What Peter Green Chilled does

Peter Green Chilled (legal entity: Peter Green Haulage Ltd) is a UK-headquartered, family-owned provider of temperature-controlled logistics services, operating from a 14,000-pallet multi-temperature warehouse in Evercreech, Somerset, and an owned fleet of 50 tri-axle tractor units plus 62 semi-trailers. The business traces back to the 1960s cheese-haulage contracts for Somerset dairy producers, was acquired by the Binks family in 1994, and has since expanded into integrated chilled, frozen and ambient distribution, warehousing, customs brokerage and contract services for food manufacturers, wholesalers, caterers and retailers across the UK, Ireland and continental Europe (daily departures to France, Belgium and the Netherlands; 2x weekly to Spain, Italy, Portugal and Germany; weekly to Central Europe), with import warehousing support extending its reach to North American clients.

The operating platform is built on three technology layers: a customer-configured Pyramid Warehouse Management System for EDI-driven order processing, SKU and multi-customer stock management and full traceability; Mandata Transport Management System integrated with TomTom Telematics satellite tracking across the fleet; and an RF wireless scanning environment linked to SSCC pallet-level barcoding, with live camera recording on vehicles. Twin-evaporator split-compartment trailers allow simultaneous chilled, frozen and ambient loads on a single vehicle, and the warehouse supports temperatures from -22°C blast freezing up to ambient, with chambers at 3°C, 12°C and 16°C. Compliance is anchored by BRC Storage & Distribution, AEO (C/S) customs status, Soil Association Organic, ISO 14001:2015, FTA membership and MZ 060 meat-handling approval — credentials that underwrite access to all major UK grocers.

Revenue is generated through transaction-fee transport contracts, managed-services warehousing, and professional-services customs and contract work, sold on a quote basis to enterprise accounts, with 24/7 head-office account management supporting dedicated key-account relationships. Named customers include Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Waitrose, Co-Op, Morrisons, M&S, Aldi and Lidl, alongside food manufacturers and wholesalers, but specific revenue figures, headcount, contract values or pricing benchmarks are not publicly disclosed.
