When a load has to stay chilled or frozen and arrive the same day, there is very little room for error.
A late delivery or a break in temperature can mean wasted stock, missed production slots or failed compliance checks. Simply Logistics was set up to take that risk away for businesses that move temperature-sensitive goods across the UK and Ireland.
A fleet built for the cold chain
Based in Burton upon Trent, Simply Logistics runs a fleet that ranges from single-pallet vans to 26-pallet trailers. Every vehicle can hold anywhere from +25°C to -25°C, so ambient, chilled and frozen goods can all be moved on the same day without changing supplier. Vehicles are GPS-tracked and fully insured, and the company is backed by a network of more than 3,000 vehicles and drivers, which means capacity is there when an urgent job comes in.
Who it works with
The company works almost entirely with businesses rather than consumers. Typical customers include:
- Food producers and wholesalers moving chilled and frozen stock.
- Pharmaceutical suppliers with temperature-controlled consignments.
- Businesses moving specialist goods that need a set temperature.
- Event and festival organisers needing reliable deliveries on a fixed timetable.
Its work has ranged from everyday chilled food runs to delivering Antarctic research samples safely, the kind of job where temperature and timing both have to be exactly right.
Three core services
- Same-day courier: a dedicated vehicle collects and delivers directly on the same day.
- Express haulage: UK-wide transport for larger consignments, full truck loads and time-sensitive deliveries.
- Temperature-controlled transport: chilled and frozen transport for food, pharma and specialist goods, from a single pallet upwards.
With a dedicated vehicle on each same-day job, goods go straight from collection to delivery, which helps protect both product quality and temperature.
Why businesses choose a specialist
General courier networks are built around parcels and multi-drop routes. That works for many items, but not for a pallet of frozen food or a temperature-critical medical consignment that has to arrive within hours. A specialist refrigerated courier plans each job around the load: the right vehicle, the right temperature setting and a direct route to the customer.
For businesses that cannot afford a missed delivery or a broken cold chain, that focus is the difference between a supplier that simply moves goods and one that protects them.
