Martello Transport buys more Krone sliding skeletal trailers

Date: October 30, 2025 By admin Categories: Uncategorized No comments

Martello Transport is strengthening its container haulage capability with 18 new Krone Box Liner sliding skeletal trailers, adding capacity and flexibility to meet what the company describes as strong demand across the UK’s export and import markets.

Based in Felixstowe, Martello Transport operates nationwide container haulage services, linking all major UK ports and freight hubs. The new trailers will handle a wide range of standard containers, including import and export cargo, as well as ADR-compliant loads where required.

Explaining the decision to buy Krone, Director Danny Huwen says:

“We’ve bought from Krone before and found their product to be standing the test of time. Great quality, combined with their ability to meet our exact requirements, made the decision straightforward.

“Each trailer comes with a 10-year paint warranty against rust and combined with the robust construction, we know they will stand up to heavy, daily use over the long term.”

Martello’s fleet now exceeds 150 vehicles, and the company continues to expand.

“Demand for container carriers is strong,” says Danny.

“The UK’s container movement is resilient, and customers are increasingly looking for reliable, flexible haulage solutions. Investing in new, high-quality equipment will ensure we stay ahead of demand.

“Also, the telematics and tyre-monitoring systems give us real-time diagnostics, which helps maximise uptime and plan maintenance more efficiently.”

The Box Liners feature robust steel construction with welded cross members and double longitudinal beams, reinforced parking brakes, and extractable rear bumpers compliant with EC regulations.

Founded in 2017, Martello Transport has grown into a nationwide operator from its Felixstowe base, combining container haulage with specialist transport and rail interface services.

Sweet deal sees Marshall’s tie up partnership with Wild Thingz

Date: October 30, 2025 By admin Categories: Uncategorized No comments

A family-run Worcestershire logistics specialist is celebrating securing a sweet logistics and distribution partnership with a fast-growing confectionery brand.

Pershore-based Marshall’s Transport has partnered with ambitious British startup Wild Thingz, launched last year by former Mondelez executive Fliss Newland.

Wild Thingz turned to Marshall’s while preparing to scale up its distribution across the UK, as it needed a logistics partner with experience in ambient food-grade transport and warehousing.

Marshall’s now manages transit, storage, pallet distribution and fulfilment to online fulfilment hubs for Wild Thingz, which produces a wide range of sweets which are vegan, organic and gluten-free.

Its products contain half the sugar of the top six selling UK sweet brands and its tagline of ‘sweets that pass the parent test’ is a nod to the high quality of its organic sweets, which contain no artificial ingredients.

The partnership has proved to be so strong that Pallet-Track network member Marshall’s even undertook and passed a Soil Association audit for the storage of ambient pre-packed organic products on behalf of Wild Thingz.

Brian Simpson, Operations Director at Marshall’s Transport, said:

“We operate as an extension of the Wild Thingz team, handling every step of the logistics chain, from loading, through transport and delivery, all with precision, clarity and care.

“Our service and support have been a game-changer for Wild Thingz, helping them to ensure key clients and large retail buyers have been fulfilled quickly and reliably.

“From day one, the experience of working with Wild Thingz has been brilliant. They have been a joy to work with and we have always tried to help accommodate their needs as a start-up company – whether that’s meeting a surprise retailer deadline or preparing and holding pallets for longer than originally planned.

“We are looking forward to building a successful long-term partnership.”

Abby Hambrook, Head of Operations at Wild Thingz, said:

“Working with Marshall’s has been a game-changer for Wild Thingz.

“As a startup in a competitive sector, we need a logistics partner who doesn’t treat us like just another pallet number, but someone who genuinely supports our growth. With Marshall’s, we found that.

“Their flexibility, professionalism, sense of ownership and care makes us feel like they are as invested in our success as much as we are.”

Delamode turns to Mike Watson Transport to support growth

Date: October 30, 2025 By admin Categories: Uncategorized No comments

Palletline business Mike Watson Transport (MWT), is playing a pivotal role in supporting the fast-growing operations of Delamode International Logistics, a leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider based in Southampton.

