The Haulage Group Ltd - Administration

The Haulage Group Ltd, an historic family-owned haulage business based in Birmingham, entered administration on 28 May.

The company, which was founded in 1960, has operating licences for 70 trucks and 70 trailers.

Last year, the company was prosecuted by the Health & Safety Executive after an employee died at a site it owned in Birmingham, resulting in a total fine of £2.2 million, £300,000 of which was owed by the company.

Edward Avery-Gee, Daniel Richardson and Nick Brierley of CG were appointed as joint administrators.
