• Cheshire-based Harris (Holmes Chapel) has closed its haulage operation after 25 years to concentrate on the property business.
The company's fleet of 12 vehicles were used on general groupage work. The company ran regular deliveries of wallpaper, machinery and chemicals from Lancashire and Cheshire to London, the south east and Kent.
"Although the haulage company was very profitable, it was taking up too much of our time," says managing director John Harris. "We want to concentrate on buying and leasing industrial property." The company, which is based near J18 off the MO, now plans to lease its depot, with offices and a 4,047m2 yard. A year's lease will cost about £18,000 and Harris is looking for a company to operate 10 trucks from the site. (Phone 0477 32087).
0 An auction of Harris's fleet, ranging from a Ford Escort van to an ERF 24-tanner, will be held on 2 December 1989 at Commercial Motor Auction's Cheshire centre.
