Two of our team are speaking in Birmingham tomorrow.

Chris is hosting a panel for Qargo and Clarus. Jamie Sands, our Head of Solutions, is on it alongside Connor from RTS, David Shawcross from Qargo and Tim from Clarus.

Topic is integration: what actually changes when transport and warehouse systems work as one operation, not two that share data.

We've been through it at Welch's. The session covers what operations looked like before, what shifted afterwards, and where AI is doing useful work versus where it's still hype.
Live demo, customer panel, breakfast on arrival.

21st May, 9:30am to 1pm at Eighteen, 103 Colmore Row, Birmingham.

⚽ Ardex make it two from two — 3-2 winners in Sunday's rematch!

A brilliant afternoon on the pitch with our friends and valued customer Ardex After taking the first fixture, they came back and did it again — full credit, they've earned the bragging rights (for now 👀).

Special mention to the mixed teams of girls and boys who pulled on a shirt for both sides — fantastic to see everyone getting stuck in together. And to the supporters who came down to cheer the teams on, thank you. The atmosphere on the touchline made the day.

Off the pitch we'll keep moving their pallets. On the pitch? The lads and lasses have got some work to do…

*Stakes not actually bigger. Still just bragging rights. Still matters though.

What a weekend at Truckfest Lincoln! 🚛✨

A massive thank you to our drivers who gave up their own time to bring six of our trucks down for the show. The fleet looked absolutely spotless, a real credit to the pride and care our team puts in every single day.

Since 1934, four generations of the Welch family have built this business on the back of brilliant people, and seeing our drivers swap stories with the public, show off their cabs, and represent us so well is something that never gets old.

To everyone who stopped by for a chat, thank you. And to our drivers, you absolutely smashed it. 👏

A real pleasure welcoming Ben Fletcher, CEO of Logistics UK, to our Duxford HQ last week!

MD Chris Welch gave Ben the full tour of the yard, the depot, the fleet, and the team behind it all. He even got a sneak peek of our brand new DAF electric truck, the latest addition to our growing eHGV fleet ⚡

Lots of great conversation about where UK haulage is heading on decarbonisation, skills and infrastructure.

Thanks for making the trip, Ben — the door is always open 🤝

Specialist by name. Specialist by movements. 🚛
Our Specialist Movements team doesn't do "standard."
Abnormal loads, time-critical runs, high-value cargo, awkward sites — if it needs a proper plan and a proper team, it lands on their desk.
Four generations of know-how. The right kit. The right people. And a phone that's always answered.

Got a tricky move coming up? Drop us a message — we love a challenge.
