Manufacturer description

Collett Transport was set up over 40 years ago in Keighley, Yorkshire, when David's father and grandfather started the firm of Richard Collett trading as R Collett & Sons. Original loads were a lot lighter than today's 150-tonne CAT3 traffic, as Collett carried churns on flatbed lorries for the Milk Marketing Board (MMB). The introduction of the UK to the Common Market in 1971 sounded the end of transporting milk by churns and Richard decided not to invest in tankers and Collett began to establish itself as a general haulage operator
