Sterling Sinclair Removals Group continues on the acquisition trail

Adam Sinclair, Managing Director of Sterling Sinclair Removals Group

Sterling Sinclair Removals Group (SSR) has acquired long-established, Tillicoultry-based, Glen Transport.  The six-figure deal is the group’s second such transaction in less than a year, following the takeover of Britannia Edinburgh Removals.

As part of the agreement, Stirling-headquartered SSR has taken on Glen Transport’s staff, client base and indoor storage facility, comprising 260 indoor crates, each measuring 250 cubic feet.  Staffing levels now sit at 30, with a fleet of 22 vehicles.

WeDO member and Sterling Sinclair Removals Group Managing Director, Adam Sinclair commented:

“When this opportunity arose, it was too good to ignore.  Glen Transport is one of the most well-established businesses in Clackmannanshire and I am delighted to have completed the acquisition, as it now gives us a strong presence in Clackmannanshire, as well as Falkirk, Stirling, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

 

“We have ambitious growth plans and are now one of the top five biggest storage and removal companies in Scotland.”

Sterling Sinclair Removals Group was set up by the former Scotland Rugby under-20s player when injuries killed off his professional dream at 23.  Despite the set backs, Adam has subsequently put his entrepreneurial talent to good use and hasn’t looked back.  Since setting up the firm in 2016, Adam – who also played for London Irish, Albi, Rotherham and USA Perpignan – has grown the business via acquisitions.

Larbert Carriers in Falkirk was their first foray into acquisitions in August 2019, followed by Letford Removals two years later and Britannia Edinburgh 10 months ago.

Adam also runs Edinburgh and Stirling’s largest container self-storage facilities – a 1.4-acre site less than a mile from Haymarket in the capital and a two-acre space in the shadow of Stirling Castle.

Adam is speaking at our Edinburgh Networking Breakfast on the14th of November when we’re looking forward to hearing about his entrepreneurial journey which is most certainly on a high growth trajectory!
