Thank you to Mike of JM Dean for his thoughtful actions to help a fellow driver in distress. We received this lovely email from Christine Baylis telling the story……
“Last Friday, 31st July, about 4 pm, I had dropped my granddaughters off at Gloucester Services, back to their parents, and was on my home to Coventry on what was the hottest day of the year, when something odd happened to my car.
I smelt burning and pulled off the M5 to a slip road leading north to a roundabout towards the M50. I started panicking and wasn’t sure what to do. Suddenly, a CEMEX vehicle, driven by Mike of JM Dean Transport, pulled up in front of my car. Having seen the smoke, he stopped and got the hose from his vehicle and proceeded to put out the fire before the whole car went up in flames.
It was quite some time before the fire brigade arrived. I don’t know what would have happened had it not been for Mike’s actions and his considerate, selfless attitude. He was a real knight of the road and such a credit to your company.
I would just like to put on record my heartfelt gratitude to him and to thank him for his modesty and care which reflected so well on your company. I do hope that you will be able to recognise his total dedication to really amazing health and safety considerations. Thank-you all so much.”
Kindest regards, Christine Baylis
