celebrate the incredible progress we’ve made. This year, we set a clear focus on bringing new customers into Davies Turner Logistics, given that many of our sites were seeing empty space towards the end of 2024. And what a success it has been. The exceptional success of our sales efforts during 2025 has kept the operations team incredibly busy across all our sites, as they work hard to bring onboard all our new customers. These include Vegware, Hornby Hobbies, Commercial Carpet Tiles, Toshiba, Nimbus homeware, All Pet Solutions, Genpower, Securitas and Scheppach UK. Attracting this additional business is a testament to the trust and confidence that new customers have in the services we provide.

Key achievements Highlights of the work undertaken for these two clients were the project management of complex requirements. The team expertly handled the challenging requirements of both accounts, coordinating efforts across multiple departments to ensure a seamless launch. The team also oversaw the development and implementation of the significant infrastructure needed to support both Hornby and Vegware. At the same time the team quickly mastered new processes for picking and packing, implementing them efficiently and effectively. Meanwhile a significant investment in training ensured that over 100 new staff members were fully equipped to meet the standards required for these accounts.

Remarkable team effort: Celebrating dedication The Atherstone Operations Team has delivered an outstanding performance this year, successfully managing the onboarding of two of Davies Turner Logistics’ largest accounts simultaneously.
