The company fleet includes three livestock units. Karen Phelps Family-owned company HW Cavanagh Transport has built its reputation on understanding farmers’ needs from the ground up. Established in 2008, it brings together two generations of the family. At the helm is founder Hamish Cavanagh, who was born and bred in Hunterville and established the company after years as an owner-driver. He now has around 25 years industry experience. Working alongside him is his partner Bex and their daughter Brooke, who started her career as a loader operator, and has since risen to manage the aggregates division, demonstrating the next generation’s commitment to the family business. The family’s agricultural roots run deep and they also operate a finishing and trading operation at Vinegar Hill, where a quarry that forms part of the business mix is also based, alongside managing the transport company. This farming connection provides HW Cavanagh Transport with unique insights into its customers’ requirements. “It means our clients know they will talk to one of the family and they love it,” says Hamish, emphasising the personal touch that sets the business apart. “It also means we really understand what our farming clients want as we are farmers ourselves.” Operating nationwide, the company’s services include livestock, aggregate, wool and fertiliser transportation. The company fleet includes three livestock units including a new Kenworth unit running on a 56-tonne permit. Alongside these are three Freightliner bathtub truck and trailer units and also a Freightliner bottom dumper for aggregate RURAL SERVICES » HW Cavanagh Transport Ltd Challenge Fuel Station, 24/7 Diesel Truck Stop with easy off road and drive through access, Cafe, Ice Cream Parlour, Spirit, Wine and Beer Outlet & Supermarket!
