He absolutely loved the experience – even if it meant working some longer hours than usual. “We were based at the Blair Estate, Dalry where a number of the delegates were staying,” says Matthew. “Our main task was taking them to and from the Scottish Exhibition & Conference Centre and Glasgow Science Park, COP26’s main venues. We also did some trips to collect delegates from Glasgow Airport. We were working twelve hour shifts but the time just flew by. Matthew was driving a Volkswagen ID3, his first experience in an electric vehicle. “It was smooth and comfortable,” says Matthew. “I’d have no hesitation buying one. Although it did need recharging more often when the weather got a wee bit colder.” Electric Zoo’s Jean Hay described the Driver Hire team as: “Fabulous. Everything ran smoothly and they received plenty of positive comments on how professional they were.” Specialist People Services Bradford Business Park, Kings Gate, Bradford, BD1 4SJ info@spsgroup.uk.com Terms and Conditions Privacy Policy Cookie Policy facebook twitter google plus linked in youtube © 2021 Specialist People Services
