Thompson Transport to be listed

Alan Thompson and his wife Sheila founded Thompson Transport around 1974 in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

With a farming background, Alan began by delivering potatoes to the wholesale markets. This was followed by a chance foray into frozen food distribution at a later date. This led to the beginning of Thompson Transport as it is today.

Sheila was no stranger to the transport business. Her father Emanuel Mason, was a Director of the Rotherham based Mason Bros, with a fleet of around 100 trucks serving the then booming steel industry around Sheffield, with a depot also in East London.  

Many thanks to Paul Harper and Mike Harland who do the majority of approaching new fleets and to the update team for adding all the info to the database.
