Family-run logistics company Grays Transport shares an insight into the business as it prepares to park up at the January Furniture Show next month.
With a fleet of over 60 vehicles and trailers, from Luton Vans to 18T Trucks and 44T Arctics, all operating from its 101,000sqft Ripley-based warehouse, Grays Transport can cater to any transportation need.
The business specialises in moving furniture from manufacturers to retailers, ensuring smooth and timely deliveries across the country. Firmly behind the wheel is husband-and-wife team, Chris and Jennifer Evans, whose family values fuel every mile of each journey. It’s this ethos that has seen the company go from strength-to-strength.
“Our family-run values infuse care into every step of the journey,” says Jennifer, MD at Grays Transport. “We take pride in delivering not just furniture, but opportunities for businesses to thrive. We’re more than just logistics too; we’re navigators of seamless connections, forging the vital link between you and your customers.
“We understand the heartbeat of being a specialist in the transport industry and the pivotal role we play in ensuring your furniture creations reach their retail destinations effortlessly.”
Being located near key transportation routes is one major advantage, enabling Grays to offer quick and cost-effective deliveries across the nation, while its advanced technology also puts the business in the fast lane.
“Our advanced delivery management and barcoding systems ensures accuracy,” added Chris, CEO at Grays. “Our PDA network makes loading and delivery smooth, while our unique barcoding system provides unmatched traceability.
“Customers can track a products journey in real-time too, which provides live visibility and complete confidence in the supply chain through their individual online portal.”
Following a successful show at the recent Autumn Furniture Show, which also saw Grays Transport appointed as Minerva’s chosen delivery partner, the business has changed lanes to focus on the January Furniture Show next month.
“Our business has evolved with the industry,” Jennifer said. “We understand that today’s customers want more than just transport. We’re excited to exhibit at the January show, where customers new and current can find us in Hall 5, Stand: 5-A28.
“We know our customers want visibility, partnership, and peace of mind, and that’s exactly what we deliver. We look forward to welcoming you at JFS26.”
