BackgroundSouthland businessman Bill Richardson was interested in transport from a young age. His first business was a transport company called Southern Transport. Under his guidance it grew into the HWR Group. When he bought trucks for the business, he had to concede that sometimes he, in his words, 'bought a truck more with our hearts than with our heads.' Transport World's collection began in 1967 when Bill Richardson began collecting old trucks, which by the time of his death in 2005 had grown to 150 vehicles including trucks, and farm vehicles.[2] He also collected petrol pumps and other transport related memorabilia such as signs and toy models. In 2015 Richardson's daughter Jocelyn and her husband Scott O'Donnell decided to open up their collection to the public. A new extension was built and in November 2015 Bill Richardson Transport World was opened.
