The company was first established in 1958 and became a plc in 1977.  The company was taken over in 1982 by Epsley Tyas, to become part of their European wide group of companies.  At this time in Howard Tenens’ development it was not only a logistics provider but was also involved in manufacture and sub-assembly for the automotive industry.

Peter Morris, the current owner and Chief Executive, undertook a management buy out in 1983.  Since 1983 the company has gone from strength to strength with the acquisition of sites in Swindon, Sharpness, Andover, Aveley, Barking, Boston, Hull and Wellesbourne and outbases in Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds and Derby. 

Howard Tenens is now a recognised brand within logistics solutions and prides itself on having many of its clients for over 20 years.
