Like many Family-Owned Operators established in the early years of Motor Vehicles W Gordon & Sons were a general carrier delivering coal around the locality. The Company's first passengers were miners who needed transport to one of the local Coal Mines at Thurcroft, then before long this increased to taking workers to collieries all around the Rotherham area.
David's father Robert joined the business in the 1920's, along with David's Uncle Roger who was involved until his retirement, when he was bought out by his brother Robert Gordon.
For many years the Company concentrated on Contract work, School transport, Day trip's and Private hire as well as operating commercially for a time.
