A haulage firm has collapsed into liquidation after 35 years with £1.1m of debts.

Mor Cross Transport Services, a long‑established company in the UK, entered creditors’ voluntary liquidation in December.

The company’s nature of business is given as freight transport by road, and the notice is categorised as a corporate insolvency appointment of liquidators.

Statement of affairs published onto Companies House has revealed Mor Cross Transport Services has £1,126,411 of debts to settle with creditors.

Among those are the lorry giant Scania, which is owed £143k by the company for its finance services.

What's more, the Redundancy Payments Service is owed just over £19k, HMRC is owed just over £67k and NatWest has a claim of over £49k.

A Shipston‑on‑Stour address is given as the registered office, while the principal trading address is shown as being a unit at Enstone Airfield.

Documents say the haulage firm has a deficiency for its debts of £859,343, meaning not everybody owed money is likely to get it back unless the liquidators find the money.

Joint liquidators Mustafa Abdulali and Neil James Dingley, of Moore Recovery Limited, were appointed on in December 2025.

According to the company’s website and commercial profiles, the firm was originally established in 1991 and provided UK and European road‑haulage services, including bulk, traction and general haulage using flatbed and curtain‑sided vehicles.

The firm’s online information highlights 24‑hour in‑cab communication and satellite tracking.
