Exact Logistics Extends Offering by Joining Fortec Distribution Network

RUGBY-BASED EXACT LOGISTICS has joined Watford Gap based Fortec Distribution Network to further extend its offering and support its next phase of growth.

Exact Logistics Extends Offering by Joining Fortec Distribution Network

Co-owners and joint Managing Directors Adam and Karen Shuter took the decision to join Fortec as it sees the partnership will help to reinforce its market-leading position and further secure its reputation for delivering a best-in-class service.

The company will be covering Rugby and surrounding Warwickshire postcode areas and will have the ability to offer local companies collections and deliveries throughout the UK or for anywhere in Europe.

Formed in 2009, Exact Logistics has, over the past nine years, enjoyed continuous growth through specialising in the collection and delivery of freight between the UK and Germany.

Initially starting with a team of three, the company now has 14 employees – a figure which is set to increase as the company continues to grow.

Before setting up the business with Karen, Adam had previously worked in the logistics industry for more than 30 years.

In that time, he had built a wealth of contacts in international logistics which proved to be the catalyst for Exact Logistics’ focus on Germany.  It is a niche offering and one which has paid dividends. Indeed, the company today has a wide portfolio of customers in Germany including a children’s playground manufacturer and automotive parts provider for which Exact Logistics delivers in the UK.

An established national pallet network with more than 80 members, Fortec is able to provide collection and delivery services throughout both the UK and Europe, and with its customer-centric approach, Karen said the company seemed ideal to work in partnership with.

As Chair of the Rugby branch of the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce Karen said she saw the area as having the potential for growth and wherever possible she and Adam were keen to support local businesses.

The Fortec hub – recently the subject of a £3 million expansion which now means the network is the only one in the UK to bring both domestic and international freight under one roof – was another key selling point, as was Fortec’s close proximity to Exact Logistics – just 15 minutes along the A5 – allowing for later cut-off times.

And its flexibility – Fortec will move anything from one pallet to a full load – was in keeping with Exact Logistics’ own approach.

Karen said: “As our company continues to grow, and as our customers’ needs continue to grow, being part of a pallet network is becoming ever more crucial.

“Although we have been a member of a network before, both Fortec and its members nationwide impressed us with their common goal of delivering the best possible service to customers – an ethos we practise within our own company daily.

“We are delighted to join Fortec as we enter into an exciting new chapter.”