The collaboration between the two businesses has quickly developed into a trusted and efficient partnership, built on clear communication, operational flexibility, and consistently high levels of service.

Delamode International Logistics, part of the wider Delamode Group with operations across the UK, Europe, and the Baltic states, operates a 467,000 sq. ft bonded warehouse with over 60,000 pallet spaces. The company handles a wide variety of products including toys, sports equipment, and high-value tech, supplying major retailers and Amazon fulfilment centres across the country.

With outbound volumes set to quadruple during peak trading periods—Delamode International Logistics turned to Mike Watson Transport, based in Bordon, Hampshire to ensure the capacity and capability to meet demand.

From the outset the MWT team implemented a stand trailer swap system, enabling a continuous flow of outbound freight.  Plans already in motion to double trailer capacity as volumes increase.

Chris King Head of Freight & Transport Operations (eCommerce and Multi-Channel) of Delamode International Logistics explained the importance of the decision:

“Compared to other providers, MWT offered the best combination of responsiveness, POD visibility, and pricing transparency. Ultimately, it came down to trust. They understood our business, anticipated our needs, and delivered results from day one.”

From early morning deliveries into major retailers to late-night arrivals, MWT is actively preparing to support Delamode International Logistics’ complex and time-sensitive delivery schedules. The team is also working closely with Palletline depots nationwide to enable out-of-hours delivery capability, a growing requirement as Delamode International Logistics supports major retail promotions and new product launches.

MWT’s use of Qargo, an intelligent transport management system, gives Delamode full transparency across its pallet movements, including real-time job pricing and instant proof of delivery (POD) access—crucial for time-critical deliveries into Amazon and other retailers. The visibility the system provides has significantly reduced internal administration for Delamode International Logistics, helped to accelerate customer invoicing, and allowed the operations team to monitor performance in real time.

“The system tells you the cost of each pallet upfront and gives you PODs within minutes of delivery. That keeps our customers happy, speeds up payment in turn streamlining the process,” said King.

Service levels have been strong from the outset, with early KPI tracking showing an industry leading 98% on-time performance. As peak season approaches, plans are in place to further scale support, including introducing a second daily trailer and increasing flexibility across the Palletline network.

Steve Thorpe, Head of Commercial at Palletline Logistics, commented:

“Partnering with Delamode International Logistics at such a crucial time reflects the trust and collaboration between our teams. It’s more than a logistics solution—it’s a shared commitment to growth, reliability, and long-term success.”

David Simonds, Managing Director, MWT said:

“Supporting Delamode International Logistics’ growth has been a real opportunity for our team. This partnership shows the strength of our people and our systems working together. Our team takes pride in ensuring every delivery is on time and every process is transparent. As volumes grow, we’re ready to scale further, giving Delamode International Logistics the confidence to expand knowing their logistics are in safe hands.”

Chris King agreed, adding:

“MWT and Palletline are not just service providers—they are a critical part of our operation. Their flexibility, technology, and commitment to communication give us the confidence to scale fast and deliver for our customers, no matter how complex the challenge.”

GRIDSERVE begins building the UK’s first public electric HGV charging hubs

Date: November 1, 2025 By admin Categories: Uncategorized No comments

GRIDSERVE has started constructing the UK’s first public electric HGV charging hubs, marking a major milestone in the country’s transition to cleaner road freight. These new locations form the foundation of the Electric Freightway – a nationwide programme designed to give fleet operators access to high-powered, public charging designed specifically for electric heavy goods vehicles (eHGVs).

With the first hubs underway at Extra Baldock (J10, A1(M)) and Moto Exeter (J30, M5), the project signals a turning point in how logistics companies can electrify their fleets with confidence.

The new hubs are being built with the real-world needs of freight operators in mind.

