Eric Elliott Transport has been sold in a transaction intended to “set new industry standards,” according to acquirer Onpoint Group.
Having commenced trading in the 1950s, Eric Elliott Transport, based in Gotham, Nottinghamshire, is a provider of haulage and waste removal services in the Midlands.
The company owns its fleet of vehicles and offers services to clients in the agriculture, construction, demolition and recycling sectors.
In a transaction led by Oliver Rigby, KBS Corporate Deal Executive, Eric Elliott Transport was sold to Onpoint Group, a Birmingham-based global logistics specialist.
“We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of Eric Elliott Transport, a move that significantly expands our capabilities and regional presence,” read a statement from Onpoint.
“This strategic acquisition strengthens our portfolio by adding specialised expertise and services in key areas, further enabling us to deliver comprehensive solutions to our clients.”
Onpoint said its broader range of services now extends to bulk haulage, walking-floor trailers, muck-away services, grab hire, aggregates supply and recycling following the acquisition, complementing its existing logistics solutions to offer customers “a true one-stop-shop experience for all their transport and waste management needs.”
Alex Bush, Onpoint’s Commercial Director, said: “This acquisition is a milestone in our growth journey, allowing us to better serve our customers in Nottingham and beyond.
“By combining our teams’ experience and capabilities, we are positioned to deliver even greater value, efficiency and sustainability across our operations.
“This move is not just about growth for Onpoint Group, it’s about enhancing the customer experience and setting new standards in our industry.”
In successfully concluding the deal, KBS Corporate’s Oliver Rigby expressed his thanks to Andrew King of Duncan & Toplis, along with the team at Mackrell Solicitors and in particular James McKimm and Guvvy Sandhu.
