Haulage For Sale in Midlands
GENERAL HAULAGE OPERATOR in the Midlands for Sale.Established in the early 1980s, the company is a respected family-run general haulage operator with a strong reputation for reliability and long-standing customer relationships. Over four decades, it has grown from a single-vehicle operation into a well-established transport business serving clients across Northern England and Scotland.
The business specialises in flatbed haulage for the construction, timber and engineering sectors, with a particular strength in Scottish deliveries. A key competitive advantage is its access to regular return loads from both North and South Scotland, providing strong route efficiency and dependable recurring work.
It benefits from a loyal customer base, with several key clients generating repeat business over many years. Demand has remained consistently strong, with the business generally operating at full capacity and relying almost entirely on referrals and reputation rather than active sales or marketing.
Supported by a modern, well-maintained fleet of tractor units and trailers, together with established supplier relationships and strategically located leasehold premises in the Midlands, complemented by an operational presence in Scotland.
The company is supported by an experienced workforce and a stable management structure, with strong staff retention reflecting its family-led culture.
The shareholders are seeking to exit due to other business interests and believe the business offers significant growth potential through fleet expansion, commercial development and further customer penetration. Transitional support would be available to ensure a smooth handover.

Showing annual turnover £1,848,399 Year ending March 2025
Established 44-year trading history
