• Nexus Logistics has bought the assets of Manchester-based RTM (Transport), a haulier closely associated with bulk raw food traffic for Kelloggs.
Food materials is a core sector for Nexus, says business development manager Malcolm Ross: "We approached the owner of RTM, Doug Roberts, and came to an amicable agreement about the valuation of the company."
RTM's traffic boss Ray Grimes is joining Nexus and will run the fleet from its existing Trafford Park site for the time being, reporting to Geoff Hough, depot manager at Northwich.
The drivers are transferring to the Transport Development Group company without losing service continuity. RTM's 13 trailers and 11 tractors give Nexus a fleet of 90 tankers.
Transport at Kelloggs has been in the melting pot since a change in its senior management last year. NFC has recently moved its major transport and distribution contract for packaged foods from BRS to Exel.
