Technology is meant to make things better. For instance, from between jobs I can make this post, literally sitting in a lay-by waiting for the next booking to start. The latest hands-free door locking, unlocking and opening systems are also now available to make life easier. From the keyless convenience of the Squire Rim Combi, [...]
If you are wondering why this blog has been rather light on the updates, have no fear! We have been busy working.
