3P Logistics was formed in 2006 after Ian Walker – now Managing Director, identified a “Significant Gap” in the market place for a personable, cost effective Logistics provider offering total supply chain solutions to all Companies irrespective of their profile i.e. throughput, level of spend etc.

What’s in a name?
The 3P Logistics name derives itself from the industry term 3PL meaning Third Party Logistics. In addition, the Company slogan of “Pride Passion Partnership” carries significance to the Company name.

Our Background
The majority of our team have migrated from a Third Party logistics background covering the respective levels of senior management, line management & shop floor. Our experience has been gleaned from working within large multi-national logistics providers on behalf of a diverse blue-chip client base. With over 40 years of combined experience 3P Logistics are well equipped to instil the highest level of operating discipline whilst pro-actively building lasting customer relations linked to satisfaction.

Our Competitive Edge / “The Gap”
Businesses seeking Third Party Logistics support all too often are “pigeon holed” into 1 of 2 categories:

• Large Blue Chip client seeking large Blue Chip 3PL provider – a large scale single-user / high cost solution
• Small to medium enterprise (SME) seeking local operator with Shed and haulage – a largely restricted ineffective solution

At 3P logistics we believe that “all” business irrespective of their profile should have access to a “total supply chain provider” offering “tailored” supply chain solutions at an affordable cost. All too often clients are forced down the route of the “traditional Haulier” and its limited service offering which in turns drives inefficiencies & adds cost to the supply chain.

“3P Logistics are able to offer the diversity of service normally associated with the larger providers of the logistics world but with a personable approach and at a fraction of the cost”.

Take our diversity on offer; couple it with our quality of staff, our personable service, and our competitive cost to serve really does emphasise the gap and the edge to our business. A traditional warehousing and distribution Company “we are not”.
