The Charles Gee Group have successfully delivered out of gauge aircraft nose cone tooling to the Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Co. Ltd. in Hong Kong.

The Charles Gee project support team collected the consignment from Manchester where it was manufactured by the Hyde group and provided a door to door service to Hong Kong. Utilising own group transport equipment and our local Hong Kong office the Charles Gee project support team were able to manage the whole operation from start to finish, including delivery to the client during the hours of darkness to comply with local traffic laws.

The Charles Gee Project Support team engages all areas of Charles Gee Group experience and capability including our global office network to provide specialised supplychain solutions for our customer’s sometime complex requirements.

C&H (Hauliers) Ltd, a Charles Gee Group Company, has announced the launch of additional loose waste Walking Floor trailer services to Europe. Long established as carriers of forest products, C&H (Hauliers) has expanded its Walking Floor trailer operations by adding an additional 10 Le Gras 13.6m Walking Floor trailers coupled with DAF XF 105 FTG 460s. These additions serve to complement the already well established service.

Steve Mercer, Managing Director, comments “This strategic position adopted by ourselves has been created to enable us to continue to grow this specialised service. We are now in a position to continue to serve our, already established, forest products customer base as well as being able to address the new business enquiries that we were previously unable to satisfy with our fleet profile.”

Mr Mercer continued to explain that the additional vehicles are specified for European operations with a four metre running height and maximum cubic capacity. The floors are strengthened to enable access into the trailer for MHE dock loading and deliveries plus the ability to “walk” loads in and out. This specification, overall, makes the equipment extremely versatile, with most types of cargo carried from loose paper to reels of paper ‘on end’ loaded with clamp trucks.

Tilbury based C&H (Hauliers) Ltd., operates 95 tractor units and 270 trailers from five operating centres with the South East. Last year saw 1.9 million tonnes of forest products moved by C&H (Hauliers) Ltd., with an expected volume growth of 10% for 2011 whilst developing its services to new and existing customers.

The Charles Gee Group is pleased to announce the launch of a new Group company: Charles Gee Bridgwater Ltd.

Located outside Bridgwater, Somerset, alongside the M5 motorway, the new company provides local access to the Charles Gee Group transport network and services including:

• Daily air freight connections to our air freight hubs in London Heathrow and Manchester airport
• Daily connections to our global freight forwarding hubs in Tilbury, Liverpool and Hull
• Consolidation and storage service for consignments to and from the USA

Formed in 1960 by Charlie Salzts and Harry Hughes in the East End of London, C & H (Hauliers) started business with six secondhand vehicles undertaking general road haulage. Nearly 50 years on, the Company now runs over 70 vehicles and over 200 specialised trailers operating out of depots in Tilbury, Chatham and Felixstowe and has become the leading paper distribution haulier in the UK. With a client base that covers small operators to multi-national blue chip companies, C&H now transports in excess of 1.5 million tonnes of Forest Products annually.

The Charles Gee Group of Companies is very pleased to announce that, owing to continued growth, expansion and development across different sectors of our business, a new Group structure is being created to better reflect the Group's portfolio of business and to give a clearer understanding of the services offered throughout the Group. This will bring greater efficiencies, accountability and transparency for directors, staff, shareholders, suppliers and customers alike.

Under our new structure, Charles Gee Group Ltd. will eventually own, control and manage all areas of Group business. All group companies will operate as subsidiaries of the new company with overall ownership remaining with the present owners and shareholders. The Group will not only remain just as strong and as financially secure as before, but will benefit from the far greater transparency of the new corporate arrangements, giving us a more appropriate structure to build on Charles Gee & Company's solid trading, sound investments and good business practice of the last 122 years.
