Specialist Bulk Liquid Transport Services
Established in 2001, Hewicks Haulage has grown from a two-lorry operation to a fleet of 57 vehicles, serving the UK's bulk liquid transportation needs. Our founder, Chris Hewick, leveraged 20 years of experience in the pig industry to create a business specialising in feed oils, fats, food waste products, and liquid fertiliser. Operating under the AIC scheme TASCC, we maintain stringent hygiene and security standards for the food/feed sector. With a purpose-built facility near Bury St Edmunds, we offer 24/7 nationwide haulage, onsite servicing, and a dedicated tank wash facility.Our expansion over two decades reflects our commitment to quality, including the 2022 formation of an Employee Ownership Trust. Our team of over 50 drivers and advanced maintenance infrastructure ensure reliable collections and deliveries. We invest continuously in facilities, including a three-bay workshop with brake testing equipment and staff parking for 100 cars. Our partnerships with Cave Liquid Haulage and focus on co-products merchandising demonstrate our industry leadership. This heritage positions us as a trusted partner for specialist traction and fleet support services.
