From humble beginnings in 1954 to a modern fleet of over 70 vehicles, we’ve built a legacy rooted in family values and service excellence. Celebrate 70 years of Massey Wilcox and take a look at the journey that brought us here – and what the future holds.

The Early Days

In 1954, Douglas Massey and Henry Wilcox founded Massey Wilcox Transport with a single truck and a clear goal: to provide dependable, honest transport services to local businesses in the South West of England. With hard work and a strong commitment to their customers, Douglas and Henry laid the foundation for a company that would grow far beyond its modest origins.

In those early years, the business was built one load at a time, earning trust through reliability and a personal touch that only a family-run operation could offer. As word spread and customer demand increased, the company gradually expanded its fleet and facilities.

Growth Through Generations

The 1960s and ’70s marked a period of steady growth. New contracts with manufacturers and distributors allowed Massey Wilcox to broaden its reach and services. Under the guidance of the next generation of the Wilcox family, the company continued to invest in vehicles, infrastructure, and people.

By the 1980s, Massey Wilcox had established itself as a key logistics partner across the region. The company diversified its offerings to include warehousing and distribution, positioning itself as a one-stop solution for complex supply chain needs.

A Modern Fleet and Forward Thinking

Today, Massey Wilcox operates a fleet of over 70 modern, environmentally conscious vehicles and boasts more than 250,000 square feet of secure warehousing. But even as technology and logistics demands have evolved, our core values remain the same: integrity, commitment to service, and a genuine care for our customers and staff.

We’ve embraced new technologies to enhance fleet efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Our commitment to continuous improvement has allowed us to stay ahead of industry changes and meet the evolving needs of our clients.

Our People, Our Strength

Behind every vehicle on the road and every pallet in our warehouse is a dedicated team that makes it all possible. We’re proud to be a family business – not just in name, but in culture. Many of our team members have been with us for decades, and their loyalty and passion are the backbone of our success.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate 70 years in business, we’re not just looking back – we’re looking forward. The future of logistics will be shaped by sustainability, automation, and smarter supply chains, and Massey Wilcox is ready to lead the way.

With investments in electric vehicle trials, AI-based route planning, and sustainable warehousing, we’re committed to shaping a greener, more efficient industry while continuing to provide the dependable service our customers know and trust.
