History
Founder and executive chairman Derrick Potter started The Potter Group as a one-man enterprise in Yorkshire back in 1965. Today the business employs more than 200 staff providing high quality, UK freight, warehousing, distribution and logistics services to clients in almost every type of business from five regional distribution centres.
During the past three decades the company has taken up the cause of rail freight as a viable alternative to increasing road congestion and pollution. Continued investment in the infrastructure of its three rail-connected centres illustrates its long-term commitment to the commercial and environmental benefits of rail freight.
Group values
While the company's business model has evolved, the core values of the business have not changed Ð a practical and effective alliance between clients, employees and suppliers.
The company has always focused on meeting the requirements of both the market and clients, creating a number of successful and mutually beneficial long-term partnerships. This has translated into a high quality, professional service underpinned by honesty, respect and openness on all sides.
