 What ive wrote It all started in 1946 when John Stobart bought his first tractor and he began expanding his contracting work. Doing auricular jobs for farmers. Eddie Stobart, John’s son (Not to be mistaken for Edward) began working for his dad. He also earned money by chopping wood and selling it. As he grew older was given assets to the business, and he decided to buy a second hand lorry to transport the farming vehicles, but it wasn’t a good buy so he bought a new one. Eventually he had 3 Lorries, 3 tractors, 3 spreaders and a JCB. Edward arrived and he was occupied by money from a young age. In 1970 he bought 8 articulated Lorries and the company had 2 new share holders. Edward moved into premises in carline in 1976 they began getting orders from a large company called metal box and but later they got a full deal. from building up deals it built up vehicle numbers and was and still is on the road of success
