The company was originally set up in 1918 by Arthur Spriggs. He had only one lorry which he used for removals, transporting locally produced leather and collecting coal from the railways. The business was based in Higham Ferrers which is a small market town close to Rushden , Northampshire.
Arthur had six children, his plan was for his sons Derek & Billy to join the business when they were old enough. Sadly Billy was a Squadron Leader in the Air Force and was killed in the Second World War. Derek with the help of his wife Jean started to expand the business in the late 1950's. Jean was doing the accounts, while raising their 5 boys. The main bulk of the work was in and around the Rushden area.
In the early 1990's a depot was set up in Gloucestershire.
