Thanks to vehicle logistics company Quinns Car Transport, Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice will have exclusive use of a sleek and shiny new Suzuki Swift for the next two years.

The car, complete with Bluebell Wood’s trademark purple logo, will help cut transport costs for the charity and be used regularly to visit families, supporters and volunteers across the region.

A spokesperson for Quinns said: “We are proud to have supported Bluebell Wood, a charity that’s very close to our hearts, for a number of years.

“We would like to say a special thank you to Tony Dent from B&B Vehicle Contract for sourcing the car and as always providing us an amazing service.

“Keep your eye out for the car – you can’t miss it!”

Quinns Car Transport, based in Kiveton Park, has supported Bluebell Wood since 2015, raising more than £25,000 through a variety of fundraisers.
