About Us

Anyone keen on puzzles may like to ponder the following - what have Neil Armstrong (the first man on the moon), the pop band Genesis, and a model of a football stadium in common?

Answer - they have all been taken to their destinations by David Fox Transport.

The company was founded by David William Fox in 1969 when he was 18. He was fortunate to be able to call on the advice of his father, Alexander Ballantyne Fox who had his own personal experience of the haulage industry, having worked for R Rankin & Son.

In the early days, David Fox worked alone, operating a van hire business and undertaking emergency express deliveries.

Close family involvement is one of the features of the company, and today David Fox Transport is a family run, medium sized road haulage company specialising in the transport of steel, newsprint and chemicals throughout the UK.
