📈 Chase Freight Ltd expands operations following acquisition 📈
Chase Freight has announced a significant expansion of its operation at its Dorset based depot, following the acquisition of a neighbouring territory. This move comes after the closure of Transplus Ltd at the end of March, and the retirement of Vinny Hughes from the APC Network after an impressive 26 years of service.
The acquisition marks an important milestone for Chase Freight, recognised for its hands-on, people-first approach and its continued support of SMEs across the region, reinforcing its commitment to growth whilst maintaining the high standards of service it is known for. Guided by values of integrity and trust, the business focuses on developing genuine, long-term partnerships with its customers, underpinned by a deep understanding of their needs.
Following the acquisition, Chase Freight has significantly increased its operational capacity. The business now runs more than 30 daily van routes, more than 25 HGV routes, and employs a growing team of 74 staff. The expansion also brings new geographic coverage, including the additional postcode areas: BH, DT1–5, DT9–11, and SP. This broader footprint allows Chase Freight to support a larger customer base whilst strengthening its presence within the network.
Glenn and Graeme Edwards, Directors at Chase Freight, shared their thoughts on the expansion:
“We were motivated by a combination of ambition, confidence in our team, and a clear opportunity to build on the strong service standards we already deliver. Expanding into an increased area was a natural next step in our growth strategy, allowing us to support more customers whilst strengthening our presence within the network.
It also reflects our belief in the business, our people, and our ability to scale in a way that maintains the quality, reliability, and personal service that Chase Freight is known for.
Going forward, this change is a very positive step for both the business and the team. It creates new opportunities, brings fresh energy, and gives us an even stronger platform to grow within the network. For our team, it is a reflection of the hard work and commitment they show every day, and something they can take real pride in. It also gives us the chance to keep developing, strengthening our operation, and investing in the future with confidence.”
