Michael in our sales office received a call from a keen reader of "The Skip" magazine (Topskips publishes this magazine every month as The Voice of The Skip Hire Industry in the UK and Ireland") asking why skips were shaped liked skips and not like boxes!
Michael panicked and quickly passed the call to John, who then proceeded to explain that the unique shape of skips is due to the need to stack them when they're empty - can you imagine the room that would be taken up in a skip yard if all the skips were box shaped?
Needless to say, we're brushing up on everyones sales training - we never expected anyone to ask that question before!
