They are low-level, so no heavy lifting. On delivery there are no flaying chains to duck out of the way of and you won’t get several broken pavements as you would from the stabilising feet of a traditional skip lorry.
Being square they are more user-friendly and avoid many of the health and safety issues surrounding the use of large skips. That said, they still have the capacity for most occasions.

Well before he actually started Minibins in January 2004, George checked out the Regtransfers.co.uk website and purchased his first four number plates knowing they would be ideal for the company once it was up and running.
They all had his initials (GAD) on and were prefixed by R10, R20, R30 and R40. The plan was to put them on each of his first four vans. The reason he chose the “R” prefixes was to follow on from the R1 GAD that he had purchased years before, thus maintaining continuity.

In fact George also has R50 GAD currently waiting to go onto another van. R1 GAD will eventually go on his first brand-new van, which won’t be too long now and his dream of a fleet of easily identifiable vans is now well under way.
One reason why George wanted easily recognisable registrations was to make administration easier. For example, when paying congestion charges, trying to remember registrations such as BW51 AMK when filling out forms is made so much easier by these distinguished registrations.

George’s interest in personal number plates also spills over into his private life. He has a Grand Cherokee with the registration 31 GD on and he also owns 29 GD.
His wife Shirley Ann, who works equally hard looking after the administration side of the business, is also into personalised number plates, proudly displaying R1 SAD on her own car.

George says of his purchases, “Not only do these number plates help to create a corporate image, but they also look good.”
In closing George added “After all, I’m a man with champagne ideas on light ale money”.
