About 4×4 Response
The aim and purpose of 4×4 Response is;

- Access to locations in extreme weather conditions where an organisations own vehicles cannot cope.
- Access to extreme terrain when a normal vehicle cannot cope.
- Transportation of key personnel in adverse conditions.
- Providing additional vehicles during major incidents.
- Recovery of assets or personnel stuck in extreme weather or terrain.
- Assisting with any incident where our equipment or skills are appropriate.
