Transport and Logistics
The Ferrier Hodgson Transport and Logistics team have undertaken assignments across the full spectrum of sectors within the transport and logistics industry, acting on behalf of lenders, business owners and boards of directors.
We understand that operators within each sector of the industry face unique challenges, with vastly differing revenue and cost drivers, performance measurement tools and profitability expectations for operators in road, rail, sea and air freight, 3PL (third party logistics) and passenger transport.
Even within a particular market segment, the size and scale of an operation, whether it occupies a niche, its funding model, geographical location, the characteristics of its assets, equipment and workforce mean that a “one size fits all” approach doesn’t work.
Ferrier Hodgson has an experienced national Transport and Logistics team with the skills and resources to develop and implement practical solutions to the challenges facing the industry and individual operators.
The Ferrier Hodgson Transport and Logistics team have undertaken a wide range of assignments, including:
- Acquisition and divestment advisory.
- Formulation and implementation of strategic and succession plans.
- Restructuring and/or divestment of underperforming operations.
- Performance measurement, including benchmarking against industry.
- Process improvement and project management.
- Working capital reviews and profit improvement strategies.
- Supply chain due diligence.
- Turnaround management and management consulting.
- Forensic IT and accounting.
- Formal insolvency services.
With an international reach via Ferrier Hodgson offices throughout Asia and affiliated offices in Europe and North America, we are also well placed to advise on expansion plans into new markets.
Members of the Ferrier Hodgson Transport and Logistics team contribute to industry publications and are regularly invited to address industry seminars and conferences.
