Celebrating 50 Years of Heneways!
On 01 October 1975, Heneways Freight Services began its journey in a small, converted butcher shop. Guided by faith, hard work, and determination, those early steps grew into something greater than ever imagined.
Today, we proudly mark five decades of service, partnerships, and progress. From our humble beginnings to becoming a trusted name in logistics, every milestone has been built on the unwavering spirit that defines Heneways.
To our staff, clients, partners, and friends—thank you for walking this road with us. Your support has shaped our past and inspires our future.
Here’s to the next chapter, as we continue to grow, innovate, and carry our enduring motto forward:
Deus, major columna – “God, the greatest pillar.”
Happy 50th Anniversary, Heneways

Remembering John Buchel
As we celebrate 50 years of Heneways, we pause to honour the memory of a man who helped shape our journey — John Buchel. A visionary leader, a steadfast mentor, and a guiding light, JBB’s legacy continues to live on in the heartbeat of our company.
His passion, dedication, and unwavering belief in people built more than a business — he built a family.
Today, and always, we remember him with love and pride.
Forever remembered. Always respected. Deeply missed.
