In our ever-changing, fast-paced world we understand the fundamental need for intelligent logistics that deliver certainty and value, every time. Our shared experience of working at the heart of this sector over many years means you can trust us with your challenges. We seek to partner from bespoke planning to perfect delivery on time, in full, every time.
All our clients are unique. All their needs differ. No plan fits all, thatʼs why we believe close partnering and collaboration is everything. Weʼd love to discover how we can help deliver on your logistics challenge.
Our mission is simple. We thrive on turning logistics challenges into opportunities to generate tangible value for our supply chain partners. These unique challenges are what drive us to go the extra mile, fuel our passion to unearth potential, and provide us with a means of delighting our clients. Every time.
Put simply, we do exactly what we say we do! And that depends entirely on the tailored plan we develop and agree for each client assignment. Engaging closely with clients, understanding their needs, being intelligent, agile planners while remaining tight on costs and striving for service excellence are cornerstones of our operation.
Our experienced drivers and fleet of articulated lorries are fundamental to our team; we are driven by a shared responsibility to translate plans into consistent and reliable delivery. Every time.
Weʼre proud to say that our unique approach is founded on some simple shared values, comprehensive industry experience backed by the latest digital planning tools, and a healthy dose of tenacity and competitive spirit. And we are always striving to enhance, change things up, and view from a different perspective to gain the edge for our clients.
Respecting the complexity of logistics, we love to pull things apart and build them back up. Sometimes unconventionally, but always with sensitivity and a keen eye on minimizing risk. Striving to simplify and relentlessly deliver for our clients.
First, we listen to understand. What comes next depends entirely on the challenge. Our fleet of multi-modal trailers is totally flexible for delivery of anything from chilled palletised goods to loose products on containers and everything in between.
Our multi-skilled planners have dedicated customer accounts and manage their own fleets. This means streamlined communication from client to driver and the ability to adjust quickly to changing demands.
The safety of our drivers, other road users and our loads is paramount. Thatʼs why we invest in regular, multi-level defensive driving courses, and maintain our fleet of vehicles to the highest possible standards through our dedicated on-site workshop.
Our industry experience and understanding enables us to plan for every eventuality within our control; legislative, environmental, road safety and best practice – we are always looking ahead to anticipate change and protect the supply chain.
Templesʼ unique driving force is created by our shared passion and commitment to achieving excellence in all that we do for our clients. From intelligent planning, detailed project management and an agile approach to addressing customersʼ needs to our dedicated drivers and work of our support colleagues, we love what we do and are unapologetically tenacious no matter the challenge.
Weʼre proud to introduce some of our team and share their stories of what working at Temples means to them:
“Iʼve been at Temples for 10 years now. Itʼs such a positive place to work with good, friendly people. Weʼre constantly busy and thereʼs never a lull, which means I get a really reliable flow of work and I like that. Itʼs just great to feel a sense that things are going well and it will continue.”
STEVE TRUEPENNY - DRIVER
"I have my Dad to thank for helping me get my class 1 licence to have a chance in haulage. As a 21 year old girl with no experience, nobody would give me a chance. Luckily, I came across Temples Transport and after a couple of weeks of training and some ongoing support, I am a fully fledge member of the team – learning everyday!"
AMY TYSON - DRIVER
“Iʼve been involved in transport for my entire career - 24 years in the military, 10 in industry. Since joining Temples in 2019 weʼve grown at a phenomenal pace; no job is a ʻNoʼ for us! Our ops teams are uniquely skilled at creative planning, which means we can deliver safely, reliably and economically for customers while thriving ourselves in a highly competitive marketplace. Itʼs challenging, exciting, fun and great to be a part of the team.”
ALAN HANRAHAN - HEAD OF RISK
We understand and own our responsibility to play a part in protecting our people, our community and the world in which we operate. Rigorous financial control, legislative compliance and a future view on the environment all help ensure we are here for the long-term.
Reducing emissions is key to protecting our planet; another prime motivator for us to avoid empty transit miles and to maximise each journey. Itʼs in our blood and what excites us in every logistics challenge.
We continue to explore the potential for using Liquefied Natural Gas – the fuel for the next decade before fully electrical HGV becomes a viable alternative to support our growing client base.
“We have an exceptional working relationship with Temples, they are a young business, but extremely determined. They provide us with a clear vision of their business needs and know they can trust in Scania to deliver a great product, hand in hand, with a great customer experience. Planning and foresight is very much on their radar and this efficiency enables us to act quickly and give them the advantage of the best value trucks every time. Weʼre always working together on their future requirements and it truly is a pleasure doing business with them.”
JOHN CULLING , SALES EXECUTIVE, SCANIA
“Temples is one of our longest standing and most reliable sub-contractors. We benefit from their ability to flex and adapt quickly while also having good transparency and open conversations to plan forward together. I’ve got great confidence in our ops teams and the way they work so closely – which removes the necessity for frustrating conversations! Good quality drivers, standards we expect across the board, always looking ahead at kit and new practices, which is in line with our business vision … it all makes for an enjoyable, good solid working relationship.”
HENRY JUDE, TRANSPORT MANAGER, FOWLER WELCH
“After almost 45 yearsʼ experience in the logistics industry, I appreciate the dedication and sheer hard work that I see going into the business at Temples and Iʼve committed to being a partner to help their development. They are an ambitious organisation with really sound structures and systems so thereʼs a much greater level of certainty and control. They care about good communication, which is good for us and our drivers. Itʼs a relationship where thereʼs mutual respect and understanding and I enjoy working with them.”
