Ant is passionate about creating value for his customers, continuous improvement, innovation, and to this day is driven by ‘making a difference’ with his hands on approach whilst ensuring everyone has some fun along the way too.

Ant is a rugby fanatic and has managed and coached Minis and Juniors, and on very rare occasions enjoys a round of golf.  The rest of the time when not working is spent with family, friends and his dog ‘Teddy’, or running around in his ‘mid-life crisis’ sports car.

Steven Richardson

(Honorary Life Time Chairman)

Steve oversaw all aspects of the business from its foundation back in 2002 to February 2021 when he decided it was time to have a change in life and decided to sell the company.

The new owners, Anthony and Peter, asked Steve to accept the honorary  position of  ‘Life Time Chairman’  so that his association with the company continued, Steve was happy to accept.

Steve started in the transport industry at the grand old age of 5 when he used to help his father deliver all sorts of goods around the country in the school holidays, then when he was 12 he started as a Saturday boy in his father’s yard and at that age he was hooked on transport and everything that went with it.

On leaving school at 16 he joined his father’s business full time spending many years firstly as warehouseman then as a driver, moving on to an office planner until 2000 when an opportunity arose for him to go it alone which is when STR Logistics was born!

Steve is a keen golfer and likes spending time on the golf course in his spare time. He will always find a few spare minutes to spend time with his dog Toby.
