BORDON Vehicle Hire director Bryan Sutton has loaned one of his new vans to be driven to the Slovakian border with Ukraine.

It will be filled with humanitarian aid donations and will be driven by Jonathan Ralston, accompanied by a Ukrainian assistant.

Mr Ralston said: “We are deeply grateful to Bryan and the members of his wonderful family business in helping us achieve this vital trip to help the desperate people of Ukraine.”

Mr Sutton has loaned six more vans to other volunteer drivers making the long trip to the Ukrainian border.
