Paul Schofield, Warehouse & Distribution Manager Stelrad

TP Niven and Stelrad’s partnership began back in 1961, and it has been integral to our growth and development—particularly in recent years. Over six decades, both companies have adapted to many changes, but we’ve always worked together to overcome challenges. The partnership has been key to developing a sector-leading logistics package, which is a top priority for our customers. We are grateful to TP Niven for their contribution over 60 years—an impressive record that speaks for itself.

Richard Clothier, Managing Director Wyke Farms

At Wyke Farms, we value partnerships that reflect our own principles of quality, sustainability, and responsiveness. TP Niven Transport exemplifies these values. They are efficient, quick to respond, and consistently attentive to both our operational needs and those of our milk suppliers.

Their forward-thinking approach to sustainability—particularly around decarbonisation and zero emissions—aligns closely with our environmental goals. It’s refreshing to work with a private, family-run business that brings heritage, expertise, and shared values to the table. TP Niven are not only reliable partners but genuinely great people to work with.
