  Self Employed Courier Driver

  I have finally taken the plunge and left the motor industry behind, Because of COVID-19 i have re evaluated my priorities and realised that what is really important to me is quality time with my family. The new venture i have undertaken gives me that, puts me in charge with no stress. Grabbit and Run are a very well established courier company in Cambridge and i am proud to be representing them as a self employed driver. The back up team there a quiet a new young team but very professional and have impressed me greatly in the few days i have been associated with them. This is the start of a new era for me, one which i am greatly looking forward to. I will miss the people at Vindis but I will most certainly not miss the job. Show less
