We are pleased to announce that we have completed the move to our new premises. Whilst we have remained in Worthing, West Sussex, the long term base for Transcan, we now have the benefit of a purpose designed production facility.
Michael Kane, Sales Director for Seven Telematics comments "Most business would probably not automatically choose to undertake such a move in the current climate, however we feel that continual review of our operating procedures throughout the economic downturn has highlighted significant efficiencies that can deliver very sensible savings for Seven Telematics". Michael adds "revenues have dropped for just about all of our customers, almost without exception, yet for all of us costs continue to increase, insurances, fuel and raw materials etc the list is ever growing. Only by highlighting efficiencies have we been able to make the bold step to ensure that we keep our costs to a minimum and yet still deliver an exemplary service level"
Ian Webber, Production Manager of the new facility is very happy to share his views, "It is a very pleasing process to be able to design a dedicated production centre, our manufacturing processes are now all under one roof. Quality is paramount as our reputation is very important particularly in today's market, all areas of the factory now benefit from a more structured "flow" design and development through to final product testing and dispatch runs better than ever"
Ian also is very keen to showcase his new system, extending a warm welcome to any customers that would wish to visit.
The Leading sandwich specialist Pret a Manger has taken delivery of Mercedes Vito vehicles which have been converted by specialist fridge body builder Paneltex for chilled food distribution operations, using a GAH Lancer direct drive fridge unit to ensure the range of Pret goods are carried at the optimum temperature range.
The vehicles have been fitted with Seven's own satellite vehicle tracking system, "Seven Eye" giving Pret a complete real time view of their fleet of vans. This enables Pret to have optimum utilisation at all times when delivering their products on time every time.
Pret also use electric vehicles to transport their food across central London. The new chilled Mercedes vehicles will be used in regional locations as a more practical, longer distance solution to their electric vans.
Dennis Distribution are a family owned distribution company based in Malton, North Yorkshire. Primarily involved in chilled distribution for a number of very high profile clients. The bedrock of the Dennis business is customer focus and a high quality personal service.
Temperature monitoring is a vital part of this service ensuring full compliance with UK and EU regulations governing the transport of perishable foods.
Andy Slack, Dennis Distribution Commercial Manager explains '"Traceability in the Cold Chain is vital in order to give our customers total confidence that their products are handled correctly ensuring quality and even more importantly food safely. The majority of our entire fleet is equipped with Transcan recorders, which provides our customers with a full record of temperature control whilst their products are in our care"
Seven Telematics Ltd, has scooped a prestigious international award from one of the world’s leading health and safety training, advisory and audit bodies.
Following rigorous assessments by an independent adjudication panel the British Safety Council has bestowed its esteemed International Safety Award on Seven Telematics Ltd.
For an organisation to win this coveted award it must demonstrate that it has in place comprehensive health and safety policies, targeted plans and a clear commitment to health and safety from the shopfloor to the boardroom. It must be committed to the promotion of a positive safety culture. The winning organisation must also have demonstrated the competence of those responsible for the management of health and safety and provide evidence about the improvements they have achieved in health and safety during the year.
Mr Brian Nimick, Chief Executive of the British Safety Council, says: "For more than 50 years, BSC has led the way in promoting health, safety and environmental best practice in society. In the 21st century, many organisations worldwide are understandably making health, safety and environmental management their top priority.

These awards recognise the crucial success that these organisations and their employees have achieved in their pursuit of excellence in the management of health, safety and environmental matters at an international level. The event provides an opportunity to publicly recognise the important contribution made by the British Safety Council in promoting health, safety and environmental best practice.
