Transport, Distribution & Logistics

Scrutton Bland is one of the market leaders in our territory for advising businesses engaged in:

• Container transport;
• Distribution of palletised goods;
• Bulk haulage of grain, sugar beet and other commodities;
• Warehousing

Such businesses are run on fine margins; management information is essential. It needs to be accurate and produced very rapidly.

We help our clients with:

• The production of detailed monthly management accounts;
• The inclusion of appropriate data such as costs on a pence per mile basis;
• The preparation of forecasts;
• Detailed variance analysis and commentaries, comparing actual and forecast revenues and costs.

Scrutton Bland is active in corporate finance in the sector and have advised on a significant number of trade sales and management buyouts.  We also provide corporate and personal tax advice to our clients.

Our audit services recognise that many such businesses are highly geared: we provide data on the levels of interest cover, gearing and returns on capital. This helps our clients to monitor the financial health of their business.
