The Construction industry underpins everything from housing and infrastructure to landscaping and public spaces. But with growing pressure on cost control, sustainability, and service performance, supply chains across the sector are becoming increasingly complex to manage.
At Denholm Good Logistics, we partner with manufacturers, importers, and distributors to simplify operations, strengthen visibility, and deliver logistics strategies that are as resilient as they are efficient.
The Challenge: Fragmentation, Rising Costs, and Limited Visibility
Many Construction businesses operate global supply chains that rely on multiple logistics providers, scattered warehouse networks, and legacy systems. While this structure often evolves over time, it can create serious challenges, including:
- Escalating demurrage and detention costs due to poor container coordination
- Limited shipment visibility, making planning and forecasting difficult
- Stock damage and write-offs linked to inaccurate inventory data
- Disjointed warehouse networks driving up handling and storage costs
- Compliance risks and customs delays affecting delivery reliability
With customer expectations rising and operational costs climbing, achieving end-to-end control is now essential for sustainable growth.
The Solution: Centralised, Connected, and Controlled
At Denholm Good Logistics, we help businesses move away from fragmented logistics models and toward a unified, visibility-led approach. Our work with leading UK Construction manufacturers and distributors such as Marshalls shows how integration, digital tools, and port-centric warehousing can transform performance and unlock measurable results.
- One Partner, One Platform
By consolidating freight forwarding, warehousing, and customs services under one partner, we remove duplication and reduce complexity. Seamless integration between our Connect platform and ERP systems such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 enables real-time visibility, automated updates, and proactive management of every shipment.
- Port-Centric Warehousing for Greater Efficiency
Our strategically located facilities in Felixstowe and Liverpool provides a central hub for import management—eliminating the inefficiencies of multiple inland warehouses. This model streamlines container flows, reduces inland transport costs, and improves replenishment speeds across the UK network.
- Operational and Financial Gains
From daily cycle counts that boost stock accuracy to smarter routing and container planning, our approach helps businesses achieve tangible results:
• Up to 99% reduction in demurrage costs
• Significant savings per shipment through optimised trade lanes
• Hundreds of thousands of pounds saved through reduced stock write-offs
• Lower handling costs and improved storage utilisation
The Result: A Resilient, Award-Recognised Supply Chain
Our work in the Construction industry has not only delivered measurable value—it’s also gained national recognition.
Denholm Good Logistics has been shortlisted for both the Customer Service Award and the Warehouse Initiative Award at the 2025 Supply Chain Excellence Awards, recognising the strength of our partnership approach and our commitment to delivering real operational impact.
