For over half a century Prestons have been setting exceptional standards and providing a quality service. With an extensive fleet, large warehousing and a loyal workforce, they have grown to become one of the most widely recognised family businesses in the British logistics industry. Formed at Potto in 1936 by Richard Preston Senior, the company operated successfully as an agricultural business until 1957 when a transport division was formed. In 1969 the company was handed over to Richard Junior and his wife Anne whose joint leadership took Prestons of Potto into a new era of success mirroring the expansion of Teeside’s chemical and steel industries. Today Prestons is headed by the third generation, David Preston.
