UK Transport Awards 2021

39 | Transport Awards 2021 Based in the North East, Logico NE Ltd is a leading Transport Compliance and Management Specialist dedicated to creating bespoke solutions that strengthen transport operations and protect licencing of transport operators. Logico NE Ltd is a team of expert consultants specialising in Transport Compliance and Management, that is dedicated to working alongside transport managers and businessowners to create bespoke compliance and management solutions that strengthen their operations and ensure their licences are well protected. Fully qualified in transport compliance, HR and Law, Logico’s team of approved DVSA Auditors are on hand to ensure adherence to transport operator licences are being upheld, so that Logico’s clients can save time, money and energy that is better spent developing their own business success. Founded by Managing Director Lisa Fleming, Logico’s purpose was to fill a gap in the market, utilising Lisa’s degree qualification in Law to provide services that supported transport operations in maintaining compliance, thereby protecting transport managers from malpractice and making the roads a safer place for all. In the short time since Logico began trading in January 2019, the firm has built up a clientele that spans from one truck on an owner driver basis to a fleet of trucks that are dispersed nationally and internationally. Clients include NE Business Solutions, GES Recycling Limited, and B.M. Stafford, who all rely on Logico for high standards of management compliance. As DVSA Auditors that have achieved ISO9001 accreditation and are BSI accredited, the Logico team is well equipped to assess and report on the conformance of a business, either to demonstrate best practice to the Traffic Commissioner, or to identify areas for improvement before actioning effective and efficient solutions. Logico’s paperless systems can support clients in maintenance, digital defect checking, accident reporting, and management of all documents and tachograph data, insights from which can be implemented into services in transport auditing, operator licence applications and checks, risk assessment management, HR support, training, a full range of bespoke transport solutions and services, and much more besides. Logico is Transport Consultancy Business of the Year 2021 also able to support operators looking to join the DVSA’s Earned Recognition Program, providing a comprehensive audit undertaken by competent and qualified auditors who work alongside operators to successfully meet KPI requirements. The extensive capabilities and expertise proffered by Logico in some significant contracts with large businesses across the UK today are impressive, given the short period in which the firm has been operating. It is testament to their expert knowledge, skills and experience, that Lisa and her team of only ten have achieved such high standards of accreditation and been able to run national contracts with companies more than twice their size. Lisa takes great pride in the efficiency and qualifications of her team, which have enabled rapid success that has led to many exciting opportunities for the company. Most recently, Logico has been asked to form a partnership with a law firm and with one of the largest insurance companies in the world, so that the firm will be able to offer joint ventures to clients. As a result, Logico will be able provide a more tailored package that includes HR services and a 10% discount on insurance policies specific to the transport sector. This exciting venture comes at a time when Lisa is already making plans for expansion, both nationally and internationally. Working with large multinational companies has opened up a world of opportunities that Logico is seizing with both hands as it makes plans to enter the Irish markets in the coming year, and attend the World Trade Show in Dubai in the firm’s first step towards international expansion. As the leading specialists in transport compliance of the North East and the UK, these plans for expansion look promising. However, like the plans of so many businesses across the UK, the Covid-19 crisis has added additional challenge to moving beyond the UK. Despite this, Logico has remained active throughout the pandemic, working closely with clients to ensure they continue to adhere to compliance and protect their licences. The firm has even offered reduced prices for its services, doing all it can to keep the UK Transport sector moving forwards throughout the pandemic. At the same time, Logico has been maintaining its own COVID compliance so that it could continue to focus on expanding the business during the lockdowns. The business is now a CILT approved training centre for Transport Manager CPC training and Transport Manager Refresher training so as to enhance its service offering in the UK, and is also in conversation with the Department for International Trade to begin operating abroad too. Logico has also partnered with a vehicle telematics and transport planning company, as well as taking on a new Transport Compliance Manager, thereby expanding its services and reach even further. The solid foundation on which Logico has been built provides the perfect launchpad for international expansion, all the while maintaining its reputation for inimitable and conscientious services in the North East of the UK. Logico continues to establish itself as a trusted expert to transport operators and businessowners, dedicated to protecting them, their businesses, and drivers of the UK and abroad.
