Our Rich History

JJ Prior was founded in 1870. Seeing the benefit of river transportation the company quickly built up a fleet of river vessels and purchased a quarry in 1933.

 

By 1947 the Prior family business was involved in road and river transportation and the production of sand and gravel. In the 1990s the company we relocated to our current headquarters in Fingringhoe, Essex.

 

2015 saw the purchase of a larger vessel to continue trading along the River Thames for the next 10 years.
