Delivering Excellence in Transport Since 1969

From humble beginnings to a nationwide fleet, we ensure your goods reach their destination safely, efficiently, and on time.

Our Journey

R.T. Keedwell Group started in 1969 with a single truck and a commitment to reliability. Founded by Ray Keedwell, our company quickly grew from local haulage to a trusted national transport provider. Over the decades, we have expanded our fleet, invested in advanced technology, and grown our team to serve clients across the UK.
