Tony is considered the operational heart of Lubbers by many. And for the right reasons. At the age of 17, he started working with his father, a self-employed operator truck driver. Together they developed Ron Tailford Haulage (RTH) in the UK. By the age of 25, Tony was running the company.
Tony is a self-taught worker. He learned all the aspects of running a transport company, including running the yard, planning, developing the fleet and staff management by doing the job.
