Got to be some consolidation on the cards unfortunately.

Not necessarily.
It may have been bought by Gregorys but it may be run as a separate concern as they do with Hayton Coulthard and Kays. Same trucks, same colours, same drivers, different head office.
Time will tell.
Just hope the top table doesn’t topple and take with it, all these successful companies with it, one day.

Isn’t that just lip service though to stop any staff/customers worrying because it would make no commercial sense. Obviously you get ego mad empire building operations where every truck is immediately bought a new set of curtains and sent to the paint shop to be rebranded but even when that doesn’t happen you usually get a drip drip of consolidations as time goes on and vehicles are renewed.
