Established in 2004, The Hazchem Network was originally based in Rugby, but due to continued growth, moved to Hinckley at the start of 2019 and now operates out of a 10 acre site. The Hazchem Network is a specialist hub-and-spoke pallet network devoted to ADR and the carriage of dangerous goods. The haulage companies that belong to the Hazchem Network are all audited to maintain the highest standards of safety. If your haulier is a member of the Hazchem Network they will already belong to HERS. Each of their trailers that carry Dangerous Goods will display an identification decal along with the HERS emergency telephone number.
