§ 01 — About

A family-run haulier, built around the long view.

EWT Distribution is based in Berwick-upon-Tweed, on the England-Scotland border. We provide road transport, haulage and freight distribution to customers on both sides of the line and right across the United Kingdom.

Three generations of the Thompson family run the business. We are members of the Road Haulage Association, fully insured under current conditions of carriage, and operate twenty-four hours a day when the work requires it.

The point of a family business in this industry is straightforward: the same names answer the phone now that answered it ten years ago, and the same names will answer it ten years from now. That continuity is most of the value.

§ 02 — What we do

Four capabilities, refined over forty-five years.

We don't list everything we could conceivably do — we list what we do well. Each capability below reflects a discipline our customers rely on, year after year.

  1. N° 01 / 04
    UK Distribution

    From Berwick-upon-Tweed we run north into Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Highlands, and south through the A1 and M6 corridors to the Midlands, the South West and Greater London.

  2. N° 02 / 04
    24-Hour Operations

    For consignments that need to be at their destination for a specific time. Overnight, weekend or holiday — we run when the work requires it.

  3. N° 03 / 04
    Fully Insured Carriage

    All goods are carried under current Road Haulage Association conditions of carriage. Cover-specific goods-in-transit insurance available on request.

  4. N° 04 / 04
    Contract Haulage

    Ongoing distribution work for businesses that need a regular, dependable carrier embedded in their planning. Adequately equipped to manage most UK transport contracts.

"What you want from a haulier, really, is the absence of drama. Forty-five years of quietly getting on with the work."

§ 03 — Principles

The standards we hold ourselves to, and have done since 1979.

N° 01

Dependability

The point of a haulage partner is that they show up. Our customers organise their own businesses around our reliability — we don't take that lightly.

N° 02

Continuity

This is a family business in the literal sense. The same names answer the phone now that answered it ten years ago, and that consistency is most of the value.

N° 03

Protection

Every consignment moves under the current RHA conditions of carriage. The legal and insurance protections are as serious as the operational ones.

§ 04 — In their words
"Reliable, honest, and the driver always phones ahead. We've used EWT for years and they've never let us down on a delivery window."
Sarah Thomson
Director, Tweed Logistics
