| Johnsons (Burscough) Ltd, formally known as W. Johnson was founded in 1940 with one tipping lorry on demolition work in Liverpool. William Johnson had five sons, and as each passed his driving test, another vehicle was added to the fleet. In 1967, William subsequently retired leaving his sons to run the business with three vehicles carting manure and the other two flatbeds on general haulage – the name also changed to Johnsons (Burscough) Ltd. Today, the business is run by three of W.Johnsons’ grandchildren and the Company now has 14 units and numerous trailers working for four different shipping lines. Released: October 2007 |
