Ian Robinson Transport – Haulage Pride, Community Heart, Supporting Leyland Festival

For over a decade, Ian Robinson Transport has been both a proud sponsor and an integral part of the Leyland Festival, bringing horsepower, heart and invaluable support to our beloved parade. What began as one local man’s haulage dream in 2010 has grown into a thriving Lancashire business – yet despite their expansion across the UK and Europe, their commitment to Leyland has never wavered.

As one of our longest-standing sponsors, Ian and his team go above and beyond each year. Their gleaming fleet of trucks and trailers doesn’t just feature in our procession – it forms the backbone of the parade, meticulously prepared by dedicated staff and driven by volunteers who generously give their time. This incredible support, mirroring the same community spirit that saw Ian start with just one truck in Leyland, is what makes their sponsorship so special.

The Leyland Festival celebrates our town’s heritage and togetherness, and having a homegrown success story like Ian Robinson Transport as both sponsor and participant means everything. Their contribution extends far beyond financial support – it’s about keeping traditions alive, investing in our community, and helping create those magical moments that families cherish for years to come.

We’re incredibly proud to have them as part of our festival story, not just as suppliers of vehicles, but as true partners in preserving Leyland’s spirit. Their ongoing sponsorship and hands-on involvement exemplify what it means to give back to the community that helped build their success.
