Logistics firm drives growth

PART of the Clugston Group is looking to create jobs after investing in new vehicles.

Logistics operation Clugston Distribution Services has spent £500,000 on eight lorry tractor units, a move expected to create eight jobs this year.

The company is focusing on expanding into new sectors including fuels distribution, capitalising on the location of its main Scunthorpe base close to the Humber ports.

General manager David Heath said: “We are anticipating 2012 to be a successful growth year, across all areas of the business.

“Our curtain sided fleet, which only entered service in September 2011, is already working for a broad range of new customers and compliments our specialist logistics services. The new tractor units will allow us to further develop our range of services.”

CDS is looking to grow its fleet to more than 70 vehicles by the end of March as it looks to become one of the North’s leading logistics firms.
