The History Behind G J Ellis Haulage Ltd:
Ellis Transport in 1975
G J Ellis Haulage Ltd is a family run business with roots stretching back over five decades. The company’s story began in 1969, when Nobby Ellis founded the original business, then known as Ellis Transport, in Temple Guiting, Gloucestershire.
Nobby built the business from the ground up, working hard to establish a trusted local name in haulage. In its early years, Ellis Transport specialised in bulk animal feed, grain haulage, and bulk blowing services, serving farms and agricultural businesses across the region. Through dedication, reliability, and a strong work ethic, the company grew steadily and earned a solid reputation within the agricultural and haulage industries.
Following Nobby’s passing, the business was proudly taken on by his son, Gary Ellis, who continued his father’s legacy while also guiding the company into a new chapter. Under Gary’s leadership, the business evolved and was rebranded as G J Ellis Haulage Ltd, reflecting both the family name and the company’s expanding services beyond its original agricultural focus.
Today, G J Ellis Haulage Ltd remains committed to the same core values it was founded on: hard work, reliability, and personal service. While the company has grown and adapted over the years, its heart remains firmly rooted in its family origins and Gloucestershire heritage.
From its beginnings in Temple Guiting to its present-day operations, G J Ellis Haulage Ltd is proud to continue a legacy built on trust, experience, and generations of dedication to the haulage industry.