Each site will include:

• 4 to 8 ultra-rapid charging bays capable of delivering high power to large battery vehicles

• Drive-through design for articulated lorries and trailers, eliminating the need for reversing or awkward positioning

• Swept-path and manoeuvrability planning to ensure safe, efficient access for HGVs

• Wider bays, clear signage, and driver-height terminals to suit commercial vehicle layouts

• Secure facilities, including lighting, sensors, walkways, and CCTV

By focusing on accessibility and safety, these sites will support efficient EV charging for electric lorries without disrupting fleet schedules.

The Electric Freightway is being delivered as part of the UK Government’s Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator (ZEHID) programme. Supported by Innovate UK, the project combines GRIDSERVE’s infrastructure expertise with national funding to accelerate the transition to zero-emission road freight.

GRIDSERVE was selected for the project based on its strong delivery track record, including the award-winning Electric Forecourts® and Electric Highway networks.

These new hubs aren’t just built for trucks; they’re also designed with driver experience and safety in mind:

• Drive-through access reduces risk and stress for HGV drivers

• Elevated screens and connectors suit taller driving positions

• Wide, marked walkways support safe exit and re-entry

• Lighting, CCTV, and signage improve site visibility 24/7

By focusing on usability and efficiency, the Electric Freightway will help operators integrate charging into existing workflows.

BIFA’s bids happy retirement to Robert Keen – A champion of freight forwarding

Date: November 3, 2025 By admin Categories: Uncategorized No comments

After a remarkable 26-year career with the British International Freight Association (BIFA), Robert Keen officially fully retired from the association at the end of October 2025.

Robert – known to many as Bob – has been a familiar and respected figure across the UK freight forwarding community, having personally visited countless BIFA members and tirelessly championed the industry at home and abroad.

Originally joining the BIFA secretariat full-time in 1999 as general manager, Robert brought with him significant experience from previous roles at ASM (UK), Burlington Air Express, and BAX Global.

Over the years, he became the go-to authority on the BIFA Standard Trading Conditions, co-developing both member training programmes and the Know your BIFA STC article series in BIFAlink alongside former director general Colin Beaumont.

In 2014, following the retirement of Peter Quantrill, Robert was appointed BIFA’s director general. Over the next eight years, he led the association with distinction, driving membership growth, increasing industry recognition within government, and placing a renewed focus on attracting and developing the next generation of freight professionals.

Robert also played a vital role on the global stage. He chaired FIATA’s Working Group Sea and was later appointed Secretary General of FIATA, fostering international collaboration on behalf of freight forwarders worldwide. His work with FIATA saw him attend many of its World Congress events, fulfilling a personal ambition to travel while representing UK freight forwarding interests globally.

Although Robert stepped down from his role as BIFA director general at the end of 2022, he remained with BIFA as international relations manager, continuing to support the association and its members during the transition.

Robert’s commitment to education and training in the sector was unwavering. He championed career development and was a passionate advocate for promoting freight forwarding as a rewarding profession – something he experienced first-hand from his early days in the industry.

Reflecting on his retirement, Robert said:

“As anyone heading for retirement will tell you, your working life seems to pass in the blink of an eye. My memories of 1970 are still sharp – as is my recollection of my first day at Airport Courier Services walking around Heathrow from the airline sheds to the forwarders and to the long room at Customs. Since then, forwarding has given me many great memories and some great friends.

“We are part of a fantastic community and although our profile is often low, it’s a sign that forwarders get on with the tasks at hand quietly, under the radar – which means that we are doing the job well.”

BIFA director general, Steve Parker added:

“Bob has not only been a work colleague, but also a great friend, whose company and sense of humour (we know he has a sense of humour – he supports Brentford FC) I have enjoyed for many years.

“I wish him well for a long, healthy and enjoyable retirement, as does everyone at BIFA – from the secretariat to the Board of Directors.”

MG Motor and XPO Logistics agree long term partnership

Date: November 4, 2025 By admin Categories: Uncategorized No comments

MG Motor has partnered with XPO Logistics in a long term agreement to strengthen its warehousing and aftermarket parts distribution further.

