Hull is and always has been shaped by two rivers the Hull and the ''Humber'' far from been a barrier they were and are Hull's live blood.
And far from been based in the middle of know were in Hull Clark trading is based in a port city that is the 4th busiest port complex ( with the other Humber ports ) in Europe and of course the gateway to Europe ( and yes I mean Hull ) +ABP HULL

London related questions ( Deliveries )

A few question regarding our deliveries

Q Do you go into the London Congestion zone
A Yes we can/do
Q Will that affect the price
A Yes we add £12.50 on top the congestion fee that is all that is add

All of London Including stretches of the M1 , M4 are in the London low emissions zone with the exception of the M25

Q So is your van/s Lez compliant
A Yes our van/s are all Euro 6

The streets in London are busy and crowded and in some places narrow (the Same can be said for many UK cities ) so in many case a van like our Luton's are the largest things that can get in
