EXPERTS IN MOVING HAZARDOUS GOODS

“A lot has changed since Istarted this company over two decades ago, but one thing that has always remained at our coreisour customer care,” stresses managing director John Donovan, the man who founded JJX Logistics back in 1997.

“As atime-critical business, we have to be readytoadapt as quickly as the industry we operate in does in order to ensuresuch a strong service,” he added.

One area JJX is keeping avery close eye on is hazardous goods, specifically the market surrounding lithium-ion batteries in which the global demand for their use is estimated to increase elevenfold between 2020 and 2030.

“It is clear to see just how fast the market for lithium battery transportation is becoming and above that, the ever challenging requirements for the safe transport of hazardous goods,” explained Mr Donovan.

Since 1968, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe has governed the international carriage of dangerous goods by road across the continent with the ADR agreement, something that Mr Donovan and the team at JJX Logistics have worked tirelessly to meet.

“Weare now one of very few logistics companies in the country who can move all nine ADR classes and even fewer that can do so in atemperaturecontrolled environment,” added Mr Donovan

Covering almost two million miles last year, the Kingswinford-based logistics company’s efforts in meeting the strict EU requirements have certainly paid dividends with JJX experiencing its most financially successful year to date in 2022 and the introduction of daily routes to some of Europe’smajor commercial cities including Paris, Frankfurt and Barcelona.

The company’simpressive growth has also seen the arrival of bespoke kitted new generation class-leading DAF trucks (pictured above) to its existing fleet of morethan 40 vehicles ranging from aMercedes-Benz Sprinter to 40-tonne truck

JJX Logistics is based at Unit 66 on Pensnett Trading Estate, Kingswinford.
