The group employed 650 staff involved with international services during the period, compared with 496 in 2004, and says it paid out more than £14.6m in salaries and pensions.
At 31 December 2005 its freehold property portfolio, including its Nottingham and WestThurrock depots, was valued at fl 2.7m; its fleet of vehicles and trailers was said to be worth £21.5m.
