In 1950 the company’s name was changed to Mars-Jones Ltd, it's current name today.  Although the story of its name doesn't end there.

The first office opened in “Back row” Denbigh, but soon expanded and moved to the a warehouse at the bottom of Grove Rd, Denbigh. This would be their home until the mid-1970’s.  In 1975, the company was on the move again and moved onto the Colomendy Industrial Estate for the first time. 

With the orders from the farmers increasing in size the company began to offer ‘bulkers’ for loose animal feed delivering direct from the local mill in Denbigh.  This was a hugely popular with the farms as it allowed them to buy in bulk and therefore save on cost.

Here is a picture of the team outside the office in September 1978. At the time of writing this article, three people in the picture are still working for Mars-Jones Ltd, a feat in itself.

Initially only running bulker lorries (as pictured above) the company quickly expanded and in 1994 went back into General Haulage with various contracts gained from the likes of Dynoplast. 

Mars-Jones joins the pallet network, Pall-Ex, to become a leading member depot.  This move also includes the exclusive delivery territory of North Wales.

Mars-Jones Ltd were delighted to announce the opening of our new depot on Deeside industrial estate.Alongside our Denbigh site, this facility is required to meet our ever expanding customer demand and will enhance our capacity to store over 5,000 pallets.

After completing the move, Phillip Mars-Jones commented;

“This facility will strengthen our presence as a key Third-Party Provider (3PL) provider in the area and will cement our position in North East Wales. The expansion will create several new jobs, which is always a positive move for the local economy.”

In December 2020, seasoned transport operators Chris Flynn and Paul Newton acquired Mars-Jones Ltd. Initiating a wave of transformative change for the once-static company. Under their guidance, the business maximised truck load capacities, modernised its fleet, and underwent a vibrant rebranding.

The strategic shift from Denbigh to Deeside opened doors to expansive warehousing and a broader UK client base, solidifying its identity beyond just a Welsh haulier. Key appointments, including Craig May and Rikki Campbell, were instrumental in this evolution. Prioritising quality, Mars-Jones secured a BRC AA accreditation, embraced a new fleet of trailers, and joined Pallet Track. This pivot catalyzed a turnover surge from £4.5m to £6m, emblematic of Mars-Jones Ltd.'s adaptability in the dynamic logistics arena.
