A Journey of Excellence in Road Haulage

From an Attic in 2019, to our current operating centre.

Transport Equipment Services Ltd Timeline

Since our founding, we have continuously evolved to meet the demands of the logistics industry, marking significant achievements along the way.

2015

Company Inception

Transport Equipment Services Ltd was established on Matt’s kitchen table with a mission to provide dependable road haulage services across the UK and Europe.

David Burgess and Matthew Dangerfield were appointed as directors, steering the company towards growth and innovation.

2016

Fleet Expansion

To accommodate increasing demand, we expanded our fleet, enhancing our ability to serve a wider range of clients.

Growing our fleet of trucks and trailers with a margin for trailers tied up with loads shunted by the night team.

2017

Refrigerated Delivery Services and Storage

We introduced refrigerated delivery options, utilising advanced genset trailers to meet the needs of temperature-sensitive shipments.

We expanded our facilities to offer secure storage solutions, providing clients with comprehensive logistics support beyond transportation.

2020

Our First Office - Away From The Attic

Took the commitment of moving to an office at Howard House.

2021

Seeing the Services Needed – Heavy Weight Boxes

Took on the yard and small warehouse at Sub-Station Road. Our Current Home.

To handle overweight container movements more efficiently, we invested in ultralight trailers, demonstrating our commitment to specialised transport solutions. Combined with our lightweight traction unit, we can take 32.220k shipping containers.

2024

Fleet Modernisation with New DAF Trucks

Continuing our commitment to excellence, we modernised our fleet by adding new DAF trucks, ensuring reliability and efficiency in our services.
