Macclesfield haulier acquires rival

Macclesfield-based haulage and warehouse company Kinaxia Logistics has bought Mark Thompson Transport, a through-the-night logistics specialist.

Established in 1989 in Warrington with a single van, Mark Thompson Transport has grown significantly in recent years with customers including Hermes, DX, TNT and Victoria Plum.

Kinaxia Logistics, which operates from Adlington Industrial Estate, was formed in 2012 with the acquisition of Bay Freight and has completed eight acquisitions in five years.

It now employs 1,050 staff with an annual turnover of £95m.
