Built in Essex.
Trusted across Europe.

We believe exceptional service should be the standard, not the exception. We’ve built a business, a fleet and a 180-strong team around that idea.

Our story

From five vehicles
to one of Britain’s most
trusted partners.

Peter Norman Ltd was founded in 2019 with just five vehicles and a vision to change the way freight moves. What began as a local, UK-based operation has grown, through strategic investment, customer-focused innovation and an unwavering commitment to service, into one of Britain’s most trusted logistics partners.

We’ve weathered economic challenges, adapted to the complexities of Brexit and emerged stronger as the logistics landscape has transformed. Today we serve more than 3,500 active customers, from innovative start-ups to FTSE 100 companies.

Logistics is about more than moving goods. It’s about enabling business growth, connecting communities and building the commercial bridges that drive prosperity. Whether you’re a manufacturer needing just-in-time deliveries, an e-commerce retailer requiring next-day distribution or an exporter navigating post-Brexit European markets, we deliver solutions that work.
