Eddie Stobart Keeps on Trucking
Recommend on Google+
The haulage sector is going through a tought time. Some good clips online describe the rising redundancies being experienced by haulage firms around the UK. However, one of the largest firms, Stobart Group, seems to be bucking the trend. Partly it is because the business has diversified into other transport activities (e.g. running airports). But mainly it is holding up well because of a shift in its roduct mix towards serving UK producers, mainly in the food and drink sectors. A good article here provides excellent background reading - perhaps as a starter resource.
