Derrick Potter. the group chairman, predicts similarly strong growth for this year.
He says: "Quite clearly the idea is to grow our business and we are going to be focused on doing that through putting more money back in," The company has already invested heavily this year in extra container handling facilities.
Potter adds: We are looking at our clients and the services they require. We need to be inventive and find new [transport] solutions for them."
He says it was customer needs which prompted the business to join the Pall-Ex pallet network earlier this year.
