im tempted to invest in this sometime. I remeber the days when they had the w.h.smith contract and lost it to wincanton (who consequently made a right old mess of it and lost it to menzies distribution i believe).
They also had the new look and Rhythm and booze contracts at that time and were a decent company.
Clipper used to be called Gagewell and owned by Stephen cooke, until he went off to run Mcfarlane transport which despite his best efforts went bust in 2008. Its very lucky that Mr Parkin bought clipper and made it a success!
