The rise of EFM Plant is a story of strategic growth and specialised services in the transport industry. Established in 2021, EFM Plant is a division of EFM Distribution, expanding the company’s portfolio to meet the increasing demands for specialist transportation. With EFM already being a familiar name in the county, with 19 years of experience in the transport sector, the decision was made to harness this reputation with the inception of EFM Plant.
Founded by Managing Director Phil Minney, EFM is still family owned with family values at its core.
At the helm of EFM Plant is General Manager, Gavin Nix, a veteran in the transport industry with decades of experience both behind the wheel and the desk. Gavin’s understanding of customer needs and his dedication to professionalism and customer service have been instrumental in the division’s success. The journey began with two tractor units, but thanks to his extensive network and strong customer relationships, EFM Plant has swiftly grown into a diverse fleet of 15 vehicles ranging from articulated lorries to 4x4s, equipped to handle a variety of specialist transport needs.

Whether it’s moving heavy plant machinery on low loaders for renowned manufacturers or towing high-end trailers across the country, EFM Plant has the equipment and know-how to provide tailored solutions for every requirement.
EFM’s relocation to a new facility in Daventry has been a pivotal move for EFM Plant. Th is new location offers ample space for outdoor storage and vehicle parking, supporting the division’s growth trajectory. The increased capacity has allowed the company to enhance its service offerings and continue its fleet expansion. The central UK location, with convenient access to the country’s arterial road network, allows EFM Plant to react to incoming enquiries and meet customer needs effectively and efficiently. Phil said:
“The move marks an exciting new chapter for EFM Plant,”
“Not only does the investment in the new facility allow us to continue to support our existing customer base from a convenient location, but it has also given us room to expand our reach further, adding new and exciting value added services and allowing us to continue to grow.
“Its good to be in Daventry and we are keen to get our name known around the local area. Th is county is known as a centre for logistics and this strategic positioning will allow us to better serve our existing customers whilst also bringing on new ones”
The new facility has enabled plant and machinery customers the opportunity to safely store their inventory. The yard has been made fully fit-for-purpose, with new security fencing, secure automated access barriers, CCTV and 24/7 on-site security. This added value service enhances the EFM Plant offering by giving customers the opportunity to load and send orders directly from EFM Distribution.
