Pro Freight Solutions close their haulage sector (but the warehouse is still open)

 

Administration for outfit with 30 trucks and 32 trailers

Writing in Motor Transport Chris Tindall has reported on the demise of Staffordshire’s Pro Freight haulage outfit. He wrote: “The company, which traded out of two premises in Burntwood and Walsall and held an O-licence totalling 30 HGVs and 32 trailers, called in insolvency experts from FRP Advisory on Christmas Eve.”

The firm state on their website: “Pro Freight Solutions LTD is part of the CCH group. Craig Chance Holdings has a diverse business portfolio ranging from fine dine restaurants to nursing homes as well as a property company. The holding company was formed to give each individual business financial strength, and is on hand to provide its subsidiaries with investment which enables us to grow as a business. CCH currently has an annual turnover exceeding 10 million pounds as well as having an asset base of over 5 million.”

Chris Tindall noted that the firm was incorporated in 2008, and specialised in nationwide same day delivery and operated out of a 125,000 sq ft hub with capacity for 12,000 pallets in its racked warehouse and employed around 47 staff. It ran a mixed fleet of artics, rigids and sprinter vans, as well as straight frame and double deck trailers. He said the FRP Advisory has not responded to requests for a statement but he believed the directors were still running the warehouse despite the closure of the truck division.

The firm says of its warehouse storage: “As well as being managed by our professional team the warehouse is also managed by a world leading warehouse management system, which can provide our customers with ‘real time’ stock and location report.”
