“ I get involved at various levels with different companies in different areas of the industry . It ’ s very fulfilling and brings a different pressure to the day job , but thankfully I can run it in parallel , as there are so many crossovers . It continues to increase my awareness of what ’ s going on in our industry , as well as promoting what we do daily . Transport and logistics are a backbone of this country ; pretty much everything we have is transported by truck ,” Tim continues .
“ Since the pandemic , we have continued to experience dramatic cost increases , particularly for equipment , trucks , and staff . There ’ s also huge pressure on rates , as well as increasing port and railhead costs through the introduction of container booking schemes making a stealth tax on our daily operation . We are timed at every point of the supply chain from collecting the container , delivering it and returning it , with financial penalties associated at every level . So , trying to manage that is a considerable aspect of our operation . Up until Easter this year , volumes in the UK were very low and many companies were struggling to make any financial gains . However , we have seen volume return despite an ever-changing supply chain due to vessel rotations and safety threats causing rerouting in the Suez Canal .
“ We ’ ve seen an early Christmas boost in numbers ,” he states . “ While I ’ m not sure how long that will last , it is busier and has been a better quarter . For the rest of the year and moving into 2025 , we will continue to invest in new vehicles and new business . We ’ re also branching out to customers in different areas . We do also want to look at other business opportunities outside of freight containers , but it must be customer led . It ’ s important that our customers see us as a reliable part of their own supply chain .
