Notts haulage company snapped up by logistics giant

Two Midlands companies are set to join forces as a Nottinghamshire-based haulage and waste removal business has been acquired by Birmingham’s global logistics specialist, Onpoint Group.

Eric Elliott Transport, a well-established name in the Midlands since the 1950s, offers a range of services across agriculture, construction, demolition and recycling.

Alex Bush, Onpoint’s commercial director said: “This acquisition is a milestone in our growth journey, allowing us to better serve our customers in Nottingham and beyond. By combining our teams’ experience and capabilities, we are positioned to deliver even greater value, efficiency and sustainability across our operations.

“This move is not just about growth for Onpoint Group, it’s about enhancing the customer experience and setting new standards in our industry.”

From the acquisition, Onpoint will now offer bulk haulage, walking-floor trailers, muck-away services, grab hire, aggregates supply and recycling.

The transaction was led by Oliver Rigby, KBS corporate deal executive. Legal advisers on the deal were Andrew King of Duncan & Toplis, along with the team at Mackrell Solicitors led by James McKimm and Guvvy Sandhu.
