Just thinking about it nearly all the Sussex firms apart from Jempsons seem to have gone what happend to all the guys who hauled out of Newhaven,TOE tilts as I recall? I think French’s are still around in Hastings mostly skips & recycling,any one remember F Avann of Eastbourne? smart Bedford tippers? Bleach of Lavent(Chichester) the list gets longer the more I think about it!(and I’m not a Sussex boy)
Bleach of Lavant are still on the go as far as I know. They did have part of DR Baileys old yard on ford airfield.
You are right about Newhaven though. I believe Pendice still have a couple of trucks but other than that it’s dead.
As for the rest of the Sussex coast its pretty quiet. A few companies on the bulk but other than that it’s all pallet work.
Check out the long gone Sussex hauliers thread. There was plenty of life in bygone days but most of it is now gone.
Cheers
