Committed to service reliability and flexibility, J H Davies has developed a business with a broad spread of customers across many industries. Founded in 1878 as a family business and incorporated in 1971, J H Davies was originally a coal supply company. The family connection has continued with joint Managing Director Chris Parlane representing the fourth generation of the family, as the great grandson of the founder. Like many similar businesses, haulage, albeit with horses and carts, was a natural ancilliary service. With the nationalisation of the coal industry in 1948 the major source of the business disappeared. However, alongside other interests, the haulage aspect was developed and in 1976 when the current joint managing director Michael Harvey joined the company, it became the principal activity.
