The Bradford depot of Amtrak Express Parcels is celebrating ten years in the business this month.

The depot, run jointly by franchisees Chris and Nicola Bell, started in November, 1988 in the corner of the firm's Huddersfield depot.

Following a couple of site changes, they moved to the current premises at the Fieldhead Business Centre, in Listerhills, five years ago.

The firm employs ten staff which uses seven vehicles to service its area which includes Bradford, Shipley, Bingley, Keighley, Skipton, Settle and Cleckheaton.

Nicola Bell said: "Business has more than trebled over the last few years with growth in all areas."

The firm has 120 depots in the UK and chairman Roger Baines announced a £10.25m investment programme.
