Higgins has a substantial shareholding in Avalon European Limited, a dedicated trans-continental bulk haulage business.

Transport is a critical part of the supply chain both in terms of cost and service, particularly when this involves thousands of miles of travel per journey.  Return haulage is crucial for cost efficiency.

Operating from offices in Marlborough, Wiltshire and staffed by transport professionals, Avalon runs a fleet of bulk haulage both owned and contracted.

The business moves many bulk commodities and is not dedicated to Higgins, although it handles many of their shipments, particularly trans-continental.
