X2’s 4PL solution was an excellent fit for our needs, providing the flexibility and scalability of a multi haulier solution without the complexities of managing multiple supplier relationships. This makes our life simpler by providing a reliable service, reducing costs and overheads and ultimately, giving us a competitive advantage

With a wide range of vehicle types available within their extensive haulier pool, X2 where able to flex to our seasonal demands, providing our supply chain with stability through challenging times
Due to substantial growth within our business, we began a process to source extra support for a distribution requirement. X2 where already making regular visits to our sites, through one of our major suppliers, which made sense to engage with them.

X2 now play a major part in our distribution, plus we really enjoy working with them.
