This year, A&D Logistics proudly marks a fantastic milestone – 30 years of service in the transport and logistics industry. Founded in January 1995 by Alan and Drew, what began as a humble operation with just one truck has grown into a thriving multi-service company, serving businesses and individuals across Scotland and beyond.
From its inception, A&D Logistics has been built on the core principles of hard work, reliability, and innovation. As we reflect on the past three decades, we are immensely proud of the journey we’ve undertaken, the milestones we’ve achieved, and the relationships we’ve built along the way.
Humble Beginnings to Multi-Service
In 1995, Alan and Drew launched A&D Logistics with a single truck and a vision to provide dependable transport services. Over the years, their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction saw the business flourish, expanding its fleet and capabilities to meet the evolving needs of its clients.
Today, A&D Logistics stands as a testament to their dedication, offering a comprehensive suite of services, including:
- Transport & Logistics: Supporting businesses with a diverse fleet equipped to handle everything from containers to oversized cargo and operating across the UK with a focus on safety and efficiency.
- Warehousing Facilities: Offering flexible solutions, including pallet racking, bulk storage, and secure external storage, to meet the dynamic needs of modern businesses.
- Commercial Workshop Services: Maintaining not just our own fleet but also offering expert servicing, repairs, and diagnostics for external clients, including a partnership with Renault Trucks.
- A&D Training Centre: Providing high quality, award winning training for logistics professionals, with courses ranging from ADR and CPC to forklift and driver training. Recognised as Transport News: Scotland’s Top Training Operator in 2024 and 2025.
- Self Storage Solutions: Supporting homeowners, tradespeople, and businesses with secure, flexible, and accessible storage options.

A Team Effort
None of this would have been possible without the incredible A&D team. Over the years, our employees have been the backbone of the business, bringing dedication, expertise, and a passion for delivering outstanding service. From drivers and warehouse staff to trainers and office teams, every member of the A&D family has played a vital role in our success.
The Road Ahead
As we celebrate this momentous milestone, we remain focused on the future. The logistics industry is constantly evolving, and we are committed to staying at the forefront of innovation, sustainability, and service excellence.
