A Cumbrian transport firm has taken on more local staff, invested in new vehicles and is on track to meet ambitious targets for growth.
Lakeland Commercials, a haulage, coach and commercial vehicle repair company, joined Fortec Distribution Network in September and is set to thrive – despite the challenges of the current climate.
The Kendal-based business, which has also embarked on a recent recruitment drive, can now distribute shipments of any size into urban and rural areas across Cumbria and North Lancashire.
“We have chosen not to sit still over the last few months and moved forward with some bold decisions which will enable us to adapt and grow our family-run business,” said Gareth Bowman, director of Lakeland Commercials.
“We were already well known for our general haulage, coach and repair services, but becoming a member of Fortec Distribution Network adds an entirely new branch to our overall offering. It means we can provide overnight pallet deliveries and smaller shipments to independent shops and traders in our area and further afield with real cost-savings. That’s something we were not able to do before.”
