British Road Services
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
British Road Services (BRS) was the British road transport company formed by the nationalisation of Britain's road haulage industry, under the British Transport Commission, as a result of the Transport Act 1947.
Ultimately the company was made up of four main operating areas:
- British Road Services Ltd
- BRS Parcels Ltd
- Pickfords
- Containerway and Roadferry Ltd
It was eventually privatised to its employees under the Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher in 1988 to become the National Freight Company.
