Lenham Storage Company increased revenues by 10% in “a solid trading year” that saw it win new business and renew several long-term contracts.
Turnover increased to £58.9m in the year ending 31 August 2025 from £56.6m the year before.
Pre-tax profit took a hit, falling from £1.5m in 2024 to £889,000 last year but the warehouse and storage company said it remained well-funded and robust.
“Market conditions have been challenging with significant and unforeseen cost pressures coming out of the November 2024 budget,” the haulier said.
“Our employees are intrinsic to the success and culture of our family business.
“As a responsible employer, heavy investment again has been made in wages, something the company always believes important but especially so during the current financial climate.
“The company were proud during the year to maintain BRCGS AA+ accreditation following an unannounced multi-day audit for our sites at Aylesford, Lenham and Sittingbourne.”
Lenham added that a significant number of its fleet was replaced during the year, with investments in both new technology and more environmentally friendly vehicles and equipment.
In 2024 it took on two Volvo FM Electric 4x2 tractor units and said it had been impressed with their battery life and happy with their range.
“The gas and electric-powered vehicles on the fleet have largely shown positive results with further electric lorries on order,” it said.
