About the logistics industry

Logistics is the process that ensures that goods or services are available where and when they are needed in good condition and at competitive prices. This enables efficient management of the supply chain. Freight logistics companies either manage their own distribution system or manage it on behalf of another as ‘third-party logistics’ (3PL) or ‘hauliers’

The UK logistics industry is worth almost £75 billion to the economy and employs around 2.3 million people. In the UK it includes organisations such as TNT and Parcelforce Worldwide.
