London based consortium of Landowner, Freight Specialist and Financier have put together the audacious proposal.

Land Owner, Piers Monckton of Stretton Hall

A city investment manager, pilot and chairman of the local Country Land Owners Association, owns a huge strip of local agricultural land, but is not very keen on farming. Has been behind most of the Mineral Rights (sand & gravel) applications around South Staffs.
