Our story starts when Lobina Transport’s owner Simon Lobina was a teenager, working for pocket money helping his father make deliveries in the family food and wine business. Simon’s father Gino, who had moved to England in the 1960s, was importing quality Italian produce including olive oil, salami, pasta, tomatoes and wine and selling and delivering it to Italian families who had made their home in the Midlands and the North of England. These families missed the unique taste of home and visits from Gino Lobina’s delivery drivers were eagerly anticipated. The foundations for Lobina Transport’s unique vision and values were laid here. The business thrived because of the long term relationships the Lobina family forged with the Italian community across the UK. Loyalty, reliability and honesty were their watchwords. Soon they were being asked to deliver parcels, arrange removals of furniture and many more transport jobs between Sardinia, Italy and the United Kingdom.
