Firstly thanks John and Joe for using the forum,
As I explained this morning to you both I have already started involving sales and cso with a view to getting more work into the plants mentioned. There are a number of reasons for work being turned away whether its truck availability ( saturdays are a real problem across the region ), price, job type, customer account issues to name but a few.
I have asked the sales rep for each of your areas and the sales manager to visit your plants on a more reguler basis to talk about certain jobs ior issues that you are having. I agree there is nothing worse for a plant to sit watching competitors driving past our door or hear of competitors being busy when we are quiet, but if we all know the reasons why and they are explained to us then it quickly puts rumours to bed.
I will be in touch soon to see how it is progressing.
