Our story began with a single horse-drawn wagon delivering coal to local homes and businesses. From those humble days, we’ve grown into a trusted name in haulage, known for our dependable service and the generations of the Wainwright family who have kept the wheels turning.

More than just lorrys

Still run by the same family, our company is now in the dedicated hands of two brothers who started working here in their early teens. Now in their 80s, they still watch over the yard they’ve known their whole lives — keeping the proud Wainwright tradition alive for Ashby and beyond.

From local deliveries to national contracts, castles to coastlines, we’re here to keep your goods moving — safely, reliably, and with the same family spirit that’s guided us for more than a century.
