Eddie Stobart Limited is Britain’s largest independent road haulage company and notably the most famous. The company history stems back over half a century from a rural village location to its present day status as a major national and international operator. In 2000 William Stobart left the company to work for his brother-in-law Andrew Tinkler, Managing Director of a highly successful civil engineering company. In 2004 the Eddie Stobart Group was taken over by their company WA Developments International following the retirement of Edward Stobart, which resulted in William Stobart returning as Managing Director. Today Eddie Stobart employs over 2000 people, operates nearly 1200 vehicles out of 27 depots across the UK and Europe and has an annual turnover in excess of £140m. An on-going investment programme to further strengthen and develop the company is in place to ensure its continued success. In 2003 Eddie Stobart was invited to tender for all the Knauf business and was successful in becoming the main contractor for both drywall and insulation products. There are 70 of these special Knauf liveried trucks on the road, 7 of which feature a special trailer mounted forklift. Intellectual Property Rights licensed by DaimlerChrysler AG.
