Gussion Transport UK Joins Abbey Logistics Group!

This acquisition not only adds a new facility to our group but also strengthens our strategic presence across the Liverpool and North West region, providing expanded office space, a wash bay, and workshop facilities.

This marks Abbey's first acquisition since joining Sitra Group in October 2023 and supports SITRA’s vision of consolidating the UK and European logistics markets through both growth and expansion. The new site, positioned by the Mersey Multimodal Gateway, will complement Abbey's Liverpool base as a main service hub for the North West, further enhancing service to our clients.

David Patten, CEO of Abbey Logistics Group, shared: “This is an exciting time for Abbey Logistics Group and we welcome the customers and employees of the two businesses to our wider group. Acquiring this space for our development is not only a significant step in our growth journey, but also a key enabler of our future success. It has been a pleasure working with the Gussion family to help close this deal, and we look forward to leveraging this new space to strengthen our operations in Liverpool and the North West."

Michaela Foster, Gussion Transport Director, said: “This was the change we needed—a fresh start for our business, and we couldn’t be happier to have found a partner who shares similar values of customer service and operational excellence. Bob Gussion, our Grandad, who founded the business over 45 years ago, is delighted to see his legacy continue in the haulage industry. We will continue operating as Gussion and WTCS, while benefiting from being part of a bigger family.”

We look forward to combining our strengths with the Gussion team and continuing to provide exceptional logistics solutions with a shared focus on service excellence and customer-first values.
