Samuel Grant Group is pleased to announce the acquisition of Transport Packaging Solutions (TPS). The acquisition comes after the unfortunate passing of TPS owner Terry Hughes in September 2024. In light of his passing, the business sought the best future opportunities, and Samuel Grant Group’s commitment to high-quality, innovative packaging solutions made them the perfect partner for this next chapter.
TPS, a well-regarded name in the industry, specialises in steel strapping and export container packing solutions, both of which will complement and expand Samuel Grant Group’s established operations. The steel strapping and polyester strapping, strapping tool sales and maintenance, along with dunnage bags for export container stability will be delivered by Samson Pallet Stability in Sheffield, an integral part of the Samuel Grant Group.
“We are excited about this acquisition and the opportunity to bring together two highly complementary businesses,” said Andrew Grant, Group Managing Director of Samuel Grant Group. “Transport Packaging Solutions has an outstanding reputation, and we are honoured to continue Terry Hughes’s legacy. This takes SPS expertise in securing heavy and potentially dangerous loads to a higher level.”
“It’s clear to see that the Samuel Grant Group’s values and culture are very similar to TPS and therefore we’re an excellent fit,” said Julie-Anne Hughes, Daughter of TPS’s founder Terry. “You can tell that they are very family orientated, and this is echoed throughout all their employees. My Dad built a family-focused company, and our longstanding employees are testament to the opportunities he provided for people. We remain very grateful for everything he created for the family and the team, and we think he’d be proud to see this continued by Samuel Grant Group.”
With this acquisition, Samuel Grant Group remains committed to providing the highest level of customer service, product innovation, and technical expertise. The addition of TPS’s specialised capabilities will enhance the group’s ability to serve industries ranging from logistics and manufacturing to export and beyond.
