About VTP Ltd
The late Henry Mattison Richardson was the youngest son of a small family that ran a mixed produce farm in West Ness, which is on the southern edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. VTP Ltd was too small to support Henry and his older brother, so Henry looked into other agricultural-related fields. One of his first ventures involved dealing in livestock, which necessitated the purchase of his first truck, a Second Hand O Series Bedford. Perhaps not realizing that this would serve as the catalyst In those early years Henry purchased vehicles from many English fabricates in those days there was parcels to pick from. VTP Ltd bought Ford wagons, a few Commer 4x4 lorries, a Foden 8x4, a Guy Warrior, a Leyland Comet, and a few Thames Traders. However, Bedford wagons with a 16-ton capacity, ERF 6 and 8-wheelers, and tractor units made up the bulk of his fleet.
