Roger Warnes Transport

What Roger Warnes Transport does

Roger Warnes Transport Ltd is a family-owned UK bulk haulage business established in 1975 in Great Dunham, Norfolk. The company operates a 100-strong mixed fleet of tipper trucks split between its original Great Dunham head office and a more recently acquired King's Lynn depot, alongside a 30,000-tonne TASCC-assured bulk storage facility. Its offering centres on bulk tipping haulage and integrated bulk storage-with-haulage services, targeting businesses moving bulk goods such as agricultural combinable crops and construction materials across Norfolk and surrounding areas. Pricing is quote-based, revenue is generated through transaction fees per haulage contract and likely recurring storage fees, and the go-to-market is sales-led direct B2B engagement.

The group structure includes wholly owned entities Warnes Commercials (a DVSA Approved Authorised Testing Facility and Tachograph Calibration Centre that also offers commercial vehicle sales), Keith Hanson Road Transport, and Laws Transport, extending the brand portfolio and adding adjacent regulatory and asset-disposal revenue streams. Distribution is regional and direct, supported by a basic website with quote-request functionality, a customer portal (Transmas), and organic social presence on Facebook and Twitter. The business is privately held with no external institutional investors and no disclosed financial figures.
