Paul Schofield, Warehouse & Distribution Manager Stelrad

TP Niven and Stelrad’s partnership began back in 1961, and it has been integral to our growth and development—particularly in recent years. Over six decades, both companies have adapted to many changes, but we’ve always worked together to overcome challenges. The partnership has been key to developing a sector-leading logistics package, which is a top priority for our customers. We are grateful to TP Niven for their contribution over 60 years—an impressive record that speaks for itself.

Richard Clothier, Managing Director Wyke Farms

At Wyke Farms, we value partnerships that reflect our own principles of quality, sustainability, and responsiveness. TP Niven Transport exemplifies these values. They are efficient, quick to respond, and consistently attentive to both our operational needs and those of our milk suppliers.

Their forward-thinking approach to sustainability—particularly around decarbonisation and zero emissions—aligns closely with our environmental goals. It’s refreshing to work with a private, family-run business that brings heritage, expertise, and shared values to the table. TP Niven are not only reliable partners but genuinely great people to work with.

Jamie Cullerton, Transport General Manager Pets at Home

TP Nivens have been a trusted partner for over 10 years, supporting and evolving with us to continue to deliver an excellent service to our stores. Our Store Delivery service is vital to PAH continued success and we look forward to another 10 years of entrusting them to uphold the very best in customer service to our stores.

James Baird, Head of Supply Chain First Milk

First Milk has enjoyed a productive and long standing relationship with TP Niven over several decades and this grew in 2019 when TP Niven successfully secured a contract for all First Milk collections and deliveries within Scotland.

We find T P Niven well placed to respond to the ever changing requirements of the dairy industry through their flexible approach, and they continue to deliver solutions that service customer requirements whilst minimising overall supply chain cost.
