical problems and constant moving home, (to mention just a few things!). Told in an open and honest manner, Brian lays it on the line, baring his soul to the world in a true story that will leave the reader
gasping for breath and wanting to know just what happens next!

“It made me laugh, it made me cry, once I’d started reading it I couldn’t put it down"

What they went through in ten years is simply amazing!”:  Sheryl Miller-

Enjoying a March 2011 revised edition release and available in three formats, Hardback, Soft cover and downloadable eBook, I would be delighted to receive your enquiry for further information and, should you require, am available for  immediate interview.

In conjunction with the release of his debut book ‘The Life Of (A Single Parent) Brian!’ author Brian Rowlands has put together a website that not only backs up his book but offers parents of all types and standing the opportunity to discuss parent related topics in his Discussion Forum. Say’s Brian, “I strongly believe that any parenting problem can be overcome that much easier if we are prepared to seek out help and advice. My Forum offers any parent, single or in a partnership, the chance to talk things through with others in a similar position. Obviously I’m ultimately hoping to generate interest in my book, but this is a ‘side project’ that really excites me and I can’t wait to get involved.” 

Brian’s website is up and running and online now at www.thelifeofasingleparentbrian.co.uk

Premier League Weekend 1


So we are back up and running, but nothing has really set the world alight, but it is early days, let’s start the round up with two six pointer relegation battles, yes even this early there were two important games.

Wolves won at Blackburn in a crucial game between two sides that face a relegation battle, of the two Wolves seem to be in the better position, they have unity at the club and the board seem to want to assist the manager, Blackburn, in my opinion, will be lucky to finish 19th, so a crucial victory for Wolves.

Norwich and Wigan was the other game and this ended all square, these are two sides that I want to survive, they have given young managers the chance, and I hope this proves correct, Norwich has always been a side that I have admired, always played good football as is the tradition, Wigan are a club that has a great manager and an even better chairman, Martinez always acknowledges the game and shows his love for football by trying to do things the right way, and in conjunction with Dave Whelan, who is refreshingly honest and business savvy, I want them to survive, so a point shared was a reasonable start.

For the pretenders to the crown, there were no real signs of improvement, Chelsea were the same, robotic side, no new faces of note, and no creativity in the side, they are a big unit who try to overpower sides, but up against Stoke, they met their match, we also saw the horrible side of the game with Torres and Lampard throwing themselves to the ground in a way my five year old son does, then John Terry making the ref aware he should feel sorry for them.

Arsenal, I don’t think, we can consider as genuine title contenders, I believe they are in a battle for 4th place with Liverpool, neither side impressed the weekend, Arsenal look short of freshness and new ideas, the headlines from St James Park will be about Joey Barton, who for the record did nothing wrong, he got stamped on and slapped and has now been hung, drawn and quartered from all angles, shocking, but back to Arsenal, with more exits before the end of the month, Wenger needs a trophy signing, his philosophies simply don’t work now, and even his own crowd must be coming to the end of understanding with him.

Liverpool clearly have a better squad this year, but do they have the squad to challenge the top four, it is clear that three clubs are far and away better than the rest in Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea, Dalglish is playing catch up from far back and he has bought good British players that will make them more competitive, but they lack the factor that makes them serious contenders, and this was clear to see in their opener at a much improved Sunderland, I fully expect Sunderland to be in the top 8 this season with the signings made by Bruce.

The champions of last season, showed why they will be champions again this season, the opening 30 minutes of the game at West Brom was the best football of the weekend by a long way, coupled with the second half demolition of Man City last week, they are exciting to watch, the second reason they will win the league was that even though they were below par second half, they still found a winner from the impressive Ashley Young, most people will be doubting the new keeper, but look at Reina when he first joined Liverpool, the great Dane when he first joined Utd, plus many other keepers that take time to settle, he will come good.

Fulham and Aston Villa should end up mid-table and this was giving further credence by a 0-0 draw against each other.

The surprise team of the year will be Bolton, and their thrashing of QPR was the ideal start, no matter what the problems are at QPR, it is impressive at the way Bolton hit the ground running, as for QPR, I expect they will be in the bottom three alongside Blackburn.

So without a home win all weekend in the Premiership, it is now down to Man City to rectify that against Swansea, a tough start for the swans against one of the top three sides this season. We will see.
