Portfolio of Two Successful Specialist Family Haulage Companies Yorkshire

Portfolio of Two Successful Specialist Family Haulage Companies based in Yorkshire
Truly enviable reputation, loyal client base, well maintained modern fleet
Advised Combined Turnover circa £700,000 per annum generating healthy profits
Terrific opportunity for future development offered by way of relocation, retirement sale
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a portfolio of two successful, specialist family-owned haulage companies. Both businesses are based in the well-regarded market town in West Yorkshire. Strategically located with excellent access to the national motorway network, they are ideally positioned to take advantage of the most profitable routes, allowing the operation to remain both cost-effective and financially competitive.

These well-established businesses have been serving the local area for many years, earning a reputation for reliability and professionalism. Their extensive knowledge and experience in the transport sector have enabled them to grow into the respected and successful enterprises they are today. Upon completion of sale, the businesses will be relocated to alternative premises.

The businesses specialise in providing effective and cost-efficient logistics solutions to the construction sector. Their loyal customer base has been developed over many years, built on trust, service quality, and consistent performance.

Notably, the businesses undertake no formal marketing activities. Instead, they generate strong and stable income through longstanding verbal contracts, word-of-mouth recommendations, and repeat business from clients who have remained loyal for decades.

The businesses are supported by a dedicated and experienced team of drivers, many of whom have been with the companies for years. Their professionalism and commitment play a vital role in maintaining the businesses’ excellent reputation and continued success.

The operations benefit from a proven track record of income, profit, and strong cash generation. The fleet consists of Scania, DAF, Volvo, and Iveco vehicles, chosen for their performance, efficiency, and reliability. This modern fleet is meticulously maintained and regularly serviced, ensuring continued operational excellence.

While the current owners have deliberately kept the business at a manageable scale, they recognise significant potential for expansion. A new owner could increase fleet size and trailer capacity, expand into new routes across the UK, and actively pursue additional customers and clients. There is a clear opportunity to introduce structured sales and marketing efforts, including the creation of an in-house sales team and the use of local and regional media to broaden visibility and attract new business.

Moreover, developing a professional company website would offer further opportunities to promote services, highlight business strengths, increase brand awareness, and tap into new markets. The outgoing owners bring an exceptional understanding of the haulage industry and their competitive landscape, knowledge they are willing to share with the new owner to ensure a smooth and informed transition.

This acquisition presents a rare chance to build on an established foundation of reliability, customer loyalty, and industry expertise, with significant potential for future growth under proactive new ownership. Ref: 51717
