When trolls attack

We have all seen or even experienced a troll attack at one time or other I am sure. I know I have.

So how do you deal with it ?

( Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,^[1] by posting inflammatory,^[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response^[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.<sup>[4])

As a business a troll is similar but different to a negative review which requires attention a troll does not. The same is true as a person. 

The world is full of negativity and trolls feed on this it is natural to want to attack back, but don't this is what they want your feeding their ego the felling of self worth and more importantly the negativity they are spinning out.</sup>

Hull my Hull

Hull is many thing both good and bad , but that why I love it , Hull is real not foney or artificial and that is what matters.
Hull is not what many think it is, it can surprise you in so many ways.

Hull is a nothern city sat in our own little corner of England sort of tucked away but not at the same time, on the edge of everything but not it what makes us so different.

Our logistics/light haulage wing

Clark trading group

Clark Trading Group (CTG)

Our logistics/light haulage wing

We all know there are quite a few delivery company out there. What makes us different.?

1. Our driver has 20 plus years experience of driving HGV class one all across the UK and Europe. This has enabled him to develop a vast knowledge base, of the geographical lay of the Uk. In those years on the road he has delivered a wide range of delicate loads including glass. This means he has had to be a smooth and safe driver.  
2. Our Large Ford Transit is a lot newer than the type of van many similar companies us. Mean our carbon foot print is lower than many similar companies. 
3. Our Csr policy (Mentioned and discussed numerous times on this blog)
4. We Support Charity Dove House Hospice  
5. We offer the possibility of same day bookings and delivery or next day etc,  
6. We are a small family owned business 
7. The fact we are also a trading company selling a wide range of products (Can you delivery company offer that?) (including PPE )

WE are now The Clark trading Group part 2

Has anything changed expect the name?
Yes and no

The yes is we are now doing new services and looking at even more new services and products.
The no The logo is still the same it is still the same team the same everything in that sense the only changes are for the good new services.

We are now the Clark trading Group

We have changed the company name to Clark Trading Group.

But Why ?

With the natural progression from been solely a market  trader and on-line trader to a delivery company/light haulage and market trader and on-line trader.
The current name did not fully reflect our new more diverse service offering
