🏃🌍 Global Running Day 🌍🏃

Today is all about celebrating running. Whether that’s a quick jog around the block, training for a marathon, or simply trying to outrun the British weather ☔😂

A few fun facts about running:
🏃 Running can burn over 600 calories per hour
🏃 The average marathon runner takes around 50,000 steps during a race
🏃 Millions of people across the world take part in Global Running Day every year
And while we may not be marathon runners… logistics can sometimes feel like an endurance event too 😅

Planning routes, managing ferry schedules, handling collections and keeping deliveries moving across the islands certainly keeps us on our toes.

🏃‍♂️ Are you trying to get running gear over to the islands?
👟 Do you own a shop that stocks running apparel or sports equipment?
🏋️ Maybe you’ve found a fantastic deal on a treadmill or gym equipment on the mainland but have no idea how to get it to Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Wight or the Isle of Man?

That’s where we can help.

At Breakwells, we help move everything from boxed goods and retail stock to larger awkward items and specialist deliveries.
So whether you’re running a marathon or running a business — why not give us a try? 🚛

🚛 LOGISTICS MYTH BUSTING 🚛

There are a lot of assumptions about transport and deliveries… so we thought we’d clear a few up 👀

❌ MYTH: “More tracking scans means better service.”
✅ REALITY: More scans often mean more depots, more handling and more chances for delays or damage.

❌ MYTH: “All transport companies do the same thing.”
✅ REALITY: Some services involve multiple depots and subcontractors. Others (like ours) focus on keeping deliveries as direct as possible.

❌ MYTH: “Cheapest is always best.”
✅ REALITY: Delays, damage, poor communication and hidden extras can quickly cost more in the long run.

❌ MYTH: “Island deliveries are just normal deliveries on a ferry.”
✅ REALITY: Ferry schedules, customs paperwork, weather disruptions and vehicle restrictions all need careful planning behind the scenes.

❌ MYTH: “Once goods leave the depot, the job is done.”
✅ REALITY: Good logistics is all about communication, planning and solving problems before they become bigger issues.

At Breakwells, we’ve always believed transport is about much more than simply moving goods.

It’s about reliability, communication and making the process as smooth as possible for customers from start to finish.

🚛 What actually happens before your delivery arrives?

Most people only ever see the final part of the journey…. The delivery arriving at their business, shop, warehouse or home.

But in logistics, a huge amount happens behind the scenes before goods ever reach the final destination.

At Breakwells, the process often starts days before a vehicle even leaves our depot.

Goods arrive into us from suppliers all across the UK and are carefully planned, organised, consolidated, and loaded for onward delivery to Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man.

Behind every delivery is:
📦 Warehouse teams carefully handling goods
📞 Office staff coordinating collections and schedules
🚛 Drivers working to strict delivery plans
⛴ Ferry bookings and timing considerations
📋 Customs paperwork and island regulations
🗓 Route planning and load planning

And because island logistics comes with extra challenges like ferry schedules, weather disruptions, road restrictions and tight delivery windows, planning really matters.

One thing we’ve always believed at Breakwells is that good logistics should feel organised long before the delivery arrives.

That’s why we focus heavily on communication, careful handling and keeping things as direct as possible with minimal handling along the way.

Because to us, transport is not just about moving goods from A to B.

It’s about making the whole process smoother, safer and less stressful for customers from start to finish.

⚽ Women’s FA Cup Final ⚽

It’s a big day for football as the Women’s FA Cup Final takes centre stage 🏆

A competition full of history, passion, and incredible talent and every year it just keeps getting bigger and better 👏

From grassroots right through to the final at Wembley, it’s a great showcase of the growth of the women’s game and the dedication behind it.

Whether you’re watching from the sofa, in the pub with friends, or keeping an eye on the score between plans - we hope you enjoy the game ⚽🍻

At Breakwells, we love seeing the energy, teamwork, and determination on display, it's qualities we like to think we share in logistics too 💪

🚛 May… where do we start?

It’s been a busy one 👀

Here’s just a snapshot of what we’ve been up to this month at Breakwells 👇
📦 Customer service at the heart of everything we do
🚛 Direct deliveries - loaded once, delivered once
🏝️ Keeping Guernsey (and all the islands) moving
🚚 Our specialist fleet doing what it does best

Alongside that, we’ve also seen:
🏍️ The start of the famous TT Races
💚 Mental Health Awareness Week
🩸 World Blood Cancer Day
💂‍♂️ VE Day & Liberation Day - remembering and reflecting

…and of course…
🎉 TWO Bank Holidays (we weren’t complaining!)
☕ International Tea Day - keeping the drivers fuelled 😉

It’s safe to say May has been a mix of busy days, important moments, and plenty happening behind the scenes.

