Problem-free transportation of motorhomes and caravans throughout the UK is at the root of our business, as well as making sure our customers are 100% happy with the service we provide.

Every operation requires a specific approach to ensure safe and secure pick-up, transportation, and delivery. Our excellent reputation is due to our commitment to delivering vehicles on time and in the same condition as we collected them. If you’re not happy with the entire process – we haven’t done our job properly.

The reason we do our job so well is down to our team members. Their wealth of experience and in-depth knowledge means that they can take on many of the challenges associated with this kind of transportation with ease. In fact, they enjoy finding solutions to even the more unusual problems and requirements!

Lets introduce the team

Darrin Pickering – Managing Director

Darrin has been in road haulage for most of his working life, from being a driver to running his own business. He is now in overall charge of both the transport and vehicle repairs arms of the business. Darrin often works in the transport office alongside Scott, where they both manage traffic flows and talk to customers about their transport needs. Together, they also arrange vehicle loads for collection and delivery, monitor the progress of the transporters in reaching their collection and delivery points and generally make sure everything is operating smoothly and within agreed timescales.

Scott McDonald – Transport Manager

Scott manages the transport side of the business and looks after much of the regulatory admin that goes with running a transport operation. As he’s in the transport office most often, you’ll probably speak to him when you ring up to arrange vehicle movements. It’s a demanding role and not without challenges – but Scott keeps a cool head whatever is thrown at him.

Adam Pickering – Workshop Manager

On the vehicle repairs side of the business, Adam Pickering is our workshop manager. Adam heads up a team of six fitters. The team of six ranges from professionals with many years of experience in working on trucks and transporters to a time-served apprentice who has developed his knowledge through working for the company. Our trusted workshop team services our own transporters, keeping them roadworthy and in tip-top condition. They also undertake repairs and maintenance for several customers, particularly those with car transporter fleets.

Natasha Pickering – Office Manager

Natasha is the office manager and company secretary, so she is responsible for the running of the office and maintaining the company’s statutory obligations.

Kate Marshall – Assistant Accountant
Kate’s role sees her looking after much of the day-to-day financial side of the business, issuing invoices for work done and making sure they all get paid! She also deals with paying suppliers, monitoring fuel usage, monitoring cash flow and many of the other tasks that crop up daily. She also deals with telephone and email inquiries from our customers. It’s a busy role but she’s known for being an expert plate-spinner when the office gets hectic.

Richard Foster – Director
Richard comes from a strong financial background and has worked closely with Darrin for nearly 20 years. Richard oversees much of the financial side of the business but as is often the case with smaller, family-run companies, he also works alongside Darrin in other areas of the business.

Our Drivers
Our drivers have accumulated a staggering amount of knowledge and experience in the specialist field of moving caravans and motorhomes over many years. They perform a terrific job getting customers’ vehicles from A to B and are always willing to go that extra mile to keep our customers happy.

Our commitment to providing customers with excellent customer service forms a cornerstone for D Pickering Ltd as we strive to always operate safely, efficiently and to the very best of our abilities.

If you’d like to talk to us about your transport needs, please give us a call. We’re always happy to advise on the best way to transport your motorhome, caravan or vans.

Hello from all the team at D Pickering and welcome to our new website. As we’ve now been in business for nearly three years, we thought it was high time we were online too – so this is our brand new website. Here, you’ll find information about our services, such as motorhome transport, caravan and van transport and our workshop repairs. You can also learn more about who we are, what our combined experience brings to the table and how D Pickering works with customers to provide an unrivalled service across the UK.

It’s not been an easy few years, that’s for sure. Like thousands of other businesses, we’ve had to deal with the unprecedented events that Covid brought to 2020 and since then, the challenges facing the haulage industry like the national driver shortage and rising fuel prices. Luckily, our experience has enabled us to maintain a steady forward momentum on the road back to normality – whatever normal is!

The beginning of post-pandemic Britain is a very exciting place to be for a company like ours, providing the best motorhome transport, caravan transport and van transport services for our customers around the country.

Our Motorhome, Caravan and Van Transport Services

The safe transportation of motorhomes, caravans and large vans takes a driver with experience and proven skills. We make sure that every vehicle we transport arrives in the same condition as we collected it. Our bespoke transporters are specially designed to carry just about any size of motorhome or caravan.

We take care of the whole transportation process, from start to finish, and we’ll keep you informed about your vehicle’s progress every step of the way. That’s why we have an unbeatable reputation when it comes to motorhome, caravan and van transport and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Our Workshop Repairs

As well as our transport services, we offer HGV and car transporter repairs, servicing and maintenance. Our workshop team has a massive amount of combined experience with these types of specialist vehicles and they keep fully up-to-date on the latest regulations and legal requirements.
