A Statement from Paul & Jackie - Blue Door Logistics Ltd
Today marks one of the most difficult days in our lives. As we announce that Blue Door Logistics Ltd is entering administration, bringing to an end over 35 years of serving our community.
This is not a decision that has been taken lightly. Over the past 18 months, we have personally invested significant amounts of our own money into the business in an attempt to keep it trading, protect jobs and continue serving our loyal customers. We did everything we possibly could, but despite our efforts, we have reached a point where the business is no longer financially sustainable.
The transport industry has changed dramatically, rising operating costs have placed enormous pressure on businesses like ours, the growth of low-cost national platforms has fundamentally changed the market place, often driving down price levels that local operators simply cannot compete with. At the same time there has been a continued decline in the number of new proffesional drivers entering the industry, making recruitment increasingly difficult.
We also believe that inconsistent standards across the sector have created an uneven playing field, where businesses investing heavily in Compliance, safety and quality have found it difficult to compete. For companies that have always tried doing things properly, these challenges have become overwhelming.
While today’s news is deeply personal to our family, it is also a sad day for our local community, Blue Door Logistics Ltd has been more than just a business, it has been a place of employment, friendship and support for countless people over the past three and a half decades.
To every member of staff, past and present, thank you. Your loyalty, dedication and hard work have been the foundation of everything we achieved. We are incredibly proud of what we built together, and we will never forget the commitment you have shown us through both the good times and the difficult ones.
To our customers, many of whom have been with us for decades, thank you for placing your trust in us. Your loyalty has meant more than words can express, and we are sincerely grateful for every journey you entrusted.
Although this chapter ends with great sadness, we remain immensely proud of the legacy Blue Door Logistics Ltd leaves behind, for over 35 years we have served our community with integrity, professionalism and care, and those values will always remain.
Finally we would like to thank everyone who has supported us throughout this journey, whilst today is incredibly painful, we take comfort knowing that we have done everything we could to keep Blue Door Logistics going, sadly, some circumstances become impossible to overcome, no matter how much determination or personal sacrifice is made.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of this community for more than 35 years.
