H.E. Payne

Company History: The company trace their roots back to 1938 when Harry Edward Payne began in transport as a coal merchant working a Morris Commercial 30cwt out of Tempsford railway station. During the war time years, the local farmers couldn't get their produce to market as their usual haulier - A Cooper & Son of Sandy - was working exclusively for the Ministry of War Transport. This opened the produce door to Harry.
