Shepton Mallet’s Peter Green Haulage saw turnover and profits increase significantly last year.
The transport and storage firm reported revenues of £26.9m in the year ending 31 December 2024, 6.5% higher than the previous year.
Almost £3.3m of its turnover was derived from international operations.
Pre-tax profits jumped by almost 30% to £1.8m during the period (£1.4m) and gross profit increased by 10% to £5m.
In a review of its business the family-run haulage company, which was established in the 1960s and specialises in the transport and storage of chilled and frozen food, said it had focused on fleet utilisation efficiency and reducing fixed costs in its transport division during 2024.
“Management are optimistic that the continued focus on utilisation, strengthening key partners and improving volumes will continue to improve results in 2025,” it added.
The company holds an international operator licence authorising 80 HGVs running out of bases in Shepton Mallet and Bridgwater.
