EV Cargo Solutions & Downton

With a fleet of 400 trucks and 1,400 trailers, we help keep shops stocked and shelves full as we deliver everything from beer to bricks, washing machines to insulation all across the UK.

But, we don’t just deliver freight, our team also operates a network of warehouses across the UK where we store products on behalf of our customers, pick orders and dispatch them to retailers. We have a huge national network of trusted transport partners and that allows us to provide a fully managed transport service– we have a great team that handle all aspects of logistics and distribution so customer know their products are in expert hands.

Andy Humpherson CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

The last three years in UK logistics have been crazy: COVID pandemic restrictions, Brexit challenges and, of course, driver shortages. No sooner did we navigate one crisis, but another presented itself. Resilience has been the key to ensure we get ahead of challenges and drive innovative, and technology-led solutions in our sector.

The scale of our asset base within Downton has created significant hurdles as we have set out to generate profitable operations and remain cost effective in response to market conditions. Changing spending patterns in 2022 and 2023 show us that we need to be more agile. The challenges keep coming but we are fully focused on delivering a division to be proud of within the global reach of EV Cargo.

What can you expect to see from us in 2023? Technology at the centre of all we do, a rightsized fleet working efficiently and effectively, a strong partner base supporting our customer needs and market leading contract logistics and ecommerce solutions within our well invested warehouse operations.

Developing and supporting my colleagues has always been my passion. Without our people we cannot deliver our dream. Exciting times and opportunities aplenty. Let’s grab all opportunities and bring success through a winning mentality!
