Eddie sold to his brother and another partner. ES Ltd is still part of the group, and they now own Carlisle Airport as well (I think) for their air freight division.

Last week they merged again: http://www.eddiestobart.co.uk/News/N...icle.php?id=41

Westbury Properties (which may have Carlisle Airport).

Steady Eddie has been taken over

They are now called the Stobart Group after some equity partners bought them.

Nah. 1 I don't want. 1 I do and 2 non plussed about.

It could have been worse. Hunter Davies works his usual magic in making a tedious subject passably readable. 3/10

love the way all ES trucks all have girls names on the sides...

Well a few years ago the ES fan club made more profit than the actual haulage company.

Scary.

yeah, I used to think they were only on the front...was a severe pain having to crane neck / look in rear view mirror each time.

My second favourite trucking company are 'Prestons of Potto'.



(I spend too long on motorways )

Indeed - they used to be only on the front. Particularly difficult to see them on a Scania lorry, where the writing was really small.

He started with Twiggy, Tammy and Dolly and it grew from there. I remember them having a Ffion when William Hague got married.



Sad, I know.

And on the front.

Most are girls names, but I saw "Optimus Prime" last year!

Beating them off with a stick at the moment. The market is completely mad - so much work out there that it (almost) makes me want to become an agent.

[ThomasSoerensen]

Good luck.

[BA to the Stars]

Could be - good luck with them, hopefully should get something out of them

No. You've just been approved by the giant lizards who run the business world. Congratulations.
