moving heaven and earth
Warsop based Bowring Transport has grown from a one man operation with a single lorry to a multi-million pound transport business.
In 1951 Bill Bowring had no idea that his small livestock transporting business would flourish into one of the largest privately owned transport fleets in the East Midlands.
Agricultural
haulage
The business began with moving livestock for farmers to the markets of North Nottinghamshire, before progressing into general agricultural haulage and carrying loads such as fertiliser, corn and sugar beet.
Company
formation
In 1974, Bill’s wife and their two sons, Chris and David Bowring, formed the company Bowring Transport Limited. Although the company was still involved in the agricultural haulage market, the business then branched out into the transportation of building waste and materials for road reconstruction projects.
First
purchase
Bowring Transport purchased it’s first articulated vehicle in 1976, expanding the fleet of eight wagons and fifteen staff. Today the fleet stands at an impressive 90 plus vehicles and 100 plus staff covering all aspects of specialist haulage.
