Staffing Policy

  We are structured to be as flexible as possible. This means that we can use drivers and vehicles anywhere in the country regardless of location or size. We do not, therefore, run a large fleet or employ many drivers. We currently have two small vans and employ two drivers.  We also use a small group of known drivers who live in the region but we have many others we have come to know over the years who live and work around the country. All are properly processed before being placed on our books.

  We are unable to support individual drivers and will, as a matter of policy, only use established drivers and firms who also have other sources of work.

  We are not primarily office based although we have a substantial           administrative infrastructure, which is maintained principally by our director working from home which also facilitates our ability to operate on a 24/7 basis. This, we believe, is the way forward in the modern age.

Peter Rayner

Director

 Peter has an unusual background for the transport industry having spent some 25 years of his life as a consultant in child and family psychotherapy. He has an academic background and was a pioneer of new forms of strategic family therapy. He served on the first set of committees at the Association for Family Therapy and helped to organize its first annual conference at York University in the 1970’s.

 He was also chair of the British Association of Social Workers in Manchester and District following his return from Germany where he worked for the Ministry of Defence. He organized many media events and was a regular broadcaster in the 1980’s.

 His change of career to transportation came about by accident but reflects his broad interests in life and desire to keep moving forward. He does not believe in working just for the sake of it. There has to be a genuine interest. Also, he wanted to see if he could run his own business. Events since Aardvark began in the mid 1990’s suggest he was successful.

 Following a heart attack in 2005 he spends more time writing (see his blog) as well as keeping Aardvark running.
