Collett & Sons (Collett Transport) is a Limited company specialising in heavy transport, heavy lift, marine and transport consulting services. Established in Halifax in 1928 by Richard Collett, the company began as a dairy farming business. When taking his own milk to the dairy by horse and cart, other local farmers asked Richard to take theirs too, which was the beginning of R. Collett Transport. In 1933 the Milk Marketing Board (MMB) was established to market milk. This resulted in the Board paying for the collection of milk from farms, and on the back of this Richard purchased his first commercial vehicle. The end of the Second World War in 1945 released ex-army vehicles, chiefly Bedfords and Thorneycrofts to the commercial market, expanding the Collett fleet and the milk collection business.
