    Sir Benjamin Slade a British Shipping Magnate is shipping 50 oaks from his estate to Notre Same in order to assist restoration.

    I founded Shirlstar Container Transport Limited in 1973 with £200 and built the business up into a leading container transport company. The company became part of Shirlstar (Holdings) Limited and the container fleet was sold in the late 1990s.
