Transport & Distribution Industry
Avid Partners have worked with a number of transport and distribution organisations over the years and have assisted with everything from expansion strategies to business turnaround programmes. Avid Partners works with clients in many sectors and proactively help them become more efficient. Specific programmes have included: streamlining businesses for increased profitability, identifying avenues for growth and turnaround strategies for companies being squeezed from an operational perspective. Some sub sectors of the transportation and distribution industry are in expansion mode (air, ferry, private sector coach) while many others remain under pressure (haulage, rail, taxi industry).
The Transport and Distribution sector incorporates a range of company types including logistics, supply chain management, haulage and transportation. The industry is very diverse and made up of a large number of small family run companies as well a small number of very large organisations, usually government and listed companies.

I met Avid Partners through a local business networking group. We had been using the same accountants for years and found that in these harsh economic times that we were not getting good enough value or service. We were very impressed by the company's professionalism and enthusiasm and genuine interest in helping us get the most out of our business. As a result we are now clients of Avid Partners and are thrilled with our decision.
