This is the former operator. For the small A40/M50 services near Ross-on-Wye, see Ross Spur.

Ross (also known as MotoRoss) ran some of the older motorway services on the network, most notably Leicester Forest East. They were an arm of a food giant which today still focuses on frozen foods - one of their main features at their services was a 'Captain's Table' restaurant.

They quit the motorway market to focus on fish in the early 1980s, selling their services to Hanson Trust, who used them to recreate the Welcome Break name.
