Haverhill sits in west Suffolk right where Cambridgeshire and Essex meet, with the A1017 through the middle and no railway of its own. Booking a move here works exactly as it does anywhere else: one driven movement, quoted from our Glasgow office.

Border roads: the A1017, the A1307 and the A143

The A1017 runs south towards Braintree and the A120, the A1307 is the road to Cambridge and the A143 heads for Bury St Edmunds. None of them is a motorway, so the final stretch of a long run into Haverhill is on country A roads, and we plan the date with that in mind.

The town has grown a long way beyond its market centre. The estates towards Sturmer and Ehringshausen Way are a world away from the High Street, and Kedington, Withersfield and Clare are separate villages even with a CB9 postcode. Give us the village name and the driver arrives at the right door.

Collecting in Kedington and delivering in Haverhill is one job, and so is a run from Haverhill to Glasgow. Saffron Walden, Braintree, Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds are all neighbours.

Auction collections from BCA Chelmsford

Haverhill has no auction site, so most local buyers collect from BCA Chelmsford in Essex. BCA Bedford lies to the west, BCA Enfield sits on the edge of London and Manheim Frating covers lots bought further east.

We check the lot has been released at Chelmsford, or whichever site you used, before our driver sets off. Our guide to auction collection after release covers the Chelmsford process in more detail. Salvage vehicles are not suitable for trade plates.

Stock moves and handovers across west Suffolk

Local dealers mostly send cars to group sites in Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds or Chelmsford, or take part exchanges to Chelmsford once they are legal. Fleet vans leave Haverhill Industrial Estate with a valid MOT, and each one travels on its own, so there is no wait for a transporter.

For a delivery to a customer near Chalkstone, our driver arrives in the car and only needs someone at home and a legal place to stop. Our site transfers and retail handovers page explains the process for west Suffolk dealers. For a lock up towards Ehringshausen Way, include a named contact and any gate code.

Getting our driver home from a town with no station

Haverhill has no passenger station, so after a one way delivery our driver makes a short road hop to Dullingham, Newmarket or Audley End. We plan that as part of the job, which is one more reason to choose a date you can keep.

Closures on the A1307 towards Cambridge and queues on the A1017 are the usual hold ups. Wherever the car is going, you get condition notes and photos at collection, a signature on delivery and one report by email.

Booking a CB9 movement with OVM

Any car or van leaving Haverhill needs a valid MOT where one is required and must be legal to drive. Cars and light vans are welcome, but HGVs are not. Our motor trade road risk insurance stays in place until someone signs for it. Our guides to driven trade plate vehicle movements and how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow explain the service in full.
