On 1st October 2002 Fergusons (Blyth) Limited, one of the north’s foremost privately owned transport and property groups, announced the purchase of the business and assets of N Pretswell & Sons.

Alan Ferguson, Executive Chairman of the group stated that the purchase of Pretswell’s, one of the north’s oldest and well-respected removals and storage businesses complements the group’s existing removals business, Fergusons Removals. He said “We believe there is a great demand for domestic and commercial storage in the north east and we have been looking at ways to develop this sector. In reaching this agreement with Norman, we have taken the first step. I am delighted.”

The new company will be known as Pretswell Storeline and plans are to develop the “store at the door” service.
