TST Group acquires Heathrow-based GCS Logistics, expanding specialist capability and accelerating UK & Ireland growth
We are delighted to announce that we have acquired GCS Logistics, the Heathrow-based specialist in UK-Ireland express distribution, white-glove services and complex technical logistics, giving us a strategic operational base at the heart of global trade and a genuinely end-to-end offering spanning freight forwarding, customs clearance, warehousing, distribution and specialist technical handling.
"This is about creating greater value for our customers," said Liam Reid, CEO of TST Group.
"This is the natural progression of a relationship we have valued for many years," added Maire Claire Reid, Managing Director.
It builds on the Midlands footprint established through our 2021 acquisition of Warley Carriers, and brings together two businesses that have collaborated closely for years - as Shaun Reid, Group Operations Director, put it: "For many of us, these are not new relationships."
"This acquisition reflects the disciplined and considered approach we take to growth," said Conor Kelly, Group Finance Director, TST Group. "By combining the strengths of both organisations, we are creating a stronger platform for sustainable growth."
TST Group was assisted in the transaction by Michael McAllister of ASM Chartered Accountants and Glenn Watterson of Mills Selig Solicitors.
A warm welcome to the whole GCS Logistics team.
