Firstly I know it is not an old haulage company, but they did have their own motors.

Can anyone remember the name of the Animal feed mill at Oswestry in the 70’s in Oswestry, I am certain it was on an industrial estate which was a new estate in them days and I seem to remember it was close to Cadwallader’s yard.

They had their own blower trucks for delivering animal feed to farms as well as owner drivers, I seem to remember that they were owned by Cadbury’s chocolate and if I remember right the trucks were painted in a purple and white colour!

Criddles used to be on the industrial estate in Oswerstry with Herdsmans dark blue bulkers doing most of the deliveries .Shut down mid 90’s. Neville Peate (oxo3) would be your man to ask. Can’t remember any purple bulkers!
