James Wilby Limited
In the early 1970's, as the coal mining industry began to faulter, Chairman, Keith Shaw saw the need for the business to diversify into road haulage in order to remain sustainable. This move was brave and insightful as by the end of the 20th Century, the coal mining industry had pretty much collapsed across Yorkshire.
By 1976, when Keith was the depot manager, following in the footsteps of his father, the Turner family decided to break-up from the group of companies, alongside colleague John Bates, Keith purchased James Wilby from the family. John remains a shareholder and non-executive director of James Wilby to this day.
