Long-established UK logistics firm Fagan & Whalley Ltd., located in Lancashire, has expanded its activities with the acquisition of Alan R Jones & Sons Ltd., situated in Newport, South Wales.
With a fleet of 170 vehicles and five operational sites across the UK, including a 200,000 sq ft warehousing and distribution depot recently opened in Blackburn, Fagan & Whalley’s already impressive offering is bolstered by the acquisition of Alan R Jones & Sons, which added 39 commercial vehicles, 40,000 sq ft of warehousing space, and a strategically located distribution depot.
“Following a period of continued growth and development, we saw this as a valuable opportunity to strengthen our geographical position and embark on the next step in our plans for expansion,” says Fagan & Whalley Business Strategy Director, Sam Fagan.
Former Managing Director of Alan R Jones & Sons, Ray Clegg, had this to say: “It had become an obvious strategic move for the business to look at new opportunities, and when we had a discussion with the team at Fagan & Whalley, it was immediately clear that they put their people at the core of what they do, with a reputation that’s second to none, and I am truly delighted that Alan R Jones & Sons will now move forward into the future with new leadership and new opportunities to cement its status as a service-driven, people-led, award-winning organisation.”
