Yorkshire firm sends aid convoy to Ukraine

[ February 2, 2023   //   ]

Yorkshire-based vehicle security and van fleet compliance specialist, HH Driveright, and an employee from sister company J M Hall Couriers, are transporting much-needed humanitarian aid to Ukrainian families and orphanages.

Stuart Davison and Mitch Mitchell, both from Selby, have already made seven trips to the Ukraine and invested many thousands of pounds of their own money, to ensure Ukrainian families and orphanages have vital supplies.

They will be joined on their latest mission by another driver, Ian Wilson, who also works at JM Hall Couriers. Knowing that he needed financial support in order to take part, and did not have time to raise funds, HH Driveright stepped in and offered to cover his expenses as his sponsor including the ferry crossing and fuel.

In addition, JM Hall Couriers has provided him with a van from its fleet and arranged all the necessary cover for the vehicle

The mission is transporting items that organisations such as the Red Cross cannot take to the Ukraine, due to the limitations on their remit.  This includes quilts, sleeping bags, dried food, sanitary products and warm clothing.  

Goods generously donated by people in Selby and its surrounding area have also been taken to London by van and then repacked into theree ambulances, which are in huge demand in the Ukraine. The convoy has now started trip across mainland Europe. Updates will be posted by HH Driveright at www.hhdriveright.com
