We’re proud to share the latest addition to our fleet – a trailer purchased at a very special event with an even greater purpose. This new trailer was acquired during the Transport Association 70th anniversary weekend, and it’s a purchase that carries much more than freight – it carries meaning, mission, and impact.
What Is the Transport Association and Why Does It Matter?
The Transport Association is a trusted network of independent haulage companies across the UK. For over 70 years, it has brought together like-minded logistics operators, promoting collaboration, innovation, and operational excellence. Membership of the Transport Association gives hauliers access to a wealth of shared knowledge, support, and best practices.
Farrall’s Group has long valued the benefits of being part of the Transport Association it’s about more than business; it’s about building lasting relationships and driving standards across the transport industry.
Celebrating 70 Years of the Transport Association
This year marked a major milestone, 70 years of the Transport Association supporting the UK haulage industry. To celebrate, members gathered for a special weekend at Silverstone filled with events, networking, and fundraising.
The highlight? A charity auction to raise money for the Air Ambulance – a vital service that delivers life-saving emergency medical care where it’s needed most. Every mission carried out by the Air Ambulance costs around £4,000, and the auction raised an incredible £25,000 – enough to fund six emergency missions.
A Trailer That Gives Back
We were proud to successfully bid on a brand-new trailer during the auction. While it’s a practical and valuable addition to our fleet, the real impact is the support it provides to the Air Ambulance charity. This trailer symbolises how transport businesses can give back to the communities we serve and support those who support us in return.
Why This Matters to Farrall’s Group
At Farrall’s Group, we believe in responsible business – not just delivering goods, but delivering value to our community, our industry, and our people.
Matthew Farrall, Managing Director of Farrall’s Group, had to say about the event:
“Being part of the Transport Association means being part of something bigger than just your own business – it’s a network built on trust, support, and shared values. Purchasing this trailer at the TA’s 70th anniversary auction was not only a great opportunity for us operationally, but also a chance to give back to a life-saving cause. The Air Ambulance provides an incredible service, and we’re proud that our contribution will help fund six critical missions. It’s a real reminder of the power of our industry when we come together.”
The Transport Association: Driving Industry Unity
Events like this prove just how valuable the Transport Association is – not only in improving how we operate but in giving us the opportunity to create meaningful change. We’re honoured to have taken part in this special celebration and are proud to see our new trailer out on the road, flying the flag for an industry that knows how to come together for good.
