Emmerson Transport Ltd
Emmerson Transport Limited (ETL) is a Hawke's Bay family-owned transport operation, owned and operated by the Emmerson family, under the directorship of Ian Emmerson and a focussed management team.
The company had small beginnings in 1977 when it was founded by the late John Emmerson and his sons, Ian and Peter. Initial activities involved transporting produce from the family's agricultural and horticultural activities which were delivered to processors, markets and export ports using the three trucks they had bought. A few years later they increased the fleet when they began carting livestock.
Deregulation of the transport industry in the 1980s changed the focus for ETL as well as the opportunities to diversify into freight cartage. It was in 1995 when Ian and Peter decided to exit livestock cartage.
Growth was steady throughout the late 80s and 90s. With the acquisition of two other companies during the 2000s, and further expansion, ETL has become one of the largest transport operations in Hawke's Bay. ETL acquired Lindco Holdings in 2002 and Bruce Hill Transport in 2006.
Emmerson Transport Limited operates more than 100 large units plus a host of other ancillary equipment which makes the company one of the largest independent operators in the transport industry. The company operates out of seven strategically placed North Island depots.
Over 40 years later the company continues to grow and diversify with changing times.
