Andy, they may well have done. A C Farmer rings a bell.Ementons ran a motley bunch of vehicles, but here’s more to the list of defunct operators!
Amos Horsburgh, Removals
A B CarriersCedar Coaches
Horseshoe Coaches, Tottenham and Kemptson
Ouse Valley Coaches
Stan Gammons, Thurleigh
Barfordian
Amos Horsburgh also had estate agents and indeed we purchased our first house through them, A B Carriers were based in kempston and did all of Peter Guild furniture deliveries down to Harrods etc until Peter Guilds moved up to Nottinghamshire I think. Barfordians used to supply a double decker coach for Man Utd’s supporters club from Bedford bus station which they also shared with Walsall supporters branch picking up at Hilton park services, went on it a few times, jeeze I’ve never seen so much alcohol consumed! 
some of them were so drunk by the time they arrived they didn’t even get into the football! It used to stop off at the railway club in Manchester iirc.
This is the Some Mothers do ave em sketch with Farmers removal lorry, its not brilliant quality but looks to me like it goes over Oakley bridges.

They had a mix of vehicles coomsey, yes they did bricks as did pretty much every haulier around the Bedford area and yes they had a couple of tippers, they also had a couple of skip lorries, quite a bit of their work was with W.H.Allen, when their work died off then so did Hulls, Jim Hull used to go into the dispatch department every Friday and sort out what work he wanted, they also used to do all the skip work out of the factory.

A few photos of Amorco Transport from Bedford, not always the newest or best lorries on the road.nmp
Couple of photos here, don’t know anything about this company so would be glad of any info if anyone knows anything, I would guess they did bricks at some point.

Ahh, Westoning. I can just remember this as my maternal grandparents lived in Flitwick.
You can make out where the tanker demolished some houses, must’ve been a hell of a fire.
