Trade Partners · Digbeth B5
Trade Partners for businesses around Digbeth trading estate in Digbeth
Under Birmingham City Council, commercial vehicles in Digbeth run between Digbeth trading estate, customer sites and the A45 corridor. Trade Partners here is planned around those routes rather than a generic city-wide promise. Kerb heights on A45 decide whether we winch or drive on. If the vehicle is in a multi-storey, tell us the level: deck height rules out some trucks entirely. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up. Typical drop points from here: garages in B5, storage in West Midlands, or Sparkbrook.

Garages and bodyshops often need a vehicle moved that isn't going anywhere under its own power – whether that's a customer's car that's failed on the road, a non-runner waiting for parts, or a vehicle heading between your workshop and a paint specialist. We work alongside trade customers across Birmingham and the Black Country as a reliable extra pair of hands for these jobs.
Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Digbeth trading estate, the parking around the Custard Factory, and the residential grid of railway arches where drivers leave vehicles overnight. Every Digbeth job starts with two questions: where exactly, and can the vehicle roll? Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves. Postcode-level cover: B5/B9, plus the ring of areas within a few miles. Insurance work from Digbeth gets a written condition record before the straps go on.

How the service works for you
Customer breakdown collections
If a customer's vehicle breaks down and needs bringing to your workshop, we can collect it and deliver it straight to you, saving your own team a wasted trip.
Working with bodyshops
Accident-damaged vehicles sometimes need to move between an initial inspection point, a bodyshop, and back to the customer. We can handle any or all of these legs so vehicles reach the right place without unnecessary delay.
- Non-runner and accident-damaged vehicle transport
- Customer collections on your behalf
- Movement between workshop, bodyshop and storage
- Flexible scheduling around your workload
A trade rate you can rely on
For garages who need us regularly, we're happy to discuss a working arrangement that reflects the volume and type of work involved, rather than pricing every job from scratch.
Neighbouring areas on the same account
Vehicles rarely stay in one postcode. These areas run off the same Birmingham City Council-area rota, with distances from Digbeth.
Access and routing around Digbeth
Half the vehicles we lift in Digbeth are within sight of A45. We confirm the drop address before leaving Digbeth so nothing is decided kerbside. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike. Overnight, most work here is on railway arches rather than main roads.

Questions from operators in Digbeth
Is there a trade arrangement for regular work in Digbeth?
Yes, we're happy to discuss terms suited to garages who need recovery support on an ongoing basis.
Are you insured to move my vehicle across West Midlands?
Yes. Goods-in-transit and recovery operator liability are in force for every movement, whether it is two streets in B5 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
Can you collect a customer's car that's broken down elsewhere in Digbeth?
Yes, we can attend and bring it straight to your garage on your behalf.
What if the vehicle is blocking A41 High Street Deritend?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near the Custard Factory is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Digbeth?
Not always. For collections from railway arches or a unit near Digbeth trading estate we can work with a key safe or a nominated contact, provided we have written authority and someone to receive the vehicle at the other end.
Can you handle out-of-hours collections in Digbeth?
Yes, we operate 24/7, so a car that breaks down in the evening doesn't have to wait until morning.
