Heritage
The tree remembers.
Robert Transport was founded in Swindon in 2021 by Robert Filip — a family business with Romanian roots, British roads and an old proverb as its operating principle.
The tree of life · carved on the cheek
Our story
Roots before roads.
Robert Transport Limited was incorporated on 27 July 2021 at 12 Cannon Street, Swindon. It began the way most honest hauliers do: one owner, one vehicle, and customers who came back because the job was done properly.
The medallion on our vehicles carries a Romanian proverb the family grew up with. It became the standard for how we treat every load — nothing forgotten, nothing careless.
Toporul uită, dar copacul ține minte.
The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.
What we stand for
Four words on the yard wall.
Respect
For the client, the cargo and the people at both ends of the road.
Memory
Every site quirk, booking window and promise is written down and kept.
Reliability
We say a time and we mean it. Straps checked, paperwork done.
Family
Owner-driven. The name on the door answers the phone.
The proverb, applied
The axe forgets. We don't.
Careless transport strikes and moves on. We keep the mark — and the client.
The axe
- Call centre, ticket number, new voice every time
- Sub-contracted with no idea who is driving
- Surcharges appear after the job
- Your site notes lost between bookings
The tree
- One dispatch line, answered by a planner who knows you
- Our family team and drivers we trust by name
- One fixed price, in writing, before we move
- Access, slots and preferences remembered for good
The family
Who answers the phone.
No account managers. The number on this page is answered by the family who run the business.
