Shore winner

[ December 16, 2011   //   Chris ]

One example of a successful female-owned enterprise in the freight industry is Suffolk based Shore Logistics, founded by Natalie Caraccio, set up earlier in 2011. Working for Bawdsey Haulage and then Fowler Welch before being made redundant, Natalie identified an opportunity to continue to service a dry freight contract and manage the logistics supply chain, all of whom she had formed strong relationships with over the previous seven years.

Defying a tough marketplace in a male dominated sector, the start-up haulier has put her growing success down to goodwill, the best drivers the industry has to offer and her transport management system, Hosted Tops, provided by Fargo Systems.
