1905 - Agricultural Logistics
No more than a mile from our current site, Cannon was an early logistics company that would utilise horse and cart to move farmed goods up and down milton hill.
1946 - Forming a Limited Company
This marked the launch of warehousing and a new distribution fleet with intentions to expand adapting to the industrial developments at the time.
1950s - A34 Development
Cannon utilised its established logistics fleet and warehousing capabilities to provide a combination of infrastructure storage and material supply throughout the development.
1960s - Packing & Fulfilment
The 1960s saw Cannon continue to grow by diversifying its core services, creating greater value for customers and providing new opportunities for sustained business growth.
1999 - Principality Stadium Development
A notable project for Cannon, implementing a similar approach to the A34 development but on a larger scale. The Millennium Stadium, now known as the Principality Stadium, is home to Welsh rugby and has hosted some of the UK's most significant sporting events.
2007 - Wembley Stadium Development
Possibly the world’s most iconic stadium, Wembley required warehousing and logistics on a massive scale, with Cannon supporting the development through efficient storage, handling and supply of materials throughout the project.
2020s - Where are we now?
Adapting alongside the rise of modern technologies such as AI has become essential, as technology continues to transform the way we live and work at an accelerating pace. Staying ahead of this change is therefore crucial, which has led Cannon to expand into B2C eCommerce fulfilment, positioning the business to support the demands of the future.
