Maxi Caledonian has reported an increase in turnover and profit, with turnover increasing from £89 million to over £101m and a profit before tax of £4.4m.

Maxi Caledonian Ltd is the ultimate holding company of Maxi Haulage Ltd, Maxi Construction Ltd and Maxi Warehousing Ltd.

Chairman Gerry Atkinson said the September 2023 audited accounts were excellent and thanked all those who have worked very hard to achieve this in an increasingly difficult commercial environment.

Maxi Haulage Ltd turnover increased from £74.5m to £80.9m and recorded pretax profits of £2.6m. A market of reducing demand and increasing, unrecoverable costs have impacted margins in the later part of the current year and the following period. Vehicle prices have now stabilised or reduced slightly with an improvement in availability compared with the prior year. The company, which celebrated its 50th birthday in January 2024, said that it will continue to significantly invest in fleet.
