Fun Fact: When she joined the company, she discovered that her father, who had held various Transport and Logistic manager roles in Hull during the 1970s and 1980s, held the John Good Group in high esteem. Her father even reminisced about the old offices, locations, and the railway warehouse currently used by TEPS. He even confessed to having sneaked into the warehouse to look at the trains, only to be politely thrown out!
