When the husband and wife team of John and Wendy Allen started their own haulage business in 1984 a 5-year old Volvo F10 was the only lorry they had. Operating out of their base at Cuckoo Bridge in Spalding, Lincolnshire they were soon hauling 24 hours a day; potatoes by day and cement tankers by night.
The business is very much a family affair with John, the Managing Director, being ably assisted by fellow Directors, Kelvin (son) and Vanessa (daughter). Completing the family connection are Sharon (daughter) and her husband Steve (son-in-law). In Dec 2008 Ian Coleman joined the Company. There are also three other family members who are employed in other capacities.
Ian's role is that of General Manager whilst Kelvin and Steve look after the Traffic desk and Customer Relations. If demand requires, all the above are happy to get behind the wheel.
Transport is a way of life for the Allen family with John driving a Bedford Tipper for his father at the age of 17 years. Kelvin and Steve also started as soon as they were old enough. Having now clocked up more than 50 years driving experience between them, they are more than qualified to handle the running of this busy transport business.
Since those early days, the business has gone from strength to strength. It now operates a fleet of 30 tractor units and employs a staff of forty who keep the business operating smoothly 24/7.
