The purchase of ICD gives TDL a workforce of 80 and a fleet of 50 vehicles on the Isle of Van. Chris Tindall reports.

TRADE DISTRIBUTION (TDL) has bought ICD, a haulage firm with a depot in Skelmersdale, Lancs.

This is the fourth acquisition the Isle of Man logistics company has made since it was established in 2000.

ICD also has a depot on the island;it has invested £150,000 in a 300-pallet cold store that provides a consolidating service for its customers to and from the Isle of Man.

TDE managing director Steve Pickett reports that the merger of the two Isle of Man companies creates a "major workforce" of 80 staff on the island. He adds: With a local fleet of over 50 vehicles, we're all excited about the next step in TDL's development.

TIN, started out as a warehouse and distribution service provider to local drinks company Heron and Brearley; since then it has expanded to take on contracts with Manx Electricity Authority and Okell's Brewery; it also transports most of the local fish exports.

ICD managing director Pam Jones joins TDL's board as commercial director.
