We’re a family-run business 
When you choose RBT, you’re investing in a family-run business that has been in the caravan and haulage industry for over forty years. Over the decades, we’ve achieved the perfect balance of being big enough to cope with any requirements whilst remaining small enough to care and deliver unparalleled customer service. 
The early years 
The business was originally operated by Ron and Carol Barr and traded under the name Ron Barr Transport Limited. In 2014, health problems resulted in Ron stepping back and the business being bought by his daughter, Kirstie Braithwaite and her husband Gareth. 
 
The following year, Kirstie and her husband Gareth took the reins. Gareth had been employed by the business since 1989, completing apprenticeships and obtaining all of the experience, tools and knowledge required to take the business forward. 

RBT was born 

We then purchased two HGVs and Gareth was our only driver in those first few months. We soon required assistance to cover the growing workload and decided to have a refresh of the branding to make our mark. The business became RBT Ltd, with a bright yellow logo for our previously black HGV fleet. 
 
The business gradually began to grow from strength to strength and to date we are operating up to eight HGVs with the capacity to operate ten in total. Gareth has always been a Star Wars fan, so you may recognise that our logo uses a familiar font. We also have a Star Wars themed wrap on the back of most of the cabs, which is a bit of fun and also looks fantastic. 

A growing business 

Ongoing growth has enabled us not only to expand the fleet but also update it in the process, allowing us to provide our employees with the best facilities whilst driving and sleeping in their vehicles. We pride ourselves on running a close and approachable team of friendly employees and we do everything possible to ensure they are valued and respected. 
 
We operate from our own site in South Cave, which is also where we live on site and own a storage yard that’s leased out. RBT Ltd has not only retained loyal customers for forty years but also grown our client base to 60+ customers. We deliver exclusively for Coachman Caravans Ltd as well as major manufacturers, including Baileys, Elddis and the Swift Group. We deliver nationwide and also have an international O-Licence that enables us to operate beyond the UK if required. 

A strong support network 

Over the past seven years we have developed fantastic working relationships with businesses that have supported and enhanced our requirements, such as Northside Truck and Van, and our local Mercedes dealer has helped us to expand our fleet of reliable HGVs. Meanwhile, Britcom and Martin Williams have provided us with bespoke bodies for our HGVs that are built to last. 
 
We use MW Graphic for all of our decal and wrapping requirements, and last but certainly not least, Danby’s is our trusted maintenance provider that goes above and beyond in supporting our business and maintaining the fleet, including our pool cars. 

A reliable team 

RBT Ltd transports mainly caravans, motorhomes, commercial vehicles and cars. We have been asked to transport various other things in the past too, such as boats, welfare units and shepherd huts. We proudly provide a first-class service to all and have a fantastic team of employees carrying to ensure customer satisfaction every time. 
 
Gareth is at the forefront of the business and Kirstie supports him as RBT’s Transport Manager and accounts and administration specialist. Chelsea, their daughter, plays a key role in administration support and takes over the reins when a break is required.
