By the late Alex Bell and originally began as a produce merchant. Based in Toomebridge, Northern Ireland, the first lorry was a Ford purchased from R. Murray, Toomebridge and the next lorry was a Seddon which was purchased at Eakin's of Claudy in the early 1950's. The third lorry was a Commer (pictured right) which was purchased in 1954 from TBF Thompson in Garvagh. In the late 1960's two further lorries were purchased to extend the fleet. A BMC from JJC Walsh in Belfast and a Dodge from William Dennison, Belfast. This was the first of many lorries purchased over the years from the Dennison Company. This family run business has been passed from father to son, and comes with generations of experience and expertise. Today the company specialise in abnormal loads and heavy haulage however, all loads are catered for whether large and small throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe. Bell Transport also continue to trade as a hay and straw merchant with a large client base, supplying 300-400 loads per year.
