The owners of North East haulage and warehousing firm Fergusons Transport have hailed the company’s performance after coming through the challenges of Covid-19.
The family firm, which was launched in 1926, is the largest privately-owned haulier in the North East while also working in warehousing, logistics, removals and self-storage.
Now the Cramlington company – one of several in the region owned and operated by the Ferguson family, which recently opened the Ad Gefrin whisky distillery in Wooler – has published accounts for the year ended September 2022, showing a jump in turnover from £20.8m to £24.5m. Operating profit rose from £371,244 to £583,829 and the overall profit for the year rose significantly, from £21,322 to £622,904.
