Currie Solutions is set to move out of the red, three years after the loss-making logistics firm was purchased in a management buy-out, and despite having to battle its way through the impact of Brexit, the pandemic, the driver shortage crisis and global supply chain restrictions.
The Dumfries-headquartered group, which operates a fleet of 140 trucks and 360 trailers, has 10 UK depots as well as sites in France and the Netherlands and a number of trading partners in Germany and Italy, writes Carol Millett.
It offers a one stop shop of solutions, including contract haulage, UK and Western Europe groupage services, warehousing, container import and export and customs services. The group also has membership of Palletline, Palletways and The Pallet Network.
Three years after its management buy-out, in January 2019, the company is forecasting a 51% rise in turnover this year, to around £75m, and is preparing to post a profit – the first time since 2015.
