That was in 1979 and Peter Denby has been with the firm ever since, "I think my dad was quite clever about it really. He didn't put any pressure on me; he just said that I could come and make a bit of money working while I decided," says Denby.

You never get bored and there will be a transport business here in 20 years time, which Is more than you can say for some businesses. But you also get the feeling that you have to work a little too hard for very little profit sometimes."
