M J Laycock Heavy Haulage is a proud family-run business with deep roots in the haulage industry. While the company has been operating under its current name for over 25 years, our experience and heritage stretch back much further.

In 2021, M J Laycock took ownership of the business, bringing with him decades of hands-on experience within the heavy haulage sector — including many successful years working with J Smiths of Bury, a company with an impressive 150-year legacy in transport and logistics.

That heritage of precision, reliability and professionalism now forms the foundation of everything we do today.
