Founded in 1968 by George Mackay Snr in Islington, London as Forward Traffic Services Ltd, the company delivered steel and paving to construction sites. His son George Mackay Jnr joined the business in the mid-1970s with George Snr retiring in the 1980s. George Jnr continued running the business until 2005 when he took a step back from the day-to day operations but remained active in the decision making and direction of the business.

Sadly, George Jnr  became unexpectedly ill in 2017 and passed away in January 2018.


The FTS Group is now under the ownership of George Jnr's children Stephen Mackay and Jane Mackay and has remained a thriving, successful business.

Adorned with the original FTS Crest, this vintage Foden was named after George Snr's wife Elizabeth 'Beth'