XPO Logistics is opening a dedicated, modern warehouse facility for MG Motor in Daventry, West Northamptonshire, with approximately 40 employees and an initial 15,000 m² of storage space. This has the flexibility to upsize to accommodate MG Motor’s future growth projections, as well as comprehensively supporting over 340,000 MG customers. This new warehouse will combine the previous parts warehousing of Longbridge, West Midlands, removing inter site stock transfers, improving planning and service levels, and reducing distribution costs.

XPO Logistics’ proprietary Warehouse Management System technology will enhance put-away processes, stock accuracy, and picking efficiency, helping to streamline MG’s current processes and consolidating its operations to create greater efficiency. 

The partnership also includes parts distribution to over 150 UK retailers. This will be managed by XPO Logistics’ unique automotive distribution network, which handles around 7,100 roll cages of aftermarket parts to 2,500 delivery locations per night. This contract, the latest expansion in XPO Logistics’ automotive aftermarket footprint in the UK, cements its position as the leading provider in the UK aftermarket sector.

The parts order window has also been expanded, raising the previous order cut-off for dealers by up to three hours, with deliveries guaranteed before 8 am the next day. This means further improving service levels for MG customers by cutting repair times as well as reducing the cost of loan vehicles. Stock levels can also be managed even more effectively, with every aspect of these changes leading to better margin control for the whole business.

MG Motor will also benefit from state-of-the-art proprietary transport software such as XPO Logistics’ CO2 Dashboard. This reduces their emissions across the board, providing MG Motor with greater visibility and reporting.

Guy Pigounakis, MG Motor UK Commercial Director, comments:

“XPO Logistics is a proven partner, with an excellent record when it comes to supporting major automotive operations. We’ve been impressed by their warehousing and delivery technology solutions and the benefits these will bring to MG customers.

“For MG this is another significant step forward, the ongoing growth of the brand in our home market means there’s now more scope to create exciting, new opportunities here in the UK with partners like XPO Logistics.

“Current and future MG customers will enjoy an even higher standard of service and experience. Our new Northamptonshire site marks an important step forward—it will help us deliver to our dealer partners faster, make ordering simpler, and give us the capacity to grow with our customers’ needs. More than just a facility, it represents our commitment to efficiency, quality, and care in everything we do.”

Pigounakis added that the new Northamptonshire facility will also enable MG to introduce a range of initiatives at its historic Longbridge site, with a strong focus on skills development and training. A further announcement is scheduled for next spring. 

Dan Myers, Managing Director – UK and Ireland, XPO Logistics, said:

“We have always been successful in the automotive aftermarket arena, and partnering with an iconic British brand like MG, which is now firmly established as one of the UK’s best-selling manufacturers, is proof yet again that we are leading in this space. We’re excited to see what we can achieve over the next few years, and hopefully further into the future.” 

Davies Turner and Torrestir tie the knot

Date: November 4, 2025 By admin Categories: Uncategorized No comments

Two of Europe’s leading independent freight forwarding companies are partnering and combining their strengths, expertise and local market knowledge to deliver enhanced transport and logistics services in the trade between the UK and Portugal.

Davies Turner and the Torrestir Group are now working together to enhance their established import and export services to offer operational efficiency across the supply chain.

This will be delivered via improved connectivity, increased capacity, and faster transit times, strengthening logistics support for businesses trading between both countries.

Overland trailer services will offer multiple weekly departures in both directions, connecting Torrestir’s logistics hubs in Lisbon and Porto with direct links to five of Davies Turner’s UK regional hubs: London, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, and Glasgow.

The services will offer full load, part load, and express options, using curtainsider and box trailer vehicles according to cargo requirements.

In both countries, Customs clearance on arrival will be available at each company’s customs bonded warehouses or at the border for northbound traffic using Davies Turner’s Smart Border service.

