Leading Yorkshire Temperature Controlled Transport Company The Latest Acquisition by Viso Logistics

LONDON, UK. April 29th, 2024 - A Really Cool Company (ARCC) - the temperature controlled transportation experts - are the latest specialist courier business to be acquired by Viso Logistics.

Based out of Wetherby, Yorkshire and with over 15 years of industry experience, A Really Cool Company has a loyal customer base and known reputation for a high level of specialist logistics knowledge and customer service. ARCC predominantly supports clients from the food and beverage sector with frozen, chilled and ambient transportation. They also work with various other businesses who ship consignments such as samples and pharmaceuticals that require temperature-controlled logistics across the UK and throughout Europe. 

This specialist focus and skill set makes ARCC a perfect fit for the Viso Logistics network. 

In 2021, Viso Logistics kicked off their ambitious plan to build an independent, specialised logistics network across the UK. Jag Express, a leading specialist courier in Cambridge, was the first company to join the network.

Businesses that join the Viso Logistics network still operate as an independent entity and continue to be managed locally. The benefits of the partnership include harnessing best-practice processes to improve operational efficiency and leveraging technology investments. 

Andrew Wood, Managing Director of A Really Cool Company said: “The ARCC team are very excited about this next step in the evolution of our business. A partnership with Viso Logistics gives us the best of both worlds - we retain our company values, team and everything that makes us unique, but we also get to leverage off some excellent knowledge both inside and out of the logistics sector.

“Ultimately, this means that our loyal customers continue to get the same care and attention they have always had. What’s great is that they will now have some extras to help elevate their experience with us, such as access to an expanded network.”

Alexi Jones, Managing Partner at Viso Logistics, added that they were “delighted” to have a business the caliber of ARCC joining the ranks of Viso Logistics. 

He said: “Our strategy is to acquire long-established, successful specialist logistics companies that have expertise in specific sectors. To work with a business like ARCC that is so highly regarded in the food and beverage and pharmaceutical sectors, and complimentary to our existing network, makes them a perfect fit for Viso Logistics. 

"The ARCC team are passionate about the service they provide and are real experts in their field. We have been impressed with their depth of industry knowledge and committed team, and know that their service will be one that our expanding customer base will benefit from.

“The addition of ARCC expands our Group’s growing footprint. Together with Jag Express in Cambridge, we now have a North-South axis which expands the scope of work we can undertake for our combined client base.”
