The Premier League may have kicked off this weekend, but it also marked the debut of a brand-new team: Appledore Lions Development Team.

As a grassroots club, Appledore Lions has built a strong core of experienced senior players who are helping to develop and mentor young talent as they make the transition into men's football. Manager Rob Ousely approached Evans Transport to become a joint kit sponsor for the development team alongside Tarka Removals, and we were delighted to support the initiative.

Saturday saw the team proudly wear their new shirts for their first league fixture against Merton. The occasion was made even more memorable with an impressive 7–4 victory.

Supporting local teams and helping new community initiatives thrive is something we are proud to be involved in, and we wish Appledore Lions every success for the season ahead.

It has been a busy week for our Bulk hashtagHaulage division helping to deliver Feed to various storage hubs on behalf of Mole Valley Farmers who landed two vessels into Appledore North Devon.  As a hashtagTASCC accredited Haulier we have been on hand to get the feed-stuffs to their destination ready to be deployed into the food chain.

The area of Appledore, Northam & Bideford has a rich maritime history with Bideford once being the 3rd largest port in England. Commodities such as Timber & Tobacco were imported from America and exports such as cloth, pottery and clays were sent around the world from here. The area has an incredible history for shipbuilding so it is great to see vessels still coming into the North Devon Coast.

Appledore was also where Evans Transport Ltd head office was based from 1981 until after the acquisition of Lameys distribution, at the time taking the fleet from 15 to 25 vehicles.
