Long-standing Welsh haulage firm CVH Transport Services enters voluntary liquidation

CVH Transport Services, a family-owned haulage business based in Gwent, Wales, has entered Creditors Voluntary Liquidation after nearly five decades of operation. The firm, incorporated in the late 1970s, pioneered overland freight routes to the Middle East and subsequently positioned itself as a major logistics provider in South Wales. While liquidators have been appointed, the announcement does not yet clarify potential job losses or redundancy plans.

This development follows other notable sector distress, such as the administration of JT Leyland Limited and a notice of intention by Helix Construct. The Road Haulage Association has highlighted a broader trend of haulier closures, noting hundreds of firms have ceased trading in recent years. Industry observers attribute the surge to rising operational costs that strain long-standing companies.
