Irthlingborough is a working town on the River Nene in North Northamptonshire, just across the valley from Higham Ferrers and a short hop from the A6 and A45. It has a genuine manufacturing base: Whitworths, the home-baking and dried-fruit company, has been on Wellingborough Road since 1886, and Sonifex has designed and built radio broadcast equipment on Station Road since 1969. Add the town’s footwear heritage and you have a place that needs dependable haulage in and out every week.

Links to the A6, A45 and A14
Irthlingborough is well placed for outbound freight. The A6 runs north towards Kettering and the A14, the A45 runs east-west between Northampton and Cambridge, and the A14 from junction 13 carries traffic to Felixstowe and the Midlands. We use those routes to keep transit times tight, and for abnormal loads we handle the route planning and notifications.
