Trusted for generations.
Excellence in logistics since 1934.

Keeping our customers happy has been at the heart of our business as long as Welch’s has been on the road.

Based in Cambridgeshire with UK-wide reach, we pride ourselves on providing a robust, flexible and trusted logistics service, tailored carefully to our customers’ needs.
‘Our current drive is to continually improve how we communicate and collaborate with our customers – we see ourselves as supply chain consultants. By asking the right questions and listening to the answers, we look to sharpen efficiency and save on costs. The goal is transparency and the journey relies on the smart management of information.’
Chris Welch, Managing Director
1949 - Foden DG615

Supporting UK supply chains with scale, service and social value

Welch Group brings together seven integrated services – Transport, Pallet Distribution, Warehousing & Fulfilment, Hazardous Goods, Specialist Movements, Crane Hire, and our own Truck & Van Centre – giving customers a single trusted partner rather than a number of contractors. This breadth of capability is rare for an SME operator, and is central to our longstanding customer relationships.

Our 2024 rebrand united our services under a single Group identity, and since then our consultative account management model has helped customers grow volumes, launch new products and reduce operational risk.

We’ve supported clients such as eTex Group and Ibstock/Supreme Concrete to make practical differences daily – shorter lead times, higher volumes, less friction.

Underpinning all our activities is our five-pillar ESG strategy, formalised in June 2025, which shapes the strategic, operational and investment decisions we make every day – from decarbonising our fleet to investing in our people and communities.

How it feels to work with the Welch Group

‘Ardex UK has a long and successful history of working with Welch’s Transport. The relationship extends over ten years with Jim Welch originally at the helm. During that time both Welch’s and Ardex have flourished, and the business relationship has become a true partnership.
Ardex looks forward to the next ten years of the partnership.’
