JJX Logistics deals with the aerospace, defence, rail, automotive, chemical and pharmaceutical industries and has transport hubs across the country.

It has decorated the side of a trailer at its Kingswinford hub with a thank you message to the NHS.

The trailer is being used to transport vital supplies to hospitals around the region, including pharmaceutical supplies, food and other must-need equipment.

Emily Hyde, Social Media & Marketing manager at JJX, spoke about how the company came up with the idea of decorating the side of a trailer.

She said: "We support many local charities and because of being a key worker industry ourselves, we wanted to show our support to the key workers in the NHS.

"The reaction so far has been amazing, as Facebook has gone completely berserk and people are loving it and sharing it, which is beyond anything we could have imagined."

The trailer has been in use regularly, making deliveries to different healthcare locations and had proved a popular sight, as Emily noted.

She said: "It's been having a few pictures taken at certain locations because the people we deliver to notice it and ask if they can get a photo taken with it.

"We obviously haven't done it just for recognition as we want to show our appreciation as truck drivers and everybody else on board to support the NHS.

"It's about everybody working together and supporting and just being there for each other, and being positive and strong really throughout this whole period."
