On Friday, 15 July 2016 White & Company PLC acquired the long established and respected BAR member GoodMove of Colchester.
The acquisition includes a freehold warehouse capable of holding some 500 containers and increases the Group’s substantial fleet by a further nine vehicles, in an area where White & Company has not previously had any presence.
Ian Palmer, CEO of White & Company, commented that the business is already run on an extremely professional and profitable basis and he was delighted that the sale and handover was so smoothly handled by the former owners, Guy and Lynda Luard, who will remain with the business in the short term.
Guy and Lynda are thrilled that GoodMove will continue to be in safe hands. Guy said, “We’re particularly pleased that employment will remain the same for our loyal staff, many of whom have been with the company for many years. We are also grateful that White & Company made the whole process so simple for us and feel that they will be able to move the business forward with the same focus on customer service that has worked so well for us over the years.”
