Fitzmaurice Carriers are perhaps the longest established and most trusted distribution and logistics company in the East of England.

The business began in Norwich in 1919 and has become one of the most recognisable in the region, with their distinctive black vehicles with gold lettering criss-crossing Norfolk, Suffolk, East Cambridgeshire and North Essex every day.

With a modern depot and fleet of vehicles, Fitzmaurice Carriers distribute consignments of goods - ranging from single cases to full loads - to businesses throughout the region.

They transport goods to organisations including wholesalers, cash & carry outlets, independent retailers, restaurants & hotels, schools, garden centres, garages and supermarket distribution centres.

Having worked with many of their clients for decades, they continually develop their services to embrace the latest practices and technology. They have a modern fleet of over 30 vehicles, including their first all-electric van.

Operations are conducted from their strategically located facilities in Norwich. Fully protected by CCTV and monitored alarms, the purpose-built cross-dock warehouse features a drive-through canopy, secure transport yards, on-site vehicle maintenance and over 8,000 sq ft of additional space to rent or lease.

A family business with extensive local heritage, Fitzmaurice Carriers was established over 100 years ago to provide the reliable transportation of goods.

In the early years, Fitzmaurice specialised in the distribution of agricultural products. However, as the company grew, they began to provide wider services including general haulage, warehousing and storage for all types of products.

Brothers Kevin, Brian and John Fitzmaurice took over the reins and steered the family firm to strong growth during the 1960s, 70s and beyond.

Today, Fitzmaurice Carriers are passionate about service and, with their unrivalled experience, they aim to blend traditional values with innovation and sustainability.

Truly independent, Fitzmaurice Carriers are not a member of any pallet network and personally deliver every consignment for their customers.

The distribution experts are also committed to environmental sustainability, operating a well-maintained, modern fleet and minimising fuel consumption and emissions through careful planning.

Fitzmaurice Carriers have invested in sustainable technology, including energy efficient lighting, the latest charging equipment for mechanical handling equipment and a full recycling programme to eradicate packaging waste.

Founded in 1919, Fitzmaurice Carriers believe no one knows East Anglia better when it comes to distribution and logistics.
