High Value for businesses around the Bournville Lane factory site in Bournville
Operators around the Bournville Lane factory site tend to need the same three things: someone who answers, a truck that fits the yard, and paperwork that matches the job. Owners and collectors of classic, modified or prestige cars needing careful, low-risk transport. That is the arrangement this page describes for Bournville. Ask three people in Bournville where Cadbury World is and you get three routes; the driver only needs one that fits a truck. Nothing gets sub-contracted out of the Birmingham City Council area. Common collection points: the Bournville Lane factory site, the parking by Cadbury World, and Arts and Crafts cottages. On tight model-village housing we bring skates rather than argue with a turning circle.

A classic or prestige car isn't something you want dragged around on a standard tow rope, and it isn't something you'd trust to just anyone. Whether it's a low-slung sports car, a modified vehicle with reduced ground clearance, or a genuine classic that's spent years being cared for, we take the extra time these vehicles deserve.
Why a Bournville account differs from a citywide one
A generic Birmingham arrangement treats every postcode the same. Yours does not work that way: your drivers use the same few roads out of Bournville every day, so the routing, the storage point and the authorised-caller list can all be set up once and reused. Because Birmingham is next door, a job in Bournville often pairs with one there on the same shift. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up. If you are unsure of the postcode, B30 plus a landmark such as Cadbury World is enough. If M5 J4 is queueing, the driver reroutes rather than sitting in it.
- Standing route plan in via M5 J4 then A38 Bristol Road
- Named default garage or depot in the B30 area
- Agreed authorisation rules so drivers are not left waiting
- Consolidated monthly invoicing across West Midlands jobs

We quote a flat figure on the phone based on the actual distance, the vehicle and the access. At roughly 8 miles from base, Bournville is a local job — no per-mile meter, no call-out fee bolted on afterwards.

Yes, we can arrange transport to shows, sales or specialist events, locally or further afield.
Is Bournville closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 8 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 4 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.
