Expansion Potential
There are several avenues for growth, possibly by more growth through inward investment, expanding the fleet by purchasing additional trucks and increasing the staff levels to expand into other locations. Strategic promotion of the company could provide lucrative profits.

One of the two locations operated from is positioned in close proximity to its biggest customer and its significant newly created manufacturing plant and is in the final stages of securing a significant contract for haulage services nationally & internationally.

With significant demand in the marketplace this business operates at 100% capacity. The level of demand is such that there is scope to add additional capacity profitably - even to the extent of possibly doubling the current fleet.
