So where have they been from 2009-2013 as its only the last few weeks they seem to have been about,I thought it might have been that outfit that set up as truck hire ltd that had a load of carters and deebens old dafs that might of started again under a new name…as they all seem to do!!

Marmex Ltd was originally set up by two directors of the late Leggetts of Woolpit, to take over that company when it went into administration. They kept the trading name of Leggetts Transport going. When Leggetts finally ceased trading, Goldstar made a point of stating that they had bought ‘only the assets’ of Leggetts, as opposed to acquiring the company. It seems that the original directors from the Leggetts days are no longer involved with the new company, so my guess is that it’s a brand new start up in effect.
When I worked for ‘leggetts’ in 2009/10 …although we traded under the leggetts of woolpit name I was paid by marmex…which is owned by the brother in law of the leggett family…he was only ever interested in the yard at woolpit and always had a buyer for it from day one …so they have been trading since demise of leggetts but with plain red and white ex irlam dafs …just only recently seemed to have had trucks liveried up
