Hi,
Did you contact cargoes? Any good? Looking at trade plating myself, there's a few companies in northamptonshire, but i really don't know where they advertise.

Sent more details to Cargoes still waiting for a reply did call them and was told they were so busy they had not had a chance to look at it yet.
Did try a firm in Kettering and told them I am 56 and have been doing Chauffeur work with a S class Mercedes going all over the UK and in a suit and tie at all times only to be told WE DON'T USE YOUR TYPE ( what do they want boy racer in jeans and tee shirt )

Hi there,
I did get your message earlier, but haven't had time to reply until now.
Where you live is a little out of my area to be honest. Well, quite a distance really. The furthest East we have people on our books is Leicester area, but this is purely down to our contracts and where our cars have to go (North West, Stoke area or Stratford upon Avon) so we have to employ people ideally within 30 miles of these areas.
This is more to do with mileage and fuelling on final cars as any further out and it then doesn't become cost effective for us or yourself.
