about us

Our heritage over 150 years

A.H. Tripp & Son Ltd has been carrying out professional removals since 1867, through five generations and a sixth in the wings. It all started with Arthur Hubert Tripp, who was by trade a blacksmith, then a Drayer and horse dealer. His son Hubert Tripp continued in his footsteps and began developing the business into haulage using a horse-drawn wagon as their first mode of transport.

By the end of World War I, Hubert’s son, Arthur Tripp, (shown leaning on the vehicle in the photograph above) had taken over the reins and the company was beginning to replace the horses with another type of horsepower, first using Model T Fords and then new Chevrolets. Mostyn Tripp worked with his father Arthur and took over the company after World War II.

In 1984, Mostyn’s son Kevin Mostyn Tripp became Managing Director, with Kevin’s son Benjamin Kevin Mostyn Tripp joining in 2007. Benjamin is now a Director and the Transport Manager. Samantha Marie Tripp joined in 2012 as Office/Accounts Manager and Company Secretary. Over the last 150 years, A.H. Tripp & Son Ltd has grown to become the area’s premier removal company, offering a friendly, professional and high-quality service.

Our fleet currently consists of 14 vehicles, and we are still growing!

With each member of our uniformed team having an average of 11 years’ experience working in the removal industry, they are long serving, full time and trained to the highest levels to provide a professional service from start to finish.

Our History

1867-1900

A.H.Tripp & Son is founded as a stagecoach inn and blacksmith. We continually evolved our business as the needs of those in the area change.

1867-1900

1900-1950

We began to develop our haulage services by using horse drawn wagons to collect chairs from High Wycombe and deliver them to auctions in London’s Hyde Park.

1900-1950

1950-2000

Having moved into haulage at the start of the century, the end of the Second World War brought new technology and we invested in our first motor vehicles.

1950-2000

2000-2021

We continue to be a family run business with the fifth generation of Tripps now at the helm, and have carefully and expertly handled the possessions of over 100,000 people.
