The acquisition of Trans European at the end of last year helped Wincanton to boost turnover 33% to £998m in the year to March 31.
Operating profits from existing operations were up 4.7% to £31.1m, and there was a £2.2m operating profit from acquired operations, but exceptional items took pre-tax profit down to £26.7m from £30.8m a year ago.

The two companies, which are both part of the Ardo Group, have an annual combined turnover in excess of £40m.
