OUR STORY
Starting in 2017 our first customers were Arla Foods & ATL. Now in 2023 and working through the pandemic we have enjoyed partnerships with Arla Foods Outbound & Inbound, Muller Milk & Ingredients, Alliance Healthcare, Gist, & Heydon Chilled. ALS Specialise in temperature controlled transport with the latest fleet ensuring its impact on the road and our planet is managed & monitored.
ALS was founded on a team with over 75 years of experience within the transport industry. Our passion was to be effective, sustainable, and an alternative to large businesses delivering tailored, cost effective, & on time deliveries around the United Kingdom. We started off at the Aylesbury Dairy site, but after growing substantially, outperforming our competition, & taking on more clients we moved to a dedicated Operating Centre in Woodham giving us the ability to take on more opportunities and customers away from the fresh milk scope the UK.
Many more relationships were forged from Woodham including Alliance Healthcare, Muller Milk & Ingredients, DHL, Amazon, & Gist.
New staff were introduced to the ALS Team in early 2022 to further strengthen our team
ALS in 2023, now very much established in our Operating Centre in Woodham, continued to push forwards with new business coming out of the pandemic and IR35 rule changes. ALS successfully secured our existing contracts with all clients, and grew within the Arla Foods business based on customer service levels, and ad-hoc ability to react with the customer. Our pallet network has since doubled in size, proving that small to medium size businesses are just, if not more effective than large hauliers.
OUR VISION FOR 2025
