Local distribution company John T Evans Haulage Ltd is celebrating its first anniversary in Bristol since it opened a new £1m 25,000 sq ft warehouse facility in Avonmouth last year.

The 25-year old company is a member of Palletways, Europe’s leading palletised freight network. John T Evans opened its Bristol operation last May with 18 employees and has since grown to over 25 members of staff with a fleet of 14 vehicles. Its location in Bristol is an important part of the company’s business development plans to increase its current turnover of £6m to some £10m over the next three years.

As one of the largest members in the Palletways network, John T Evans manages over 250 incoming pallets a day and delivers 150 outgoing pallets for over 50 customers in Bristol and the surrounding areas. Through the Palletways network, the company offers its customers next day and economy distribution services for one to six pallet consignments across the UK & Ireland, as well as to mainland Europe, including the Benelux countries, Denmark, Germany and France.

John Evans, Principal of John T. Evans: says: “It is fantastic to be celebrating our first year in Bristol and to see the company grow as a result of our investment and hard work across the team.”
