DP Firth Transport Limited is a family-run business that has been in operation for over two decades. Established in 1998, the company has grown to become one of the premier providers of logistical support in the UK while still maintaining the care and attention to detail of a family-run business.
The company's origins date back to 1990 when Dane, the current Director, was employed as a driver/mechanic for Transcold North West, owned by Kevin Kelly. When Kevin retired in 1998, Dane saw an opportunity to purchase the company and became the new owner of Transcold North West. For the first couple of years, Dane continued to operate the business under the same name and expanded the fleet, added moffetts to some of the vehicles/trailers, and expanded into warehousing. As the company grew, it required larger premises, and in 2006, Dane changed the company name to DP Firth Transport Limited.
