Premier Logistics increased turnover by 7.4% to £13.1m last year, driven largely by revenues in its transport work.
The company said it had demonstrated resilient growth in the year ending 31 October 2025 and it had controlled key expenses to generate a pre-tax profit of £205,000.
This was less than 2024’s £352,000, but it said the decrease in profit percentage was as a result of investment in its fleet and infrastructure.
It invested £4.6m in fixed assets during the year and Premier Logistics added that its commitment to fleet renewal had enabled it to manage average mpg and reduce maintenance costs.
“We have consistently received positive feedback from our customers for our quality of service, which remains a key differentiator in our competitive market,” the company said in a review of its business.
Turnover in its transport division increased to £12m, compared to £10.7m the year before. Warehouse revenue reduced to £1.1m (£1.5m).
It cited fuel costs and HGV driver availability as two ongoing challenges and that almost £1.5m was spent on diesel in 2025, compared to £1.3m in 2024: “Volatility in fuel prices could impact profitability if increases cannot be passed to customers.
“To mitigate this risk the company incorporates appropriate fuel scale surcharges into its contracts.”
Premier Logistics added: “We continue seeking opportunities for growth and development, with a particular focus on expanding out warehouse operations which showed strong potential this year.”
In December 2025, Premier acquired WT Transport in a move MD Lee Christopher said secured the longevity of both businesses.
