A UK family haulage company has dropped into liquidation, with 36 years of experience expected to be lost. Ardens - Tile Farm is a family run site on the outskirts of Chester, Cheshire offering contracting, haulage, storage and more.
From the site runs Ardens Haulage Limited, a transport company specialising in carrying farm produce in bulk. Using its own wagons and dedicated in-house vehicles, the company carries goods in bulk tipper trailers, mainly servicing Liverpool and Manchester.
The trucks are also used to carry raw materials from the processors or the docks to local mills. However, the business appears to have fallen into difficulty, with the London Gazette reporting that liquidators were appointed back on 30 March.
The notice was published in the London Gazette earlier in April, with Elizabeth Welch appointed to oversee the liquidation. A resolution for winding up order was also published on the same day, stating the business was being "wound up voluntarily".
Companies House has also officially stated that the company's status is in 'liquidation'. Liquidators are usually appointed to close down a business, taking control to sell assets, pay creditors, and shut down operations.
Ardens Haulage Limited claims to have started services back in 1990 with one wagon for their own produce. However, according to Companies House, the haulage side of the business was only incorporated back in 2010.
It's not the only haulage company to fall into difficulty in recent weeks, with a series of similar notices recorded in the London Gazette. Roger Petch Transport Limited, a haulage company based in Yorkshire, also dropped into liquidation in April.
The brand, specialising in bulk tippers and carrying everything from sand, stone, ash, coal, and biomass, appointed administrators back on 9 April. Martyn Barratt Transport Limited, another haulage company based in Nottingham, dropped into administration on 13 April 2026.
John K Philips Group Limited, a UK transport company in operation since 1974, also entered administration last week.
