Stiller Transport 'back in profit'
Andrew Winney, director at the
Newton Aycliffe, County Durham firm, says the firm is looking positively to the
future. He adds: "Selling the tanker business [to Hargreaves] was a good
thing for us. We are more grounded within the facilities that we have. I don't
think we are setting records, but we are making a profit."
He adds that the warehouse at Newton Aycliffe is 80% full and, although
its Darton, South Yorkshire site is emptier since the end of a six-month
storage contract, with some redundancies made as a result, the firm is talking
to a number of customers to fill the space.
Additionally, its pallet volumes through network Palletline are 14% up on
this time last year.
Winney adds: "We are tolerably optimistic we are holding our own
within the confines of the reduced business."
