We’re excited to introduce our Meet the Team series, a chance to put the spotlight on the people behind our Sales team and the expertise they bring to supporting our customers across the UK.

First up, we’re introducing Lloyd Satchwell and George Johnston, who cover Scotland, The Midlands and surrounding areas. They work closely with customers across their regions to understand their needs, build strong partnerships, and help deliver the right solutions.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be introducing more members of our Sales team, sharing the people, knowledge, and passion that help us support businesses across the UK.

Stay tuned to meet more of the team!

As our Respect at Work campaign comes to a close, our final focus is on speaking up and supporting one another.

Creating a respectful workplace is everyone's responsibility. It's reflected in the way we communicate, support colleagues, and respond when something doesn't feel right. While speaking up isn't always easy, raising concerns early and looking out for one another helps create a culture where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected.

Although the campaign has ended, the conversation continues. Our Respect at Work guides will soon be available on Sage Self Service as an ongoing resource for all colleagues.

If you haven't yet arranged your shipments for August, there's still time!

Rather than refusing collections during the August slowdown, we can continue collecting freight in Italy, securely storing it at our depots until the next available trailer can move it onwards.

With decades of experience in the Italian market, we help businesses navigate summer closures, capacity shortages and HGV driving restrictions with flexible transport and warehousing solutions.

If you're unsure how the August shutdown could affect your business, get in touch today.

Your freight deserves CAREful logistics.

Q2 saw mixed performance across the UK and EU logistics and transportation sector. Freight volumes remained resilient, supported by e-commerce, manufacturing and third-party logistics demand, but margins were squeezed by higher fuel, labour and transport costs, persistent border administration and supply chain disruption.

UK operators faced softer business confidence despite modest economic growth, while European markets showed improving leasing activity and stable demand for modern logistics facilities.

Looking into Q3, expectations are cautiously positive, with seasonal trade, easing inflation and stronger occupier demand supporting volumes. However, geopolitical risks, energy prices and ongoing cost pressures are likely to keep profitability under pressure.

If you have freight moving to or from Italy in August, now is the time to finalise your transport plans.

August traditionally brings reduced transport capacity, HGV driving restrictions and widespread factory and business closures. Planning ahead can make all the difference.

We continue collecting freight in Italy and can hold shipments safely at our depots until the next available trailer is ready, helping keep your supply chain moving during the most challenging period of the summer.
