I must get into this more often and keep you lot up to date.

 Eddie Stobart has been sold to Westbury the Guernsey based property group, i cant remember the exact figure but for something like £128m, give or take a bit, what does it matter! Eddie Stobart has also bought into the new dock area near Widnes. The site has deep sea shipping, canal and rail connections, giving the Stobart brand a huge opportunity to have, what i call a complete service site. They will have incoming stuff from the sea, that can be stored on site at the Dock, then distributed by road or rail, amazing. You have to hand it to William Stobart and Andrew Tinkler, they have done a complete u-turn with the company since the troubles a few years ago, when Eddie left.

I have visions of Ships sailing our waters in the famous Eddie Stobart livery, along with trains and trucks sitting in the port, that prompts another vision of a great play mat to sell the kids in the Eddie Stobart shop!!!!
