Dennis Wilfred Oates, born in St. Ives, Cornwall in 1929, youngest son of a Cornish tin miner, started in haulage in 1951 with a Commer Q4 Tipper hauling sand and concrete blocks. Deliveries were made to farms around the St. Ives area as well as shovelling out 4 to 6 loads of coal a day from St. Ives railway station to Treggenna Castle Hotel in the town. In the late 50s/early 60s Dennis had a 10 ton Bedford carrying Cornish vegetables through to UK wholesaler’s fruit markets, retuning home with animal feeds. In the early 70s the first of many Volvo F88’s arrived and he branched out into refrigerated transport which continues to this day, hauling fresh fish throughout Europe. The fleet totals 14 Scania and DAFs with approx. 20 fridges and along with storage facilities are based on a 2 acre site in Penzance. Dennis Oates Snr. is still as active now as he ever was overseeing his business with his three sons Dennis, Graham and Edward.
