The name of Pickfords has been synonymous with transport for a very long time.Some think that James Pickford was the founder in the early part of the 18th century, while others beleive that a certain Will Pickford was the original carrier, and he was in business a century earlier.During the 70s the Bedford TK was widely used and a new livery was adopted for the fleet.The old dark blue body was retained but a script style of lettering was used along with a waistband of varying colour to designate the particular service.
