We also offer storage facilities for shipping containers on both short- and long-term contracts at our many yards, this allows our customers to have flexibility in their import and export of goods, all yards are fully manned, have security on site and barriered on entry to keep containers secure.

Newell & Wright Group

Our Story

Newell & Wright Transport was formed in 1974 by Frank Newell and Paul Wright. In those early days, we were a small general haulage company, operating from rented premises. Over the following years we have grown substantially in size, resulting in the company changing premises three times before moving to the current 6.5 acre freehold site at Tinsley, Sheffield in 1987. 

These days, the Newell & Wright Group is a multimillion pound company with excellent financial status, it encompasses our haulage, 2 rail yards, Road Tanker manufacturing sites and Apollo fuel company.

We employ over 400 personnel all over the UK, many of whom have remained with the company as we have expanded. We can attribute our growth and success to delighting our customers, old and new, with the value for money and excellent all round services that we provide. 

Our clientele range from small businesses through to the high street retailers and blue chip companies, we run a large scale operation but we have kept a small family business ethos with excellent customer service at the heart of it.
