Davies Turner rises up table of Top 30 UK logistics providers

Davies Turner has risen six places to 23rd in the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport’s prestigious league table of the Top 30 logistics providers in the UK.

The long-established UK-based international freight and logistics company notes that almost all the other companies in the top 30 table are either industry sector specialists, or part of a multinational.

The CILT’s annual Top 30 table has been compiled for many years and it is accepted that it recognises logistics companies who best exemplify excellence.

The table is produced by assessing a range of key criteria and evaluates data such as financials, performance, professional accreditation, the gender pay gap and human resource factors.

Davies Turner director, Alan Williams says: “Inclusion once again within this year’s Top 30 is a testimony to the progressive investment that we continue to make in our distribution centres, IT systems, services and staff training, and reflects our strong audited results and financial performance, which are a product of our focus on responding to ever-evolving customer needs.”

The rise up the CILT Top 30 league table follows Davies Turner being named last December as the number one performer in the annual list of the top 50 logistics service providers produced by leading industry trade magazine, Logistics Manager.

Logistics Manager uses financial data filed with Companies House to produce its Top 50 table based on a number of key metrics, the foremost of which is percentage growth in turnover from the previous financial year.

Third party endorsement of this kind is a great way to demonstrate Davies Turner's commitment to investing in its operations and delivering high quality freight and logistics services. It has been an action packed year since that last CILT report, which has seen the company set up a new logistics subsidiary; add prestigious new partners to our international network; and continue to invest in our 18 hubs around the UK and Ireland, as well as open a £40 million logistics hub in Atherstone, its largest and most exciting investment to date.

WIlliams concludes: “Achievements like those outlined above demonstrate to all our stakeholders how our focus on sustainable and profitable growth remains central to Davies Turner's 150-year plus success under the same independent ownership.

“There will be more innovations and more progress to come as we develop our network and systems to help clients old and new with the management of their international supply chains.”
