Davies Turner soups up car-maker’s supply chain

[ October 4, 2024   //   ]

High-end automotive firm Great British Sports Cars says that its continuing logistics partnership with forwarder Davies Turner is allowing it expand into global markets.  
Davies Turner recently handled the shipment of two of its Zero vehicles from the UK to the US.
The Zero is a beefed-up version of Colin Chapman’s Lotus Seven/Caterham. The two cars shipped were in kit form and had to be carefully packed in bespoke, to ensure they were in perfect condition on delivery and ready for final assembly.
Since their first collaboration in 2021, Davies Turner has managed FCL and LCL shipments mainly to North America and also expedites the urgent shipment of parts and spares by air.
Davies Turner sales executive Derek Shepley said: “Working with GBS has been a remarkable journey. Its dedication to craftsmanship and innovation in the automotive industry is inspiring. We are proud to support its expansion into the North American and other global markets and look forward to continuing our partnership as its business grows.
“GBS knows that no matter where its customers are, we can ship their car or kit via a logistics service that is tailored to meet their local regulations.”
Director of Great British Sports Cars, Richard Hall, added: “As GBS continues to expand, it is looking at new destination opportunities globally. The supply chain management expertise of Davies Turner, and its robust international logistics network supports our efforts to meet increasing international demand for our company’s sports cars.”
