Is your road haulage partner helping your ESG reporting, or holding it back? 📊

If you manage logistics for a manufacturing or multi-national business, Scope 3 emissions are likely at the top of your agenda. The hauliers you choose directly dictate your environmental footprint.

At Hexagon, we are making it easier for our clients to meet their sustainability targets. We’ve upgraded our fleet with the latest high-efficiency vehicles, saving over 20 tonnes of CO₂ every year.

When you book your freight with us, you aren't just getting AEO-certified, secure transport across Europe. You are actively reporting lower carbon intensity per tonne-mile of your delivered goods.

Spotted outside Old Trafford📍
Our team was by the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand completing a delivery. Hexagon was founded right here in Manchester back in 1973.

Over 50 years later, while our operations now stretch across the UK, Europe, and worldwide, delivering to iconic landmarks in our home city will always mean a lot to us.

From single dedicated drops to full-scale international supply chain management, we’re proud to keep not only Manchester, but also the rest of the world moving.

Fizzy Friday!!! 🍾

Not every delivery involves bulk chemicals or industrial parts, last Friday’s job was a little more delicate 🥂

We were at the Great Yorkshire Showground dropping off a full delivery for a prosecco supplier.

Event logistics always demands precise timing and careful handling, especially when you're moving high-value drinks stock.

Unloaded safely, on schedule, and ready for the weekend. From specialist FMCG to everyday haulage, we adapt to whatever cargo you need moving.

That is where our regular UK-France groupage services come in.

At Hexagon Group, we specialise in consolidating smaller shipments into efficient, cost-effective loads. Whether it is manufacturing components, engineering equipment, or chemical goods, we have been handling this exact corridor for over 50 years.

The Hexagon Advantage:

NOTICE: Yes, summer is busy… but here’s how to stay ahead of it

As we move into peak season, European supply chains naturally experience higher demand but with the right planning, freight can continue moving smoothly and efficiently.

Retail activity increases, manufacturing schedules tighten, and holiday periods begin to impact capacity across key routes.

What’s driving summer pressure?
Several factors come together at this time of year:
‣ Increased retail stock movement ahead of peak trading periods
‣ Stricter manufacturing timelines and production schedules
‣ Holiday disruption across European transport networks
‣ Higher congestion at ports, hubs, and major freight corridors

What this means across Europe
These seasonal shifts often result in:
‣ Reduced available space on key routes
‣ Longer planning and booking lead times
‣ Increased congestion across EU logistics networks
‣ Greater demand for scheduled and reliable groupage services

How to stay ahead
The businesses that manage summer freight most effectively are the ones that plan early:
‣ Book shipments in advance where possible
‣ Secure space on scheduled groupage services
‣ Allow flexibility in collection and delivery timings
‣ Work with a reliable European logistics partner

Staying ahead of seasonal demand
At Hexagon, we help businesses keep freight moving throughout peak periods with dependable UK–Europe transport solutions, including regular groupage services into France and across Europe.