To date, Torrestir’s northbound shipments have utilised a centralised model with a single entry hub in London.  Moving to a network of direct connections with five of Davies Turner’s UK freight hubs will enhance responsiveness and strengthen proximity with customers and partners.

“This transformation will raise our service standards in groupage and open new opportunities in the LTL market,” said Hélder Silva, managing director of Torrestir Transitários.

“Together with our partner, we are expanding into the ADR market for the carriage of dangerous and hazardous goods by road.

“This represents a significant opportunity, particularly in imports, and aligns with our strategy for growth and innovation.”

The partnership reinforces Davies Turner’s long-standing presence across the Iberian Peninsula. Torrestir already serves as a key partner to Salvat Logistics, Davies Turner’s long-term Spanish agent, creating a seamlessly connected and highly aligned service network across both Portugal and Spain.

“This partnership with Torrestir reflects our commitment to continued investment in high-quality, reliable European logistics solutions,” said Jason Edwards, Director of Davies Turner & Co.

“By partnering with a well-established and reputable independent forwarder, we are reinforcing our commitment to service excellence and delivering seamless freight solutions for our customers.”

Luís Torres, CEO of the Torrestir Group, added:

“At Torrestir, we believe the best partnerships are built on shared values and a common vision of the future. Davies Turner embodies that same philosophy — a family business with tradition, rigour, and a focus on service quality. Together, we are strengthening our international presence and our ability to provide logistics solutions that are more efficient, and more sustainable.”

99s all round

Date: November 4, 2025 By admin Categories: Uncategorized No comments

GB Railfreight has announced that its new fleet of Class 99 bimodal locomotives has received Authorisation for Placing Into Service (APIS) from the UK’s Office of Rail and Road (ORR). This ORR approval confirms that the Class 99 meets all essential requirements for safety, accessibility, environmental standards, and technical compatibility.

The APIS milestone is the next milestone for the Class 99s as they prepare to enter service. Having arrived in the UK in May, they were formally launched in July and since then have been put through their paces across the routes and regions.

Developed in partnership with Stadler and Beacon Rail, the £150 million investment marks a significant step forward in modernising Britain’s rail freight infrastructure.

Designed to operate on both electrified and non-electrified routes, the Class 99 locomotives offer greater flexibility, reduced emissions, and enhanced performance. They will play a vital role in decarbonising supply chains, supporting regional growth, and delivering a cleaner, faster, and more resilient freight network.

The Class 99’s first revenue generating service is expected to run in early 2026.

Liam Day, Asset Director of GB Railfreight, said:

“Receiving ORR authorisation is another huge step forward for the Class 99, and we’ve been deeply encouraged by the numbers the 99001 and 99002 have been posting in testing over the past few weeks. The Class 99 will set a new benchmark for sustainability, performance and safety. And we cannot wait to get them out on the network for our customers early next year.”

£10m redevelopment for Birkenhead’s Eastfloat Terminal

Date: November 4, 2025 By admin Categories: Uncategorized No comments

The Eastfloat Terminal at Birkenhead Port is to be revitalised by a £10 million redevelopment, strengthening the Mersey region’s critical maritime and logistics infrastructure.

Now under the ownership of Peel Ports Group, the terminal will be completely redeveloped, creating around 300,000 sq ft of indoor and 160,000 sq ft of outdoor storage capacity.

The works, set to take place over the coming years, will significantly expand and modernise the site’s warehousing and cargo-handling facilities.

The Terminal will continue to be operated by Peel Ports Logistics, the Group’s dedicated logistics division, ensuring a seamless, end-to-end service for customers. In close proximity to the Port of Liverpool, which is just 7km away and also owned by the port operator, the Terminal will serve markets across the UK and overseas.

The upgraded facility will handle a diverse range of cargoes, including bulk, steel, timber, containerised cargo, heavy lift, project cargo, and renewables and offshore equipment. A dedicated container handling and devanning operation, offering both indoor and outdoor storage, is already in place.

