Our staff go the extra mile

Charity work

Longs of Leeds staff members are regularly involved in different charity events, such as the MS Challenge, to raise money to fight Multiple Sclerosis, which Norman Long’s wife Margaret suffered from. The company has provided trailers to create stages at St. Gemma’s Hospice events, and in recent years staff have taken part in Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life.

Team days out

Many of our drivers love to showcase their trucks around the country, and one proud driver was highly commended at TRUCKFEST 2016 in Peterborough. Other recent activities have included a team attempting the Yorkshire Three Peaks in 2018 – although after a panic amongst the team it was decided to do them one at a time. After they completed Pen-Y-Ghent in the blazing heat, that seemed like a wise choice. Maybe for the next climb they’ll pack the factor 50.

Community work

Longs of Leeds is proud to be part of the local community in Cross Gates, Leeds and has worked with youth clubs and scouts, as well as supporting local churches and schools with fund raising, sponsorship and work experience opportunities. We’ve also stored and transported goods being collected for charities in Romania.

Women in the work place

At Longs 16% of employees are women, in roles as diverse as drivers, warehouse staff, traffic operatives as well as business administrators. Almost half of the Longs of Leeds management team are women. At Longs of Leeds we believe our staff should aim high, regardless of gender. We work closely with the Job Centre offering work experience to women – and recently did a talk about women in business. Despite logistics being male dominated, more and more women are joining the haulage industry.
