Transport and storage company enters administration after 39 years

Trans Haul (Europe) Limited, a UK transport and storage firm founded in 1987, has entered administration after more than 39 years of operation, according to The Gazette. The company specializes in logistics, warehousing and contract packing, with a fleet of more than 45 vehicles and 60 trailers. It also operates around 150,000 square feet of warehousing and operating centres located in Dunstable and Stoke-on-Trent. Joint administrators Neil Charles Money and Steven Glanvill from CBA Business Solutions Limited were appointed on July 3. The report explains administration in the UK under the Insolvency Act 1986, including a statutory moratorium to provide “breathing space” for restructuring, a 12-month automatic end unless extended, and potential outcomes such as rescue, liquidation, or dissolution. It also notes other UK retail failures in 2026, including LK Bennett, Claire’s, Quiz, Leading Labels, and TG Jones’ closure of 150 stores after a High Court-approved restructuring plan on July 1.
