Harwich, Essex — United Kingdom

Road Transport & Vehicle Recovery You Can Rely On

From same-day couriering to palletised freight and vehicle collection — DS TOWING LTD keeps your cargo and vehicles moving across the UK.

We’re New Here —
and That’s the Point.

DS TOWING LTD did not arrive with a fifty-year legacy and a corporate handbook. We arrived with a clear head, a registered company, and an honest look at what Harwich actually needs from a transport operator — a team that shows up, answers the phone, and knows the difference between a pallet, a trade plate, and an urgent port run.

We work out of CO12, two minutes from one of England’s busiest ro-ro ports. Freight documents that need same-day courier runs. Broken-down vans blocking a warehouse exit. Vehicles off auction that must move by end of day. These are not edge cases for us — they are the job description.

No account managers. No subcontracted drivers we have never met. When DS TOWING LTD sends a vehicle, it is our vehicle. When something changes on the job, we handle it — not a call centre three counties away. Young company, tight team, one rule: do the job properly or don’t take it.
