OUR HISTORY
Willmotts Transport Ltd was founded in 1918 by George Willmott at the end of the First World War, with its base in Wells, Somerset. Willmotts Transport’s first fleet started with an ex RAF Leyland. In 1936, they bought their first AEC vehicle, which set a precedent for the future, with further purchases being AEC. Originally the core work was moving cheese, paper, and drink, and servicing the local agricultural industry.
In the 1980s Willmotts Transport changed to a fleet of predominantly DAFs, operating 80 trucks and 150 trailers at their peak; when they moved to their existing home in Waterlip, near Shepton Mallet and proceeded to build workshops and two 20,000 square ft ambient warehouses on the site. Willmotts Transport today has grown to be a renowned independent haulier, with its roots firmly based in the Mendips in Somerset.
