SME News Q4 2024/ 14 Road Haulage Business Leader of the Year 2024: Lousie Adkins & Most Trusted Heavy Haulage Company 2024 – England Share Haulage is a frontrunning road transport company based in Nuneaton but operating across the entire UK. The company offers a range of stress-free haulage solutions that range from small vans to heavy haulage, in addition to a comprehensive transport consultancy service to streamline processes and ensure compliance across the board. Having saved money for countless clients, in the form of mitigating unnecessary overheads and promoting best strategies, Share Haulage has been named in the British Made Awards 2024. Below, we speak with Louise Adkins, Owner and Managing Director of Share Haulage, to learn more. Incorporated in 2002, Share Haulage is the leading haulage company that promises to take the stress out of transport for its clientele. Providing everything from logistics planning to the transportation itself, Share Haulage has established itself as a reliable partner for any and all transportation needs. Share Haulage works with all manner of clients, aiding with standard pallet shipments, heavy haulage items and machinery for plants, and more. The company stands out for the exceptional levels of service and care it offers to clients and their goods. Share Haulage believes that the driver acts as a representative of its clientele and their goods, and as such promotes friendliness, approachability, and helpfulness as crucial components of its service. Owned and operated by Louise Adkins, Share Haulage is a successful company with a long history of development. Louise was born and raised in Rugby and spent more than 20 years in the transport business before deciding to buy out the previous owner of Share Haulage. Upon taking the role of Managing Director at the company, Louise set to turning around the business, transforming the previous lossmaking establishment into one of profit. With an entrepreneurial spirit and broad understanding of the transportation industry, Louise was well-positioned to lead Share Haulage to greatness. Leveraging her commitment to her clientele, in addition to her industry knowledge and hunger for excellence, Louise has successfully positioned Share Haulage on the map, earning her the well deserved title of Road Haulage Business Leader of the Year 2024. A company is only as successful as its workforce, however, which is a phrase that Louise understands well. Share Haulage advocates its core values of service and safety, encouraging a regimented health and safety culture that all employees are expected to uphold and are regularly tested on. The entire team are expected to provide clients with a friendly but professional service, with ongoing monitoring conducted to ensure complete compliance and continuous improvement. What’s more, Share Haulage seeks to fulfil its socioeconomic responsibilities through its tactical employment structure. One of Louise’s many strategic changes to Share Haulage’s operations was to employ locally, which enables the company to provide employment opportunities to countless families within its local community whilst sustaining the area’s economy and allowing it to thrive. “We almost always employ through word of mouth,” Louise explains. “Interviewees usually come recommended to us by a client or a current member of staff. This helps us to integrate new team members seamlessly into our operation and gives them a support framework for the training provided and the performance required from them. We have a very high staff retention rate; we believe a happy team performs well so we foster a positive can-do attitude and create an environment that everybody is happy to work with.” Such an environment is imperative for ensuring a positive and motivated team, especially in today’s climate; hauliers throughout the UK are currently undergoing what some consider to be one of the hardest times that the sector has ever experienced. As rising costs and delayed payment terms become standard practice for businesses across the country, increasing pressure is being placed on the industry as a whole. To combat this, Share Haulage strives to minimise any cost implication upon its customers and remain upfront regarding costs with no hidden fees, in efforts to prioritise transparency and ethical practices throughout its operations. We ask Louise what is next for Share Haulage, following its recent recognition in the British Made Awards 2024, as the Most Trusted Heavy Haulage Company 2024 in England. Louise tells us, “We will be expanding our operations further in 2025 to accommodate even more wonderful clients.” The future is prosperous for the company, with sights set solidly on expansion, enhancement, and excellence. We at SME News eagerly anticipate what is next for Share Haulage and recommend keeping a close eye on this innovative company as it continues to deliver first-class solutions and set new standards of service across the haulage industry.
