Hayton Coulthard One Hundred Years of Haulage

HB BKS

Road haulage contractor, Hayton
Coulthard Transport Ltd of Twynholm,
Dumfries and Galloway marks its 100th
anniversary in business during 2016.
To commemorate this important event,
managing director Duncan Coulthard Jnr
has commissioned a book that charts the
history of the firm through 100 years
and five generations of the same
family. Well-known Scottish road
transport journalist, John W Henderson
has written the volume, which contains
277 pages and is printed on high
quality paper (page size 210mm x 271mm
portrait style.) Profusely illustrated
with over 550 colour / black & white
images, the hardback work also records
the motorsport involvement of four
separate Coulthard generations,
including former Formula One driver,
David Coulthard.
The book is also record of people who
thrive on challenges, whilst still
retaining a genuine interest and
involvement with their employees,
clients and suppliers. Certain threads
run strongly through this transport
tale, which stretches over two separate
centuries. Magnificent examples of
innovation, commitment and enthusiasm
appear at regular intervals, alongside
a constant entrepreneurial spirit that
refreshes and redirects a business as
times change. The local community has
always been a high priority throughout
the company’s ten decades in existence
and the village of Twynholm has always
been the location of headquarters and
home.
Hayton Coulthard’s business strapline
of Delivering Winners does not just
apply to its transport aspirations, as
talented individuals from four
generations of the Coulthard family
have also made their mark in separate
motor sport disciplines. Few Scottish
road haulage companies have to date,
celebrated one hundred years in
business. Hayton Coulthard Transport
has done so in style, through war and
peace, good times and bad.
