Welcome to W.J. James Group

Founded in 1932 by William James as W.J. James & Sons Haulage Ltd. The firm began its life providing support to local farmers by transporting hay, straw, animal feeds, and livestock. Located in Cumbria, an area rich with farmland, William recognized the need for reliable agricultural haulage and soon established a strong reputation for dependability within the community.

Over the decades, we have grown significantly, and are now one of the nations leading logistics companies. In 2010, our professionalism and commitment to excellence was recognised by a Royal Warrant, leading us to supply and transport hay and straw to the stables of the royal family, a prestigious acknowledgment of our dedication to quality.

In 2024, W.J. James & Sons Haulage Ltd. expanded with the acquisition of another Cumbrian firm, W.N. Coxswains Ltd. A respected importer, supplier, and haulier of British and Icelandic seafoods. With this purchase, W.J. James Group was born.

Today, W.J. James Group is more than just a haulage company. We own and operate WhiskeyJet, our own airline, and manage a network of warehouses and redistribution centres throughout the UK.
