“ Although our service offering is very diverse, our operations are connected by one commonality – our customers. We work with customers that want to build a trusted and longstanding partnership with us, becoming an extension of their business. We don’ t want to be the cheapest forwarder in the market, but rather we focus on commodities where we can add value in particular niches, delivering a great service at competitive prices.”
Currently serving as Managing Director for the UK business, Adam has had an interesting career journey, having worked his way up within Maltacourt to become the Managing Director, before moving to his current role following the merger.“ I’ m fortunate to be given a large degree of autonomy to run the UK business in the direction I see fit within the boundary of the group’ s global strategy,” Adam says.“ While it’ s important that we can stand on our own two feet, it’ s valuable to lean on the group’ s people and infrastructure if we need it. There’ s a lot of collaboration across the group too, such as the recent launch of a dedicated aerospace department in the Netherlands, where one of our employees went on a six-month secondment to help with establishing the division. On the other hand, I encourage some healthy competition amongst the group, and I always want Logicall in the UK to drive the best performance!”
New standards
With the logistics industry constantly evolving in line with tech developments, Logicall is no stranger to continued innovation.“ The group has invested in a Chief Technical Officer to identify and implement industry innovations that could have a positive impact on our business,” Adam explains.“ Our focus is on providing more information for our customers, whether that’ s improved tracking and visibility data, AI integrations, or information on their carbon footprint. We’ re also open to partnerships, and we’ ve recently partnered with SPARC, a cooperative linked to the Fontys University of Applied Sciences in Eindhoven on a project that analyzes historical sea freight data to predict future trends and disruptions.”
With multimodal capabilities, sector expertise, and a partnership-driven approach to customers, Logicall is setting new standards for resilient, future-ready supply chains. Under Adam’ s leadership, and with support from the

However, while being profitable is obviously crucial, I don’ t chase numbers. Instead, I want Logicall to be a great place to work, with empowered and engaged employees, as I believe an employer of choice naturally becomes a forwarder of choice.”
When we ask about Adam’ s longer-term goals for Logicall, he first outlines why he has a unique approach to future planning.“ When I first started out in my career, I focused too much on my long-term vision and completely negated the short-term,” Adam concludes.“ I focus more on the next six-to-12 months rather than years ahead, as I’ ve learned to focus on what I can influence now to lay the foundations for future success. If I had to give you a target, I’ d love to see Logicall in the UK reach £ 100 million in the coming years, but without losing our supportive culture and relationships-based approach to customers.” ■
