Western Logistics UK celebrates 20th anniversary

Western Logistics Ltd is proud to be celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, continuing to find transport solutions to meet clients’ delivery deadlines.

Director Lyndon Reeve said: “I am delighted to be celebrating our 20-year anniversary. Starting the business from scratch with zero clients, we have grown and adapted tremendously over the years.

“We are grateful for the loyalty of our clients over these two decades and thank them for their continued support. I have loved being part of this ever-changing industry.

“We have certainly faced challenges, from the impacts of COVID and Brexit to the long hours. It’s not for the faint-hearted, but we’ve overcome these obstacles by consistently providing first-class service.”

A piano turner by trade with a scholarship in music, started in this industry over 35 years ago when it wasn’t even called logistics!

He said: “I blame my dad for getting me into this! After the decline in piano tuning work, I followed in his footsteps working on the railway for Red Star Parcels at London Euston.

“With the focus moving to passengers and not parcels, I moved to TNT and this really was the starting point for my training in the movement of shipments worldwide.

“I worked in TNT Mailfast, TNT Skypak, TNT Ipec, three different division specialising in different aspects  of logistics, then involved in the transition to TNT Express Worldwide where I was number one salesperson in the UK, in the top three worldwide winning a trip to the Caribbean salesperson worldwide, in 1991

“After TNT, and working for a number of freight and courier companies, I felt right to embark on a new journey Western Logistics Ltd

“I love working in this business. I have a fantastic team and supportive suppliers who have stood by me throughout the years. Our aim remains to deliver high-quality, professional service to our clients for many more years.”
