Gregory Group, one of the UK’s largest transport businesses, has reported a rise in profit despite a “challenging year” of driver shortages and inflated fuel costs.
The Devon-headquartered logistics firm consists of four haulage brands Gregory Distribution, Hayton Coulthard, Pollocks and ARR Craib, which together employ more than 3,000 staff across 40 UK sites, and operate a fleet of more than 1,000 vehicles.
In documents filed on Companies House, the group recorded a pre-tax profit of £12.4m for the 12 months to October 2022, up from £11.3m for the same period a year earlier. Turnover rose by almost a quarter to £335.6m from £273.4m in 2021.
