Children With Cancer UK
This year we are fundraising again for Children with Cancer UK.
Chris and Gary on August 4th are going to be riding the Prudential Ride 100.
Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 starts from 05:45 in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, then follows a 100-mile route on closed roads through the capital and into Surrey’s stunning countryside. With leg-testing climbs and a route made famous by the world’s best cyclists at the London 2012 Olympics, it’s a truly spectacular event for all involved. The Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 finishes on The Mall in central London.
The week after the ride, Chris will be doing a Wing Walk. Yes that’s right strapped to the wings of a plane whilst in flight, oh my not many would be up for that. The earliest known instance of a wing-walking on a powered aircraft was an experimental flight in England involving a biplane built by Colonel Samuel Franklin Cody in 1911 and it’s still going strong.
But all the training and pain will be worth it to raise funds for this serious cause. Raising money for this worthwhile cause and helping so many children to ring the End of Treatment Bell is our goal. So come on everyone please help us to help these brave children and their families.
All donations are greatly appreciated by all and can be made following our link to

Helping to Keep Cars Moving
One of today’s jobs was helping to keep cars moving to their new owners around the UK. All 11 cars on the transporter were on their way to a new destination when the hose burst. This left the driver unable to unload. Oh no, that’s not good. But that’s why here at MHS we are only a phone call away, no matter what time of day or night. It didn’t take our engineer long to get the hose repaired and the driver on his way again.
Every vehicle at some point will have indeed been on a transporter. Today transporters can carry up to 11 vehicles.
Their design with hydraulic ramps means each ramp can be lowered or raised giving them a smooth approach.

Gritsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Anti-Slip Machiney
Today we helped the local Council prepare the Gritsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Anti-Slip Machiney so that it is ready for whatever the weather decides to bring, they shall be ready to keep the streets moving.
This little Gritter was given it’s name after more than 40,000 people voted on the local authorities poll on Twitter back in 2017.
Some of the other machine name suggestions to make the final were;
- David Plowie
- Basil Salty
- Spready Mercury
The council currently has five named gritter vehicles: Brad Grit, Gritney Spears, The Subzero Hero, Mr Plow and Usain Salt.

Wentworth Woodhouse
Yesterday we had the pleasure of being involved with Wentworth Woodhouse and their New Life The Master Plan 2018. Well we repaired the machine that is helping with the repairs.
Wentworth Woodhouse was once the home to the Fitzwilliam family. The house is now a grade 1 listed building. They are planning to spend a huge £150 million which set out the future of the house.
We were called out to repair the JLG 1250AJP. This machine has a massive 38.30m (125.7ft) platform height, with a reach of 19.25m (63.2ft) which is perfect for the hard to reach places!
