Freight & logistics

The freight and logistics industry is ever changing. It interacts with every one of us every single day. The dynamic nature of the industry responding to both changing demand and technological advances within an evolving political landscape makes the challenges complex and solutions exciting. There are huge opportunities to enable economic success and growth through the careful design and management of freight, but with an increasingly global market and growing urban constraints knowing how to maximise these is not always obvious.

Working at micro and macro scales, from individual businesses to the wider international industry, we offer practical solutions and well-founded advice with our deep understanding of the industry and how disruptive technology is likely to impact in the future and how to adapt to this. Our deep knowledge of the demand and how this is likely to move is important to make robust predictions, thereby informing policy, transactional finance and network design as a result. We can navigate through the complexities of the industry to provide robust, resilient and cutting-edge advice.

We help a range of clients who need to understand future demand, the external factors that may influence this and how they should react either through policy, own operations or financial decision-making. These include businesses, financial institutions, business improvement districts, policy makers and operators.

How we can help you

We can help with investment opportunities, acquisitions, evidence-based policy making, and those seeking to better understand business models whilst also navigating clients through policy and the planning process to ensure operational success whilst minimising resources. Our core offer includes:

  • Delivery and servicing planning
  • Business consulting
  • Transport planning
  • Development planning
  • Feasibility studies
  • Strategy and policy
  • Air quality advice
