Express Trailers has this year been trusted again with the transportation to Malta of 10 classic cars from the United Kingdom due to participate in the fifth edition of the Mdina Grand Prix. The event, which is fast becoming one of Europe's most interesting classic car races, will be attracting around 65 classic car owners mostly from Malta, the UK, Italy and for the first time, from Australia.
Express Trailers is the largest operator to and from the UK. When it comes to car transportation, the company is a leader in the sector where it's two car transporters are constantly completing trips to and from the UK on a weekly basis.
"Being trusted with the transportation of such prestigious and priceless collectables confirms the high reputation that Express Trailers enjoys in the sector," comments Franco Azzopardi, Chairman and CEO of Express Trailers.
"The organisers are fully aware of the risks involved in transport and logistics of such vehicles but they are also aware that our business is into risk and that our job is to use our experience, our infrastructure and the expertise of our professional people to minimise this risk. The success of Express Trailers is built on a great team and it is the combined effort that always ensures a safe and seamless delivery. This is why people want to work with us - because we don't just deliver but we deliver trust," added Franco Azzopardi.
Josef Abela from the Mdina Grand Prix's organising committee notes how safety remains at the top of the event's agenda all the time. "We are constantly aware that a serious accident or mishap can jeopardise the event. From months ahead, many people are involved with the safety aspects both with the competing cars , the general public and the circuit safety. As organisers, we carry out various risk assesments together with the relevant authorities and experts like the CPD, Red Cross, Police and the Local councils involved."
Collaboration with Express Trailers started from the very first event in 2007 with its active involvement in the logistic operations related mainly to circuit construction and dismantling. As the event evovled into an international one, Express Trailers started supporting with the tranportation of foreign participating cars to Malta.
"The great thing of working with a reliable company like Express Trailers is that we always found them when we needed them most. In 2011 for example, a number of protective hay bails wre stolen overnight from inside the circuit without which the Sunday event could not start for safety reasons. Express Trailers came to the rescue when on Sunday morning at 5:00am they transported new safety equipment in literally less than an hour from when we contacted them," recalls Josef Abela, one of the organisers.
"We know that with Express Trailers, the Mdina Grand Prix is in very safe hands. We saw this even a year later during the 2012 edition when Express Trailers successfully transported ten Bugatti racers from all over Europe including the UK , France and Italy," added Josef Abela.
Just like Express Trailers' commitment to deliver the best service, the Mdina Grand Prix Foundation strives to deliver the highest standards especially as we keep promoting this event on the international calendar for classic car racing. In order to deliver the best possible product one has to naturally be supported by the best possible brands and service providers. Express Trailers is one such brand," concluded Josef Abela.
