COMMUNITY-MINDED HAULAGE COMPANY CELEBRATES EXPANSION
community-minded haulage company is celebrating expanding its business by kicking off a sponsorship deal with its local Football League club. Lincolnshire-based Hooper Haulage Ltd has agreed a two-year sponsorship deal with Lincoln City FC which
will see its branding and logos adorn the Imps’ training wear. It comes at a time when the family-run business, which is a
shareholder member of the Wolverhampton-based Pallet-Track network, is also expanding its team due to an increase in demand for its pallet network and haulage services. Managing Director Sam Hooper said: “We started out in 2019
with just one member of staff, and now we’re operating with 26 team members, 18 vehicles and more than 50,000 sq. ft of warehousing space. “Over the last year we have also replaced our double decker
fleet, and over the coming months will be adding a new trailer and two tractor units to ensure we continue offering the highest level of service. One of the ways Hooper
Haulage is collaborating with the community is its sponsorship deal with Lincoln City FC, with training wear available to purchase with the company’s branding. Its signage will also be around the Sincil Bank stadium where the team plays.

STRONG CUSTOMER DEMAND ENABLES DEXORY TO SECURE $165M IN FUNDING, ACCELERATING GLOBAL EXPANSION AND AI-POWERED CAPABILITIES
exory, this month, announced it has raised $165 million. This milestone reflects the value customers derive from the solution, resulting in strong
growth since the company’s Series B in 2024. Eurazeo, through its Growth team, led the $100M Series C round, with participation from LTS Growth and Endeavor Catalyst, alongside existing investors DTCP, Atomico, Lakestar, Elaia, Latitude Ventures, Wave-X and others. In addition, Bootstrap Europe expanded the existing growth debt facility.
Since its Series B, Dexory has
expanded the reach of its AI-enabled data-intelligence platform, DexoryView, across Europe, North America, and APAC and established its North American headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee. This global footprint enables the company’s autonomous robots to capture and deliver the largest pool of live warehouse data and insights, driving significant improvements in efficiency, visibility and scalability for its customers. Today, the platform is used by logistics leaders such as GXO, Maersk and DHL; manufacturers including Stellantis and GE Appliances; and by customers across pharmaceuticals, retail and eCommerce. The new funding will accelerate
Dexory’s product roadmap and expand access to its technology, removing key bottlenecks in warehouse transformation. In a market often stuck in pilots and overpromises, Dexory delivers immediate value. Customers gain live visibility and dependable, scalable insights without long lead times or operational disruption. “This new round allows us to bring
forward transformational capabilities that our customers are asking for,” said Andrei
Danescu, CEO and Co-Founder of Dexory. “By combining full-stack engineering with zero customer complexity, we are building advanced agentic systems powered by the industry’s richest set of real-world logistics data. This will help warehouses and supply chains shift from systems of record to true systems of action.” As the industry looks for partners
who can deliver innovative and reliable systems, this funding will enable Dexory to help warehouses self-optimise, anticipate challenges and coordinate tasks seamlessly between people, machinery and systems. It will also support new approaches to deploying large-scale distributed intelligence for legacy industries, opening the door to the next generation of resilient and adaptive supply chains. Dexory will also strengthen its commercial teams and expand across multiple international markets as well as serving new sectors. This growth is underpinned by intelligence grounded in real operational data, including more than half a billion warehouse location scans.
