Our history

Posted & filed under Feature Post.

As a family firm we are proud of our history. We were established in Clevedon, North Somerset at the beginning of the twentieth century and can boast that we are the oldest family run removal business in the Bristol area. We are dedicated to maintaining and developing the high level of service and standards that have been the basis of our business and reputation for the last four generations.

Yeates was established in 1910 using horses and carts for general haulage in Clevedon and the surrounding areas. The company has always been run by family members and is currently headed up by James Griffin who took over from his father John in 2001.

In 2010 we celebrated our 100th year in business by raising funds for our chosen charity and competing in the Children’s Hospice South West Corporate Challenge.
