Jack Richards |

The company was started at Haddenham, Cambridgeshire in May 1956 by Jack
Richards, trading as J.W Richards with a five ton Bedford lorry which he
bought for £150. The business became very successful after offering a
nightly service from Cambridgeshire to the Nottingham wholesale fruit
and vegetable market. Customers were soon added in the Mansfield area as
were regular trips to Ripley and Derby markets. With the ever increasing
demand for quality fresh produce the fleet grew rapidly and with it the
numbers of staff. During the mid seventies the company earned the title
of "Britain’s number one spud specialist" with the capability of moving
1000 tons of potatoes a day. With the steady growth of the company and a
developing customer base they moved into more general haulage.
Curtainside trailers became more popular and because of the high quality
of service the company became hauliers for many blue chip companies,
with customers like Lever Bros and Kellogg’s. Today the company has a
very experienced and committed management team at both Fakenham and
Northwich with plans for further expansion.
