STEF Langdons saw revenues increase by nearly £12m last year, but it acknowledged the results were skewed by the addition of Long Lane Deliveries, which the group acquired in 2024.
Turnover at the temperature-controlled haulage specialist increased by 6.7% to £188m in the year ending 31 December 2025; although it also saw a 12.3% reduction in pre-tax profit to £7.9m (£9m) during the period.
Langdons said capacity utilisation of its transport remained strong and storage increased significantly.
It said that despite economic pressures, it believed the requirement for food logistics would be maintained: “To meet demand the company is continually reviewing its depot network facilities and site capacity.
“Food logistics customers want stable, reliable and affordable logistics solutions which we can provide with our service portfolio,” Langdons said.
“The company is constantly reviewing the fleet mix and continues to update where practically possible vehicles to the most environmentally advanced possible.”
In August 2025 the company acquired the warehouse trade at a site in Peterborough and it also took over Bellshill-based Long Lane Deliveries, which it said provided it with a platform for its growth plans.
“Direct comparatives to the prior year are distorted by the acquisitions during the year; however, the underlying trend was that of a small organic growth along with a slight decline in gross profit margins compared to 2024,” it added.
Langdons joined European temperature-controlled transport company STEF Group in 2022.
