Turnover at Peter Green Haulage increased by 6% last year as the business focused on fleet utilisation and reducing its fixed costs.
The chilled and frozen distribution specialist reported revenues of £28.5m in the year ending 31 December 2025, up from £26.9m in 2024.
The increase was derived from operations within the UK, which saw the previous year’s turnover of £23.6m increase by 7.6% to £25.4m.
However, profit before tax reduced by 30% to £1.2m and operating profit was 27% lower than the previous year at £1.4m.
During the period, Peter Green Haulage employed an extra five transport employees (79) and another five warehouse staff (80).
The Shepton Mallet transport company said the management of the business and executing its strategy were subject to risks including high fixed costs, rising costs and availability of labour and volatile energy markets.
“To manage these key risks the company utilises subcontractors to deal with peak flows, continues to review ways to increase staff retention and employs effective systems to monitor operational efficiency,” it said.
