Family owned since 1933  · serving you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year

Transport, storage and container services

From a single pallet to a fully managed supply chain — collected, stored, picked and delivered by one family firm, on one fleet, since 1933.

How it fits together

Your suppliers, our site, your customers.

Most hauliers do one link in that chain. We do all four, on one fleet, from one site in Glastonbury — so choose a service and see where it sits.

What we do

Five services, one company.

Every one of them runs out of our own site, on our own fleet, with our own people. Nothing is subcontracted out and then explained away, and the one we are still working on says so.

Bonded storage

We are looking at opening a customs warehouse here. Tell us what you would keep in bond.

Bonded warehousing lets you hold imported goods without paying the customs duty or the import tax until they move. We are not an authorised customs warehouse yet — we are finding out how much demand there is in the South West before we apply, and the importers who tell us are the ones it gets built around.

  • Not yet authorised
  • Register your interest
  • On our BRCGS AA site
  • Straight from the port

Common questions

What we do, answered.

If what you need is not here, ring the yard on 01458 831742 — somebody who plans loads will answer, 24 hours a day.

What services do you offer?

Five today: pallet delivery and road haulage, ambient storage, container destuffing, pick and pack fulfilment, and fully managed transport. Tracking and proof of delivery come with all of them. Bonded storage is a sixth we are looking at opening — see the bonded storage page.

Can you do more than one at once?

That is usually how it works. A container that is destuffed has to be stored, picked and delivered — and all four of those happen on our own site, on our own fleet, on one invoice.

What is the difference between ambient and bonded storage?

It is the same racking. Ambient storage is goods stored at room temperature with no cooling or humidity control, and it is what we do today. Bonded storage is for imported goods, held with the customs duty and the import tax suspended until they are released or re-exported — that needs a customs warehouse authorisation, which we are looking at applying for.

Do you subcontract any of it?

No. It is our trucks, our warehouse and our people, out of one seven-acre site in Glastonbury. Nothing is handed to somebody else and explained away later.

Are you accredited?

Our 120,000 sq ft warehouse and container storage facilities are all accredited to the BRCGS Standard at grade AA, the independent food safety accreditation supermarkets and major organisations audit against.

Which service do I need?

If you are not sure, say what you are moving, where it starts and where it has to be. We will tell you which of the six it is — or that it is two of them, which it often is.
