LOGISTICS
OCTOBER | SECTOR FOCUS
Logistics is the hidden
side of events. Access
unveils some of the unsung
sector’s movements
INSTANT LOGIC
Ucargo LLP has been active
within the market for seven
years and with over 50 years’
experience under our belt we
have observed many changes,
some more substantial than
others. The most consistent
change with long term effects is
the advancements of technology
and moving into a modern
world has had both positive and
negative results.
One of the biggest things
technology has given the
industry is to allow customers
to have more control over their
cargo. Quotes can be obtained
online instantly, via an app or
online portal, tracking facilities
are minimising delays in
deliveries and giving real-time
information. In this technology
driven world we expect instant
results for as low cost as possible
but where does this leave us
when things go wrong?
When things go wrong in
logistics the butterfly effect is
often drastic and speaking to a
knowledgeable efficient person
will trump an instant reply from
a smart technology system
every time. This is what Ucargo
offers. 24/7 experienced team
members are on hand when and
where you need them to be to
ensure your cargo is well looked
after and delivered on time.
Being a small family run
business allows Ucargo to adapt
and respond to the changes
within the market place
immediately. The future of our
business is one where flexibility
and the ability to predict market
trends will allow us to grow.

Elizabeth Line, which