Now… onto June 💪

🚛 Office vs Drivers… who has it harder? 👀

We thought we’d settle this once and for all…

Office Team:
📞 Phones ringing non-stop
📧 Emails piling up
📍 Tracking every delivery
😅 “Where’s this load?” (for the 10th time today)

Drivers:
🚛 Early starts (very early…)
🗺️ Navigating tight island roads
📦 Delivering all sorts of goods
☕ Surviving on tea and determination

Different roles… same goal 👇
Making sure every delivery gets where it needs to be, on time.

We might joke about it… but it takes both sides working together to keep everything moving 👍

So… be honest…
👉 Would you rather be in the office or out on the road?

🩸 World Blood Cancer Day 🩸

Today is about raising awareness of blood cancers — including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma and supporting those affected 💛

A few important facts:
• Someone in the UK is diagnosed with a blood cancer every 14 minutes
• Blood cancers are the 5th most common cancer in the UK
• Early diagnosis can make a significant difference

Some symptoms to be aware of (not medical advice):
• Persistent fatigue or weakness
• Unexplained bruising or bleeding
• Frequent infections
• Night sweats or fever
• Unexplained weight loss
• Swollen lymph nodes

If something doesn’t feel right, it’s always worth speaking to a GP.

Support & resources:
💛 Blood Cancer UK – information, support and guidance
💛 Macmillan Cancer Support – advice for patients and families
💛 NHS – trusted information on symptoms and next steps

At Breakwells, we understand how important reliable logistics can be, especially when it comes to healthcare, specialist equipment, and supporting people who rely on deliveries from the mainland to the islands.
If you’re a healthcare provider, clinic, care home or support service on the islands and need reliable transport or items handled with care and attention, we’re here to help.

🚛 Ever wondered what actually causes delays in logistics?

It’s easy to blame traffic… or even ferries 👀

But in reality, most delays happen before your goods even hit the road.

Here’s what we see time and time again 👇
📦 Goods waiting to be consolidated at ports
🔁 Multiple handling between depots
⏳ Shipments held until a full pallet is ready
📍 Lack of clear communication

All of this adds time… and risk.

At Breakwells, we do things differently:
✔ Goods are loaded once at our depot
✔ Sent out on the next scheduled delivery
✔ No unnecessary transfers between depots
✔ Clear communication from start to finish

Because getting your goods there quickly isn’t just about distance…
It’s about how many times they’re handled along the way.

If delays have been creeping into your deliveries, it might be time to look at a different approach 👍

🚛 Specialist Fleet – Built for the Channel Islands 🚛

Not all delivery vehicles are suited for the Channel Islands… and that’s where we’re different.

With narrow roads and strict size restrictions across Jersey and Guernsey, standard UK trucks often just aren’t practical. That’s why at Breakwells, we operate a purpose-built fleet designed specifically for island deliveries.

What does that mean for you? 👇
✔ Direct access across the islands
✔ Door-to-door deliveries
✔ Two-person delivery team as standard
✔ Tail lift included
✔ Fully tracked shipments for peace of mind

Our vehicles are also equipped with winches and curtain sides, making them ideal for high-value, fragile or awkward items — handled with care from start to finish.
We work with businesses, suppliers and households every day, making sure goods arrive safely, securely, and without unnecessary handling.

And it’s not just the Channel Islands…

We also provide the same reliable service to the Isle of Man and Isle of Wight.
If you’re looking for a trusted, family-run logistics partner who understands island deliveries inside out — we’re here to help 👍

🌼 Spring Bank Holiday 🌼

Another long weekend is here… and for many, it’s the last Bank Holiday before the summer really gets going ☀️

Whether you’re taking the time to relax, catch up with family and friends, or make the most of a well-earned break - we hope you enjoy it!

At Breakwells, things don’t completely stop…
🚛 Some of our drivers will still be on the move
⛴️ Making sure goods are in place and ready for the week ahead

Because in logistics, it’s often the work happening behind the scenes (even over a Bank Holiday) that keeps everything running smoothly.

Enjoy the long weekend!