Operations will be supported by a dedicated on-site logistics division, providing a complete service offering from vessel chartering right through to final delivery by road.

Investment in new plant and machinery for the Terminal is also well underway – including the installation of a new Liebherr 180 crane – and development opportunities are being explored across the site, including the potential for two cement silos with a total capacity of 14,000 mt.

Seb Gardiner, Managing Director, Peel Ports Logistics said:

“This investment reflects our commitment to bringing the Eastfloat Terminal back to life – we are both restoring its heritage and transforming it into a vibrant, modern logistics hub.

“The Mersey region is firmly at the heart of UK trade, and restoring Eastfloat will allow us to keep meeting the demands of the most complex and challenging cargo movements.”

The Terminal’s transformation is part of Peel Ports Group’s ongoing strategy to expand its logistics and port services, supporting UK supply chains and delivering world-class facilities to customers across a wide range of sectors.

The Fargo Group announces the acquisition of Intermodal Manager

Date: November 5, 2025 By admin Categories: Uncategorized No comments

Fargo has announced that it has acquired Intermodal Manager, strengthening its position as a leading provider of technology solutions in the logistics and supply chain sector.

This strategic acquisition broadens our product range, improves our intermodal planning capabilities, and aligns with our mission to deliver smarter, more connected, and more efficient container management solutions for customers across road, rail, and maritime operations.

Intermodal Manager brings extensive expertise and an established customer base, which will now benefit from Fargo’s expanded technology ecosystem, innovation roadmap, and service support.

Stephen Collins, Managing Director, Fargo, said:

“This acquisition marks another milestone in Fargo’s growth. We’re excited to welcome Intermodal Manager’s customers and partners into the Fargo community as we continue shaping the future of integrated logistics technology.”

Ian Rogerson, ex-MD of Intermodal Systems and now Terminal Systems Product Director, Fargo, added:

“Fargo shares our vision for modernising intermodal management and reducing operational complexity. This acquisition enables us to provide even greater value to our customers and speed up the platform’s future development.”

This news comes hot on the heels of news that Faro has rebranded.

For over two decades, the company has supported shippers, hauliers and freight forwarders with the visibility, control and operational efficiency needed to keep supply chains moving. As the logistics sector undergoes rapid digital transformation, Fargo’s new identity aligns with its vision for the future – combining proven industry expertise with next-generation technology to help customers work smarter, faster and with greater precision.

Steve Collins commented:

“For many years, our customers have known us as a trusted provider of intermodal transport management software. However, the industry is changing fast – automation, data-led decision-making and AI are reshaping how logistics teams work. Our new brand reflects who we are today: a technology-driven partner empowering smarter, more efficient fleet, yard and container operations. This rebrand marks progress, confidence and our commitment to helping the industry move forward.”

The refreshed identity realigns Fargo within the wider freight logistics ecosystem and underlines its purpose: to drive more efficient container transport through the combination of intelligent software, AI and deep industry experience. It reinforces the company’s belief that the most effective movement of goods comes from the power of technology working hand in hand with human relationships and real-world know-how.

As part of the rebrand, the company’s leading intermodal TMS is now clearly positioned as Fargo TOPS, with all associated modules, such as driver apps, remote access, dispatch tools, ePOD and container tracking, defined as integrated features within the platform rather than standalone products. Alongside Fargo TOPS, Fargo YARD provides advanced container yard management capabilities, helping operators manage storage, handling and gate movements with greater efficiency and accuracy.

This streamlined approach simplifies the customer experience and provides a clear roadmap for future innovation, ensuring that Fargo continues to deliver real-time operational visibility, smarter planning, built-in compliance and scalable fleet and intermodal management capabilities.

Paula Bennett, Marketing Manager at Fargo, added:

“This is much more than a change in appearance. The Fargo brand expresses our purpose, our product strengths and our role in supporting customers through an evolving logistics landscape. It brings clarity to our platform, confidence in our direction and a shared identity that reflects who we are now and who we’re becoming.”
