“We’re delighted to now be LOGISTEED UK Limited. The change represents an important transition in the business, as we firmly establish ourselves as part of a global group that will open up exciting new opportunities for our business and for our colleagues.
“It’s incredible to think that a business that started out operating from a competitors facility as a logistics supplier to Nissan Motor Corporation in the early days of its life here in Sunderland is now part of a global group, creating hundreds of jobs in Sunderland and across the UK, Supporting blue-chip clients in automotive, premium automotive, construction, electric battery, offshore renewable energy, HVAC, commercial lighting and fashion sectors. The business has come so far, and this marks a bold new chapter for us – one filled with opportunity, innovation and global ambition.”
“This rebrand marks an important step in our evolution, strengthening our role within a global network spanning 122 companies, 1,003 sites and around 30 countries, while continuing to support UK customers across automotive, advanced manufacturing, energy and more.
“The company has come a long way since we started out over 30 years ago, and we can continue to offer people not just a job but a career in a key industry, with fantastic opportunities as part of a global company if they want to progress.”
LOGISTEED UK has already strengthened its operational capability through integrating LOGISTEED operations in Basingstoke, adding specialist expertise in freight forwarding and project cargo. This broader capability allows the company to offer more streamlined, connected logistics services and improved end-to-end supply chain support. Capitalising on a global network providing one-stop services of Smart Logistics.
“We really want to show people that there is huge opportunity in this sector, and outdated perceptions of warehouse work no longer reflect the reality of today’s logistics industry. This is an industry with so much going for it, and we’ll support colleagues to reach their full potential, whether that is through education, training or opportunities to experience work in different locations.
“We’ve got many colleagues who started working for us in operations and have progressed to team leaders, supervisors and operations managers, with others now managing some of our central teams, including Finance Training and IT,” added Martin
