• John Dee Group is
competing with another leading transport company to buy an Italian haulier. Although Dee will definitely open its first depot in Italy next January, the size of the operation will depend on whether its bid for the Milan-based company is successful.
Group development and marketing director Derek Ford will not reveal any details about the Italian company, or who its rival is, but he says John Dee will be taking on staff in Italy.
The company is also seeking a joint venture with a French haulier. it already has Dee Line, a £2 million-turnover Belgian operation with depots in Zeebrugge and Antwerp.
Dee Line, which runs 20 tractor units and 50 trailers, collects white goods carried from Italy by train, and delivers them throughout Belgium.
