YORKSHIRE HAULAGE irm Brian Yeardley Continental increased turnover and proit in 2011 by providing a “hassle-free service” to its customers.
According to its summary accounts, the Featherstone irm reported a turnover of £8.7m to the year ended 31 December 2011, from £6.9m in 2010, with a proit before dividends and tax of £193,000. This compares with proit of £128,000 in 2010 and £101,000 in 2009.
MD Kevin Hopper says the £1.8m increase in turnover is mainly due to existing business. However, he says two new contracts gained in September 2011 will help push turnover to between £10.5m and £11m during 2012.
“Our continued success is based on our company ethic of providing a quality reliable service to our customers,” he says. “We have invested heavily in quality with regards to the standards we work to: people, IT and equipment and we pride ourselves on our reputation brand and image.” In 2010, Brian Yeardley Continental revealed it had returned to proit after making a pre-tax loss of £104,000 the previous year.
