Desborough is a North Northamptonshire town with a strong industrial past and a working present. Famous for footwear since the 1860s, it is still home to shoemaking, including Cheaney shoes which have been made in the town since 1886. The A6 Rothwell and Desborough bypass, opened in 2003, took through traffic out of the town centre and improved access to the modern Magnetic Park estate on Eagle Avenue. From our Northampton base we serve Desborough’s manufacturers and trade businesses with the full range of haulage.

Connections via the A6 and A14
The A6 runs north from Desborough towards Market Harborough and south towards Kettering, where it meets the A14. From there freight can travel east to Felixstowe or west towards the M6 and M1, giving the town good reach to the ports and the wider motorway network. For oversized or heavy loads we plan the route and arrange any escort cover and notifications that are needed.
