What do we really go through to source the finest berries for our clients? Well, you could say we dive right in! 😄 In this video, one of our incredible team members (Miroslava Pekna) is literally diving out of a plane with a parachute and landing right near me! I’ve always said that our team is brave, but this takes commitment to a whole new level. Whether it’s sourcing berries from remote corners of the world or jumping from 10,000 feet in the air – we always go above and beyond... 🪂 It’s fun moments like this that show just how fearless and dedicated we are in our pursuit to deliver the very best for our clients. We don’t just work hard, we work with passion and a sense of adventure!✌️ No mountain (or sky) is too high when it comes to finding exactly what you need. Our mission? To source berries as unique as the journey it takes to get them… Drop a comment and tell us: What’s the wildest thing you’ve done for your work? 🌟 #BerryBusiness #SourcingAdventures #FearlessTeam #ClientCommitment #FunAtWork #Berries

Charleston's charm isn't just in its picturesque landscapes and historical architecture but also in the unique ways one can explore its rich history. One memorable chapter in my job journey found me selling carriage tour tickets, an experience that not only introduced me to the heart of Charleston but also offered invaluable lessons in sales, communication, and connection. Mastering the Walkie-Talkie In the bustling streets, coordinating tours meant mastering communication via walkie-talkie amidst the chaos of peak tourist season. It was a dance of listening intently and speaking clearly, making swift decisions to optimize each carriage's capacity. This experience honed my skills in efficient communication and decision-making, essential tools in any fast-paced environment. The Art of Engagement Engaging passersby with questions like, "How many pralines do you think this pigeon has eaten today?" became my strategy to spark conversations and, eventually, connections. Selling became less about transactions and more about creating memorable interactions, teaching me the value of genuine engagement and the resilience needed to face rejection with grace. Embracing Boredom In quieter moments, I learned to appreciate boredom as an opportunity for creativity and reflection. Whether devising new strategies to attract attention, befriending pigeons, or simply enjoying my thoughts, these moments of stillness were surprisingly fruitful. They reminded me of the importance of being present and finding joy in simplicity. Bonus: Animal Companionship Beyond the sales, my time at Olde Towne Carriage deepened my appreciation for the non-human residents of Charleston. Caring for Belgian draft horses retired from Amish farms was a rewarding experience that underscored the significance of empathy and caretaking, further enriching my summer of learning and growth. "What unconventional job have you had that taught you unexpected lessons?" Selling carriage tour tickets was more than a summer job; it was a journey into the heart of Charleston, filled with laughter, learning, and the occasional praline-fed pigeon. But most importantly, it was a reminder that every interaction, no matter how brief, is an opportunity to connect and make a lasting impression. I realized I wanted to be a tour guide. #Charleston #SalesSkills #CustomerEngagement #PersonalGrowth

Can you BELIEVE it? Eight months after purchasing our very own first cargo bike, it has graduated to CARGO BIKE HEAVEN. 🙏 It’s being delivered to paradise. We were DEVASTATED to receive the news of Babboe Cargobikes recall due to safety concerns. But we are grateful it has now been dealt with by a busy but friendly courier coming from Brighton and heading off all the way back to HQ in Derby on the same day. For scrap! 😭😭😭 What will we do? How will we recover? How will we carry all that baby equipment to new and expectant mums??? For you reading this now, please let this be a lesson for you. For every waking moment you have where you could stop scrolling, pause, look up, take a deep breath, appreciate the world around you and then make a Coconuts order…do it. That Let’s Mochi box of Asian sweets from Drayton, that Justasia meal from North End, that mystery mix of 6 bottles of Wines by the Sea from Southsea. You never know when it might be your last opportunity. Do all you can to avoid the regret later on in life, wondering what would have happened if only you had gone to our website to request a quote. If our example leads JUST ONE PERSON to consider Coconuts in future (when we have a bike again), then we will have done our job and the sacrifice would have been worth it. 😭 Coconuts WILL bounce back. Resilient. Southgate stylee. But will you? Delivering paradise. #coconuts #deliveringparadise #notdeliveringparadise #deliveries #recall #gone #byebye #neverforgotten #saddays #bouncebackability #resilience #portsmouth #southsea #localbusiness #independentbusiness #gone

"Jay is always willing to help wherever needed. He hauls cement/ash in Northeast Iowa, Wisconsin, and Cedar Rapids; as well as oversize/overweight equipment. Jay is a pleasure to work with and a great asset to Croell, Inc." Nominated by: Julie Bloom, East Trucking Manager Favorite thing about working at Croell: A lot of different people from employees to people at the terminals Most interesting project: First job I did at Croell was hauling equipment back from Longmont, CO with Bob Dreckman and John Bush. Didn't know either of them so I was nervous, but it went well and we became friends. What advice would you give to someone who might want to join Croell: Don't get overwhelmed. You won't learn everything in 1 or 2 weeks. But it gets easier as time goes on. Hobbies include: We spend almost every weekend on the river boating, water skiing, and wake boarding with friends and family. One thing people probably don’t know about me: I had a stroke in 2004. Spent 10 days in the hospital, was using a walker and then a cane. Recovered nicely though! Bucket list: Would love to get a pilot's license and fly my own plane. #CroellInc #EmployeeSpotlight #EmployeeRecognition
