Our four brands work together to deliver visionary logistics solutions for our customers.
All four of our businesses have been built from highly reputable family businesses. The core principles that enabled each business to grow remain with us today.
We are deeply proud of our heritage, but we never lose sight of the future – always pushing for more to ensure we continuously deliver visionary logistics solutions for our customers.
Established in 1918, Gregory Distribution originated in the South West of England hauling coal from the local station. Significant growth saw the business expand into warehousing and specialist services such as milk collection. The distinctive brown and yellow livery continues to populate the South West of England but is now also seen across the entire UK.
Gregory DistributionHayton Coulthard is the oldest of all our businesses dating back to 1916 when Peter Coulthard delivered newspapers by motorbike and sidecar. Hayton Coulthard and Gregory Group first started working together in the 80s, and a joint venture was established in 2010. A powerhouse of Scottish transport, if you need something moving, Hayton Coulthard can help.
Hayton CoulthardARR Craib joined the Gregory Group family in 2018 after a 35-year history supporting the oil & gas and paper industries in the northeast of Scotland. This sector expertise continues today, with some very long-standing customer partnerships in these sectors. Craib is home to our Scottish pallet network, collecting and delivery thousands of pallets every week.
CraibGeorge Pollock began his cartage business in 1935 and saw consistent growth as each decade passed. In 2021 Pollock became part of the Gregory Group, bringing with it deep roots in the central belt of Scotland. This means the Pollock team understand the geographical challenges of Scottish transportation, and they also know how to overcome them!
PollockGregory Group consists of four businesses which have deep rooted histories, and all share the same pride in service excellence and the same drive to keep achieving more. These core values unite us and are what enable us to delivery visionary logistics for our customers.
Together, we have the scale and national coverage to provide the flexibility that makes our customer’s lives easier. Whether warehouse space or transportation, we can flex up and down to support demand whenever it is needed. All safe in the knowledge that the level of service will continue to be exceptional.
It's all in a name
If you are an eagle-eyed truck enthusiast, you will have noted that our Hayton Coulthard and Pollock vehicles all have individual names. This has been a long-held tradition, so when Pollock recently welcomed “Simply the Best”, “Doddie’s Legacy”, “Golden Girl”, “Rapid Reiver” and “Flying Scotsman” to the fleet, we explored the process behind the naming conventions. It is a story of passion and paths aligning.
Pollock receives Amazon sustainability award
We proudly received the Amazon UK Sustainability Above and Beyond Award at the recent Amazon FASTforward conference in recognition of our focus on renewable logistics.
