The combination of Hayton Coulthard Transport, ARR Craib and Pollock makes for one of Scotland’s biggest fleets. All three are part of the Gregory Group, and in an exclusive interview for Transport News, Duncan Coulthard, Murray Kelman and Scott Pollock extenuate the positives of working together to Kevin Swallow.
OFTEN, WHEN a business is taken over by a bigger firm, the name is lost to history.
Not so for ARR Craib and Pollock. Since being bought by Gregory Distribution, these longstanding family-run hauliers have retained their identity, their look and their operation. Today they work alongside Hayton Coulthard, who entered a joint venture with Gregory Distribution in 2009.
Behind the decision to retain the ARR Craib Transport and Pollock names is chief executive of Gregory Distribution John Gregory who recognised both hauliers are very strong brands and have close ties with their respective customers. They also complement the Hayton Coulthard name operating out of Scotland and its long association with Gregory Distribution.
