Seeking UK logistics businesses open to a direct conversation

Actively looking for UK logistics operations businesses, road freight, warehousing, last-mile, or related, with £1M-£15M revenue and 15%+ margins. Ideally profitable, founder-led, and not yet in a formal sale process. I'm an operator with 25 years running large-scale logistics businesses and I'm building a buy-and-build platform. I prefer direct conversations with owners who are open to exploring options before engaging a broker. If you know of anything or anyone worth a conversation, I'd love to hear from you.

Robert, if you're doing any proprietary outbound, I'm including a sample search of road freight businesses in London here: https://app.dealdogs.ai/search?share=Lrp4Te9MwGCX6iW9aCdkOTViv8q8c4rP (note: desktop only). You could filter this based on your deal criteria, get owner contact info and run similar searches for across other logistics operations verticals and UK cities. I'd imagine some of the hubs like Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds (near you), etc. would also be interesting. Hope this helps and feel free to reach out with any questions!
