Contract Logistics Solutions

With over a century of expertise, Archbold Logistics is a trusted UK logistics company providing reliable and cost-effective contract logistics services. Our “better than dedicated” fleet model delivers the benefits of a private fleet without the overheads, keeping your supply chain efficient and cost-effective.

Efficiency built in:

  • Back haul optimisation
    Vehicles are loaded both ways, eliminating empty return trips and keeping costs competitive.

  • High-capacity trailers
    Our tall, 3.1M internal high-cube trailers carry more per journey, maximising load fill and reducing the number of trips required.

  • Flexible & scalable

  • Guaranteed capacity
    We maintain enough vehicles to cover all requirements, even in peak seasons.

  • Adaptable service
    Scale operations up or down as business demands change, without compromising service quality.

“

As a business that trades inside and outside the United Kingdom, we face multiple challenges around customs, getting materials and then ensuring an ‘on time’ delivery to our customers. Archbold Logistics helps across all those areas with a friendly approach whilst providing professional advice. Archbold Logistics supports us with storage, international and domestic transport requirements using alternative delivery routes and customs documentation.

They have a huge network of transport/warehouse providers and emergency services that can get you out of trouble in less than 24 hours if needed. We recently had an issue with stock coming into us from Europe. We had run out of product and were looking like failing a delivery to a big customer. I contacted Archbold Logistics who provided us with an emergency transport solution within 24 hours and at a good price. This enabled us to make our delivery and not disappoint our customer.

Archbold has a long presence in the market and their professional approach at all levels from onboarding to problem solving is excellent. Archbold is a good brand run by people who know what they are doing and who you immediately feel comfortable with. The team is friendly, and we feel we can trust them to handle our requirements.
