Meet the team

Jason and Rebecca — the family behind every JMG job.

JMG Transport is run by Jason and Rebecca, or Bec to everyone who knows her, from their place in Pleystowe. Both of them are out on the road driving the trucks and operating the cranes, and Bec also keeps bookings, paperwork and the business side moving behind the scenes.

Their son Jai is the other driver, behind the wheel and on the cranes alongside them. And their other son Charlie is the best offsider on the team — always keen to lend a hand and learn the ropes. A proper family operation.

Pick up the phone and you're talking straight to one of them. No call centre, no middleman. They answer the calls themselves and they show up when they say they will.
