AV Dawsons Port of Middlesbrough is Ideally positioned on the River Tees, North East England and provides a full freight logistics service.

The essential goal of A V Dawson UK is to provide bespoke customer focussed multimodal distribution logistics...
..in doing so we strive to deliver measurable service benefits whilst reducing operating costs within our customers' supply chain. UK customers can select an individual element of our service range or opt for a complete multimodal distribution logistics package incorporating added val

ue activities. All of this from one multimodal distribution logistics supplier, one single point of contact, allowing you to concentrate on your core business. We achieve that goal by means of a diverse range of haulage, shipping, warehousing and railhead facilities, all driven by innovative management and a concern for customer service that verges on obsession. We provide world-wide multimodal distribution logistics coverage and handle every type of cargo and rail freight from consumer products to steel beams. We are the only UK company in the North of England to offer multimodal distribution logistics by road, rail or sea from its own facilities and are the largest independent dry cargo wharf operator on the River Tees. Our three neighbouring sites - the Ayrton Railhead, the North Sea Supply Base and Dawsons Wharf - operate to IS09001:2000 quality standards and provide the comprehensive resources that have helped build our international reputation.

Ahead of we are proud to showcase our four charity partners who we support on an annual basis.

At AV Dawson, we've always believed that charity starts at home. Supporting our local communities has been part of our business from the very beginning and it continues to shape who we are today.

Through fundraising, volunteering, sponsorship and practical support, we work closely with our four charity partners to help make a positive difference to the lives of people across our region. Their vital work strengthens our communities and we are proud to stand alongside them throughout the year.

While these four organisations are our primary charity partners, our commitment doesn't stop there. We are also proud to support a wide range of other charities, community groups and local initiatives that help create opportunities, tackle challenges and improve the places where we live and work.

Giving back has always been at the heart of AV Dawson, and we're incredibly grateful to our colleagues and partners who help us support so many worthwhile causes.

From quayside to long-term storage, the Port of Middlesbrough recently delivered a complete logistics solution for a customer requiring specialist heavy lift support.

Working alongside Sarens, we supported a customer through every stage of their cargo journey. The operation began on our deepwater berths and heavy lift quay, where the cargo was safely handled before being transported across site on Self Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs).

The cargo was then delivered to our container terminal, Tees Riverside Intermodal Park (TRIP), where it was lifted into position and placed into long-term storage.

By combining heavy lift expertise, specialist equipment, multimodal infrastructure and flexible storage facilities, the Port of Middlesbrough was able to provide a seamless, end-to-end solution.

A massive well done and thank you to everyone who played a part in making this project such a success.

Our Chairman Gary Dawson and family took part in the event and an incredible £13,765 (and counting!) has been raised.

It was a great morning seeing businesses and the community come together to support the hospice and see the Port of Middlesbrough site from a very different perspective!

Well done to the Hospice and everyone involved.
