Since our inception in 1948, Hammond Transport has been a cornerstone of the logistics industry and storage in Essex, serving customers with unwavering dedication and commitment. With three generations of Hammond family leadership, the company’s journey from the bustling docks of East London to our modern-day headquarters and warehouse storage in Essex is a testament to our resilience, adaptability and pursuit of excellence.
1948 to 1950s: Canning Town, London E16
Founded by George Hammond in 1948, we began our journey in the heart of East London’s bustling docks. From our base in Canning Town, we quickly established ourselves as a reliable provider of freight transportation services, delivering goods to destinations across London and the home counties.
1950s to 1970s: Plaistow, London E13
As the company grew, George Hammond was joined by his sons George and Fred, who became integral members of the team. Together, they expanded Hammond Transport’s reach, serving local industries, manufacturers and docks with unparalleled dedication and expertise.
1970s to 1980s: Stratford, London E15
With the decline of the docks and the rise of containerisation, Hammond Transport adapted to the changing landscape of the industry. Transitioning into container transport, we moved our operations to a purpose-built base in Stratford, E15, laying the foundation for future growth and success.
1990s to 2000: Basildon, Essex
In the 1990s, Hammond Transport made a strategic decision to relocate to Basildon, Essex, marking a new chapter in our storied history. Embracing the opportunities offered by the county’s strategic location and thriving business environment, we diversified our services to include storage and distribution, specialising in timed deliveries and dedicated vehicle movements across the UK and Europe.
2000s to Present: Billericay, Essex
At the dawn of the new millennium, we moved to our present 3-acre site in Billericay, Essex, solidifying our presence in the county and reaffirming our commitment to excellence. With state-of-the-art facilities and a diverse fleet of quality trucks and trailers, we expanded our service offerings to include storage, distribution and loading services, catering to the evolving needs of our customers with precision and efficiency.
