Richard Platts, shipping manager The company's shipping manager Richard Platts is also based in Goole. Under Platts's remit, the company oversees everything from aircraft, ship or barge charter to onward transportation at the cargo's destination.
''In effect, we take over once the transport department has delivered a oiece of project cargo to the quayside. The same would apply to imports or shipments that do not touch UK shores," he reports. In essence, this means heavy-lift 'turnkey shipping solutions', down to lashing and securing. In addition to European operations, Platts recently oversaw the delivery of a multi-engined diesel powered generating plant to the Caribbean, where Collett used its own road transport equipment from start to finish.
"Our guys will load the cargo in the UK and deliver it to the ship. A couple of weeks later they fly out to begin the process of final, onward delivery. It's a complete end-to-end service."
