HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS

SADLY LAST WEEK GEH LOST THE SERVICES OF UNCLE RICHARD AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS
RICHARD MOUNTAIN WAS RECOMMENDED TO US BY ANOTHER SADLY DEPARTED EX GEH AND JMI DRIVER CHRISTIAN UNDERWOOD. WHEN WE NEEDED SOMEONE TO FLY OUT TO TAKE A TRUCK ON TO PORTUGAL/UK. RICHARD COMPLETED THE JOB AND AS SOON AS A JOB CAME UP HE WAS THE MAN TO CALL. IN THE 10 YEARS I HAVE WORKED WITH RICHARD I CAN HONESTLY SAY HAND ON HEART WE HAVE NEVER HAD A CROSS WORD AND FOR ME THE ONLY WAY I CAN DISCRIBE HIM IS IRREPLACEABLE. HE WORKED FOR MANY HIGH PROFILE HAULAGE COMPANIES IN HIS NATIVE LINCOLNSHIRE AREA BUT MOST PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER HIM FOR BLAZING THE NORTH AFRICAN TRAIL FOR JOHN MANN. HIS LAID BACK ATTITUDE TO ANY DAY TO DAY SITUATION IS A LESSON TO US ALL, THIS IS BY NO MEANS DETRIMENTAL TO THE MAN WHO WORKED DAILY TO BE THE BEST OF THE BEST AND TO ME THEIR IS NO DOUBT HE PROVED AND ACHIEVED THIS ON A DAILY BASIS UNTIL HE WAS TAKEN ILL. RICHARD WILL SADLY BE MISSED BY ANYONE THAT EVER HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO MEET HIM AS HE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE AND A KIND WORD. IF THERE IS LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE AND GOD WANTED A DRIVER TO DO A JOB WHO'S PATIENCE AND ABILITY WILL BE TESTED EVERY DAY HE HAS TAKEN THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB RICHARD HARRY MOUNTAIN 1945-2016 (UNCLE RICHARD)

A VERY SAD DAY HAS I HAVE HEARD GEH HAS LOST IT'S NO1 EVERY DRIVER BRIAN CAWTHERLEY ( AKA) JAG JOE
NOT ONLY A PERSONAL FRIEND HE WAS THE TRUE MIDDLE EAST LEGEND AND HAS BEEN TO PLACES SEEN AND DONE THINGS MOST PEOPLE ONLY DREAM ABOUT. I REMEMBER HIM AND GERRY HILL COMING UP MY DADS DRIVE AT THE AGE OF 6 TO BLAZE HIS TRAIL IN THE DESERT SANDS, MANY ON THE MIDDLE EAST RUN WILL KNOW HIM WELL.
I NEVER GOT TIRED OF HEARING HIS ADVENTURES THROUGH THE YEARS AND WE ALWAYS REMINISCED AFTER HE RETIRED FROM DRIVING FOR GEH IN 2008.
I COULD GO ON FOR EVER WRITING ABOUT HIS TALES AND FUNNY STORIES AND HOW HE MADE MY F16 SIT UP AND BEG ON 2 WHEELS ON THE BRIAN ADAMS TOUR, HIS EARLY DAYS WORKING WITH MY DAD FOR JACK BRADLEY, THE PROP SHAFT STORY (NEVER TO BE FORGOTTON) AND HIS DAYS ON THE FOOT PLATE OF THE STEAM TRAINS KEEPING THE FIRE STALKED, HIS MANY ADVENTURES CIRCLING THE GLOBE AFTER RETIRING FROM GEH
FROM THAT DAY AND EVERYDAY SINCE I HAVE MISSED THE PHONE CALL

NO 1 DRIVER CAWTHERLEY REPORTING - TIPPED ON TIME - CLEAN CMR - HAVE YOU GOT ME A LOAD TO BAGHDAD ??

REST IN PEACE MY FREIND YOU WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED BY ALL AT GEH PAST AND PRESENT

I HAVE HEARD OVER THE WEEKEND THAT SADLY FRANK RUDDY HAS PASSED AWAY. HE WAS THE FIRST DRIVER FOR GEH AND EX DRIVER FOR MY DAD ON THE MIDDLE EAST RUN AND INTERNAL WORK FOR MANY YEARS PRIOR TO JOINING GEH.
WE DID NOT ALWAYS SEE EYE TO EYE BUT I CAN NOT IGNORE THE FACT THAT HE WAS A KEYSTONE IN THE EARLY YEARS TO SECURING REGULAR WORK BETWEEN GEH AND EST WHO HE LATER WENT TO WORK FOR.
HIS DRIVING SKILLS WHERE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND HE COULD PUT A TRUCK IN PLACES NOBODY ELSE COULD AS HE PROVED MANY TIMES ON THE VIDEO SCREEN WORK WHEN WE HAD THE OVER LENGTH TRAILERS.
HIS EXPERIENCE OVER THE YEARS HAD MADE HIM A WELL KNOWN AND RESPECTED MAN WHICH HELPED BUILD THE REPUTATION OF OUR COMPANY TO OUR LONG STANDING CUSTOMERS, AND MY DAD ALWAYS HELD HIM IN HIGH ESTEEM FOR WHAT HE HAD DONE OVER THE YEARS.

I HAVE POSTED A PICTURE OF THE GLOBETROTTER (GBD 456X)
HE DROVE FOR GEH ON MANY EST TOURS AND EUROPEAN WORK, IT IS STILL RUNNING TODAY ON THE MIDDLE EAST WORK IN RIYADH THAT FRANK USED DO FOR MY DAD TAKING BUILDING PRODUCTS BETWEEN JEDDAH AND RIYADH.

AFTER HEARING ON BOXING DAY THE LOSS OF ANOTHER DRIVER I GREW UP WITH AND A DRIVER FOR GEH FOR MANY YEARS,

THE LAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN VERY SENTIMENTAL, ITS BEEN 30 YEARS THIS YEAR SINCE I PART EXCHANGED MY RED ALFA SUD CAR AND DAD LENT ME £350.00 TO BUY A MK1 FORD TRANSIT DIESEL FLAT OFF ANOTHER DEPARTED EX MIDDLE EAST DRIVER
BILLY PRESTON TO START GEH TRUCKING

SO I FELT IT APPROPRIATE FOR ALL ASSOCIATED WITH GEH PAST AND PRESENT TO TAKE A LITTLE TIME OUT TO REMEMBER OUR DEPARTED BUSINESS ASSOCIATES, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES,
