About John Whiting

A family-run business supplying used trucks, trailers and spares from Colchester, Essex.

From Coal & Haulage to HGV Specialists

John Whiting Ltd is a family-run business, originally established by John Whiting dealing in coal and haulage from West Mersea, Essex. Over the decades the business evolved into the used truck, trailer and spare parts operation it is today, now based at Bottles Hall in Elmstead Market, near Colchester.

We hold one of the largest stocks of used HGV parts and vehicles in the region, run our own Authorised Testing Facility, and handle export worldwide — all from the same site the family has worked from for generations.
