LRBM heritage and vintage trucks

Here at London Reclaimed Brick Merchants, we are proud of our extensive industry experience and long, respectable history as a family run business. Our company is currently run by the third generation of the family and our dedicated team have over 75 years of collective experience. Our roots go back to the 1950s and to celebrate this, we have acquired a classic 1959 Bedford J5 SWB tipper which is the same vehicle as would have been used by the first generation of the family.

As a way to pay tribute to our past and get involved with like-minded enthusiasts, London Reclaimed Brick Merchants are part of the Historic Commercial Vehicle Society (HCVS). The HCVS is a society for those with an interest in vintage commercial vehicles – this includes anything from trucks and buses to fire engines and tractors. For the past four years, we have been involved in the HCVS’ enjoyable London to Brighton run event with our vintage tipper. The event sees hundreds of vehicles from many periods of history get on the road and, once in Brighton, the vehicles are shown off and inspected by judges for awards.

We use our Bedford tipper as a way to get involved in our local community too. Throughout the year we attend and display our truck at various local fairs and shows. A few years ago we were even asked to participate in the Lord Mayor’s show in London with our tipper, which was an excellent occasion.

Our vintage Bedford truck serves as a fun connection to our history, and much has changed – including our fleet – since our roots in the 1950s. However, what has not changed are our company values, great customer service and the excellent quality of bricks we supply.
