____________________________________________________________________________________________ Welch ’ s Transport
We ’ re the longest standing member of the Transport Association , having superseded its original founders
we ’ ve steadily consolidated our operations closer to our home counties . As far back as my grandfather ’ s reign , you didn ’ t have emails or the mobile technology that we rely on today , so when something went wrong at two am up in Edinburgh say , you had to drive up yourself to sort things out !
Comprehensive capabilities
“ In doing so , however , we ’ ve been able to diversify our offering to a certain degree . Welch ’ s now has its own crane hire and specialist movement divisions for moving abnormal loads , a Renault franchised truck and van center , and an e-commerce 3PL line . Overall , it ’ s a nicely diverse package , which gives us the capability to move almost anything for anyone .”
Welch ’ s fleet comprises 80 vehicles of varying size and capability . Within it , there is a number of larger units that support its specialist movement division and around 35 44-ton taught liners , with the remaining balance being made up of its collection of 26 and 18 ton radial network vehicles for local groupage , and a single 19 ton EV lorry . The organization ’ s two primary networks , Palletline and Hazchem , generally provide around 40 percent of its business , but in terms of clear volume , it moves around 2500 pallets a day and possesses 100,000 square feet of warehousing .
