Company History Welcome to Webbs of Armscote ltd, A 3rd Generation family run independent Haulier and Aggregate supply business founded in 1920 on this site.
Snug Cottages, originally a Farm is where Richard Stephen Webb, known throughout his life as "Steve", formed the business
initially
as a general carrier using a horse and cart, on what we would now term multi-drop, distributing goods that had arrived at Ettington Station, around the local area, to shops, farms and
businesses.

This then developed into the supply and carriage for Warwickshire County Council for road making materials, the original 6"cube pitching stone which was hand laid, and then the broken stone for a topping.
With the increasing popularity of the internal combustion engine, Model A & T Fords and
Chevrolet 30 Cwt single wheeled trucks were put into service, driven by Steve's sons, Ken, Bert, Ronald ( known all his life as "Tip").
