Don’t know the name Dean, wonder if it’s anything to do with Crawleys waste company? What a plonker I am 
it’s Cawley not Crawley.
That KM is a very early one-not many on an E plate!

Definitely, they also had a sizeable place in kempston, I used to go in there for shanks, was great, I never had to buy anything plastic whilst we were going in there, put your request in for a washing up bowl etc, the colour and size you wanted and the next time you went it was waiting for you. They had a lot of merc wagon and drags based in kempston. A good company to work for I believe but sadly all gone now. The factory at Woburn sands is all housing now, the factory in kempston makes some kind of temporary buildings I believe.
Think they also had a warehouse in Newport Parnell too and a recycling plant in Wolverton run by Shanks, see the following link. They also made milk bottles.

There is a Harvey’s sign board(looks like it might be from the back end of one of their brick trailers to me) in the Sainsbury’s At Biggleswade-as you exit the petrol station there is a small parking area as you drive round the back of the petrol station shop, and the sign is on the left -it’s in good condition, thought some of you might be interested,I’ve never been able to grab a pic
