Family run since 2008 · Winsford born

The extra mile is a family habit

ERL has been a family business since 2008, in an industry that rarely looks like one — led by Joanne, our Managing Director, a woman at the top of a sector that's still mostly men, and run by a team that goes the extra mile. Literally. For our customers, and for our community.

We wash the trucks like they're ours, because they are. We answer the phone at 3am, because someone needs us to. That's all the extra mile is — caring on purpose.
— Joanne, Managing Director

The worker bee on every cab is Manchester's — the symbol a whole city rallied around after the Arena attack, a mark of people holding together. We carry it as a promise: that's the kind of community we drive for.

Every ribbon on our cabs has a story. Each one is for a loved one — family, friends, neighbours — who faced an illness and fought it. Some are here to tell the tale; some we carry in their memory, mile after mile.
