Taking equipment and information to other parts of Hertfordshire.
Our Mobile Terry Stevens Centre -'Ivanhoe' - travels to town centres, supermarket car parks and other venues throughout the county providing advice, information and products to people unable to visit The Woodside Centre.
The lorry received a refit in 2006 with a new chassis and cab. The interior includes new display cabinets with sliding glass doors, an L-shaped table, which doubles as a workstation and a new anti-slip floor. Outside 'Ivanhoe' has undergone a re-spray and new signage - with 'Ivanhoe' enscribed on the bonnet.
Launched in the summer of 2000, the service has proved so successful plans are
proceding to buy and man another vehicle - ‘Sir Galahad’.
