Transport & Motoring | Neville Bros
Keeping Auckland’s cargo on the go Neville Bros’ Silverdalebased cartage contracting firm has been serving the greater Auckland area and surrounding regions for 91 years. Starting as a family firm in 1926, it is still owned and operated by managing director Kelvin Neville. Kelvin says the company’s success is the same today as it was when it started in the 1920s - providing excellent service, and round the clock support, seven days a week.
Neville Bros excel in the ability to provide the right truck for the needs of the customer, and over the years the customers’ needs seem to have increased, so the company is always faced with providing a satisfactory transport solution.
From small beginnings, Neville Bros is now a recognised major player in the haulage of stock, and bulk carrying. Kelvin’s father, the late Frank Neville and his uncle Bert Neville, started Neville Bros with two trucks, bought for 250 and 350 pounds; one Ford and one Chevrolet. Unlike modern trucks, the original Ford and Chevy were not equipped with hydraulics, so lifting was done via a hand crank. The company now operates 22 metal haulage trucks, 10 livestock haulage trucks, and three Hiab trucks.
