In 1925 Fred Denman founded his removal and haulage business in partnership with his brother Jack. With Fred's eye for a business and Jacks farming connections the business grew rapidly.

By 1935 the company had purchased the raven Garage, Heath Road, and were operating from this centre. In 1938 the business moved to premises behind the White Lion Hotel in Green End, whitchurch in order to accommodate an expanding fleet. Fred gained a special dispensation from the local authority to use the ajoining Smithfield, now Kwik Save Retail Area.

By 1948 with large contracts such as John Summers, which later became british steel, Denmans had now become one of the largest haulage companies in Shropshire, employing all local staff and drivers. In 1949 the company was nationalised and it was not until 1954 that Fred was able to rebuild the company, with his wife.Although the company had been substantially down-sized due to the effects of nationalisation the family business continued.

In 1958 Fred’s eldest son Romney returned from active National Service in Malaya and joined the business.

Although the business had always carried out Removals and Storage Romney realized there was a need and a market for a more developed and professional approach to this side of the business and concentrated his efforts on its successful development.

Sadly, in 1977 Fred died, leaving Romney to continue, ably assisted by his wife and fellow director Carole.

In 1987 Romney and Carole’s eldest son, Julian, returned from a successful period of working in Hong Kong for property magnate David Davies and also joined the family operation.

Julian’s work experience overseas brought valuable input into the company and, like Romney, Julian concentrated on developing the Removals and Storage business further. Removals and Storage had now become the company’s main turnover compared to the dominance of the Haulage operations pre-nationalisation.

In 1996 the company expanded into its current Highgate headquarters and began to develop and offer ‘self-storage’ and ‘private room storage’ facilities at this prominent location.

In 2004, after a re-structuring exercise, Julian’s wife Vicki joined the family fold and successfully took control of all administrative applications and processes.

Julian, Vicki, Romney and Carole are all very proud of the company’s unbroken family service to the local community and beyond, and are very conscious of the loyalty of their staff and customers to whom they owe a huge debt of gratitude.
