HAULAGE business Scott Bros is driving its expansion with computer technology - thanks to the firm next door.

The company, in Thornaby, Teesside, needed a computer system that would embrace all aspects of the business, from accounts preparation to daily transport sheets.

Neighbours MCS Computers, which specialises in providing equipment and support services, came to the rescue. It was able to provide Scott with a system tailored specifically to the needs of a busy transport operation.

Robin Lush, Scott Bros' transport manager, said: "We are an expanding business and had reached the point where we needed to invest in technology to support our growth.

"MCS Computers tailored the computer system to meet the specific needs of the business and, so far, it has lived up to all our expectations."
