We were approached by a timber haulier who had been working as an employee of a large woodyard since leaving school. He basically transported wood around the North, delivering to the large timber mills, and he had always dreamt of having his own business. He had approached his employers to see if he could buy a timber vehicle and trailer from them in order to set up his own business. They agreed and said that they would allow him to continue working for them as a subcontractor, although future work would not always be guaranteed.
