But Brexit is just one part of a wider story. As trade routes shift,
capacity tightens, and customer expectations increase, businesses are under pressure to build fl exibility into their logistics strategy. T at’s where integration becomes a real diff erentiator - not just a buzzword. “Integration doesn’t just mean we can move goods effi ciently,”
said Ian. “It means we can shift volumes between road, air and sea when disruptions hit. It means we can use our warehousing network to buff er uncertainty. And it means we can help customers reconfi gure their supply chains at speed to meet whatever the market demands next.” T is adaptability is particularly valuable for companies that export
to multiple markets or operate across several product categories. By combining transport and warehousing with customs and visibility tools, Dachser enables clients to adjust stock positions, reroute shipments, or ramp up supply to meet sudden spikes in demand. At the heart of Dachser’s model is its own-offi ce European
network, which allows the company to maintain tight control over operations, provide real-time updates, and ensure service consistency. Its warehousing sites - both in the UK and across Europe - are designed to work seamlessly with its transport infrastructure, offering value-added services such as picking, packing and inventory management. In the UK, Dachser has recently expanded its capabilities with the addition of a new 112,000 square foot contract logistics facility in Northampton. T is investment refl ects the company’s ongoing commitment to scaling its operations to meet customer demand - while maintaining the agility that integrated logistics requires. And while the logistics sector as a whole is grappling with
challenges like decarbonisation, talent shortages and digital transformation, Dachser is actively investing in each of these areas. Whether through low-emission transport pilots, workforce development, or enhanced digital platforms, the company is preparing itself - and its customers - for the future of logistics.

For businesses seeking not just a supplier but a strategic logistics
partner, this integrated approach off ers more than operational effi ciency - it off ers peace of mind. With the volatility of today’s global trade environment, the ability to pivot quickly, stay visible, and maintain service continuity has become a must-have. “T e days of fi xed, rigid supply chains are over,” added Ian.
“What companies need now is a dynamic logistics partner - one that’s as interconnected and adaptable as the world they’re doing business in.” In a landscape defi ned by disruption, integration may just be
the most reliable path forward. And for UK companies navigating the crosswinds of international trade, it’s a model that’s no longer optional - it’s essential.
