UK Logistics M&A Index 2021

September 2021

Carter Backer Winter LLP and Logistics UK have released the second annual M&A report for the UK logistics sector, following its launch last year.

In conjunction with the leading independent research firm, Analytiqa, the annual survey of companies’ expectations for mergers & acquisitions (“M&A”) activity in the logistics sector over the next twelve months was undertaken.

The results draw on the insights of senior executives within logistics companies in the UK to provide a view on expected trends in M&A, including valuations, and to put this in current context, touch upon some of the most important issues currently facing businesses in the sector.

The results have been extremely encouraging, given the UK economy continues to be impacted by Covid-19 and Brexit. They reflect a logistics industry that has largely weathered the storm of the last 18 months successfully, is increasingly confident and has a growing appetite for M&A as a strategic priority.
