Cheshire-based Suttons Tankers snaps up Yorkshire waste transport company

Suttons Tankers has snapped up a transport business based in Dinnington, near Sheffield

The Cheshire-headquartered company confirmed its acquisition of Bullard Ltd, which focuses on the chemical waste and fuel sectors.

Suttons Tankers is part of global logistics and supply chain firm Suttons Group.

Simon Bullard, who founded Bullard Ltd in 1993, will remain with the business in a key account management role.

Michael Cundy, managing director at Suttons Tankers, said: “This was a natural evolution with a known player in the market and is beneficial to both parties.

“We already have the largest shared-user chemical fleet in the UK and this acquisition allows us to focus on one of our key strategic sectors for growth.”

He added: “Our UK network also adds flexibility and capacity to Bullard’s customers and will deliver improved service and capability.”

Simon Bullard commented: “I’m delighted to have the opportunity to formalise a relationship with a company whose track record of leading customer service and safety is well known in the industry.

“In this market, flexibility is key and the scale and infrastructure that Suttons offers is a real benefit to my customers and allows us to be responsive to the increased demand for our services.”
