A Doncaster Business is Taking Off in Style at the Airport

A Doncaster business is on the road to success thanks to the delivery of three new trucks. Anglo European, a transport and airfreight business, based at Robin Hood Airport is celebrating the arrival of its new branded vehicles thanks to increased trade.

Gary Winterman, Managing Director of Anglo European and Doncaster Chamber’s Entrepreneur of the Year, said: “This is a very exciting time for us. Being based at Doncaster Sheffield Airport means that we are ideally located to offer our cargo handling service and increased business has meant that we’ve invested in our transport system by buying three new delivery trucks.

“We’ve transported some weird and wonderful things during our time at the airport including pies and Doug the Dog – named the world’s ugliest dog in the press. Doncaster Sheffield is one of only six airports in the country to enable animals to jet off with their owners by giving them their own passport through the Anglo European scheme.

“We are working closely with the team at the airport as our aim is to become the carrier of choice in Doncaster for air freight.”

Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA) is the UK's newest purpose built international airport, having commenced operation in April 2005 on the site of the former RAF Finningley air base. The Airport is located 7 miles from Doncaster and 25 miles from Sheffield, serving passengers across Yorkshire, the Humber and the North Midlands.

Steve Gill, Airport Director for Doncaster Sheffield Airport said: “We are delighted that Anglo European are expanding their business. Gary is a huge advocate of the airport and works closely with the team here.

“The new trucks look fantastic and they proudly display theRobin Hood Airport logo which will be seen on the roads up and down the country.

“We’ve recently heard that Gary has been awarded Yorkshire and Humber region Entrepreneur 2011 which is a fantastic achievement and we wish him well in the nationals.”
