Building Strong Businesses

The Freight Management specialists

At ES Logistics we developed our unique service through an ever increasing need by our clients to maintain the savings we had identified and delivered for them.

Knowledge and experience:

Staffed by career long Logistics and Manufacturing professionals at ES Logistics we have a passion for adding value to our clients and building stronger businesses.

Founded in 2012 by Matthew Crook the goal has always been to improve our clients’ businesses and to see freight as a competitive advantage. With Garry Pitt joining in 2014 the company’s focus and growth narrowed down to providing the highest value add proposition - A low cost managed solution by ES Logistics’ existing clients freight needs.

Due to the success of the service, this unique opportunity quickly gained recognition within our professional network with requests for ES Logistics modelling and management service facilitating the need for additional resourcing. Matthew and Garry still personally drive and manage the process, now ably supported by data analysts and account management functions.
