About Us

Background

Since its formation in 1991 THE LOGISTICS BUSINESS Limited has developed into one of the UK’s leading specialist logistics and supply chain consultancies with many ‘blue chip’ clients such as Argos, Boots the Chemists, B&Q, Computacenter, New Look, Procter & Gamble, Quaker Oats and Woolworths.

The Company employs a highly experienced team of Consultants with a wide range of backgrounds and capabilities. All have practical experience of running or working within various aspects of the supply chain and this ensures that solutions are practical and achievable.

Strategy

Our logistics consultancy activities cover most aspects of the supply chain. There is work at a strategic level where we are helping clients to look at new ways of managing the flow of materials through their supply chains. Also, we have increasingly been involved in the application of supply chain modelling techniques. Supply chain re-engineering is a core part of our activities.

Warehousing and Distribution

We work on all aspects of warehouse design and operations aimed at improving the way in which warehouses are managed and operate. We have particular skills in distribution operations and have considerable experience of warehouse automation. We have been involved in many automation projects in a variety of industries and throughout Europe and are the UK’s if not Europe’s leading consultancy in this area.

Project Management

Many of our clients have asked us to remain working with them to help bring to fruition the recommendations of our consultancy work. Where appropriate we can provide an experienced project management team to work with the client to help develop new facilities or implement changes to the supply chain.

Logistics IT and Software Services

We have considerable experience of computer systems and software for warehousing and distribution. We can provide logistics IT consultancy and in particular we can help draw up requirements for computer systems, prepare Invitations to Tender and write detailed functional specifications. Our own software team can provide software for special applications. Examples are, process optimisation, asset tracking, resource management and a variety of analytical tools.

A Practical Approach

Above all we pride ourselves on delivering practical solutions that can be implemented and succeed - not theoretical, pie-in-the-sky ideas.

Market Sectors

We work in a wide variety of industries from retail distribution to food and drink, building and construction, computers and electronics, engineering and manufacturing, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, banking and finance.
