About us
Over 75 years on the road.
E.T. Morris & Sons Ltd has been keeping goods moving since 1950.
From farm produce to imported cargo.
The business was founded by Edward Thomas “Ted” Morris, initially transporting agricultural products from local farms to markets in the cities.
As the business grew, E.T. Morris evolved from its agricultural roots into the transportation of imported cargoes arriving through the Port of Boston. The opening of our Hull depot in 1994 extended our presence along the east coast and provided an important base for serving customers across the UK.

TODAY
30 articulated vehicles
E.T. Morris operates a fleet of 30 articulated vehicles together with a range of specialist trailers, running transport and distribution throughout mainland UK.
The vehicles changed. The principles did not.
Although the business and the vehicles have changed considerably since 1950, the principles behind E.T. Morris remain much the same: reliability, experience and a straightforward approach to looking after our customers.
Safety is part of how we operate.
Safe and compliant transport is fundamental to our business.
For customers, this means working with an experienced transport operator that takes its responsibilities for people, vehicles, loads and other road users seriously.
- 01
Planned maintenance
Vehicle and trailer maintenance run to planned inspection programmes, not to breakdowns.
- 02
Driver training
Our drivers receive training appropriate to their roles and the work they undertake, including ADR training where required.
- 03
Procedures and tracking
Operational procedures and vehicle tracking, with ongoing management of transport and workplace safety.

Industry membership
A member of the Road Haulage Association, operating in accordance with the requirements applicable to UK commercial road transport.
Planned by a bespoke, state-of-the-art AI system.
Our traffic planning system uses a bespoke, state-of-the-art AI application to plan routes and loads. It works from live vehicle tracking across the fleet, so our transport team can match the right vehicle to each job and see where a return load fits.
Specialist business partners
We work alongside specialist partners in the areas that matter most to a responsible operator: the people who work for us, and the safety of everyone on and around our vehicles.
Human resources
Specialist HR advice and support, so our people are looked after as well as our customers.
Health & safety
Practical health and safety advice, audits, policies and training, keeping us compliant and our drivers safe.
Seventy-five years, and still answering the phone.
