The A. W Jenkinson Group was established in Cumbria in the mid-1960s by Allan Jenkinson, who transported unwanted sawdust and wood shavings from local sawmills to farms to be used for livestock and pet bedding. Eventually, demand outstripped the locally available sawdust needed to supply A.W. Jenkinson Forest Product’s growing customer base, which led to partnerships being formed further afield.
Today the A.W. Jenkinson Group includes a growing number of innovative businesses serving the needs of customers across the UK and northern Europe. They are all very different yet cohesive, and range from A.W. Jenkinson Forest Products to waste wood suppliers A&A Recycling Ltd, bovine genetics and breeding specialists A.W. Jenkinson Farms and even Penrith Truckstop. The haulage and logistics arm, A.W. Jenkinson Transport, is just one of these thriving arms of the group.

The Road haulage Association acts as an advisory group for logistics giving A.W. Jenkinson Transport Limited the opportunity to seek advice on government policy changes and legislation within the logistics sector.
FIAS assures fertiliser security and traceability in the industry supply chain. The UK government encouraged and supported this industry initiative as an alternative to further legislation. AIC (agricultural industries confederation) manages the development and implementation of the scheme under the supervision of the FIAS Steering Group, which has representatives from government and industry stakeholders.
