Broad incumbents

• Lineage Logistics: The world's largest global temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics company. Operates automated, port-centric and built-to-suit cold storage with integrated transportation — directly comparable to Hanson Logistics' cold-chain storage offering but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
• Culina Group: Large UK-based logistics and warehousing group with temperature-controlled capabilities alongside ambient storage, transport, and freight forwarding. Larger and more diversified than Hanson Logistics but operates in the same UK cold-chain warehousing segment.
• Wincanton: Major UK contract logistics provider with significant cold-chain and shared-user warehousing capacity. Provides a relevant UK-listed benchmark for third-party logistics scale, pricing, and customer concentration comparable to Hanson Logistics' offering.
• NewCold Advanced Cold Logistics: European-headquartered automated cold-storage operator with large, highly mechanised facilities serving major food manufacturers and retailers. Comparable end-market (food cold chain) and built-to-suit capability, but with materially greater automation and scale.
• Americold Realty Trust: US-listed global REIT and the second-largest temperature-controlled warehouse operator worldwide. Operates extensive UK and European cold-storage portfolios; relevant comparable for unit economics, occupancy dynamics, and capital structure benchmarking versus Hanson Logistics.

Direct peers

• Magnavale: UK-focused temperature-controlled storage and distribution provider with multiple sites. Closest direct competitor to Hanson Logistics in the British cold-storage market, serving food producers, retailers and 3PL customers with comparable unit-based offerings.
• Grocontinental: Shropshire-based UK ambient and temperature-controlled warehousing specialist providing storage, pick-and-pack, and distribution. Comparable regional scale, customer mix (food producers and retailers), and service model to Hanson Logistics' UK operation.
• Oakland International: UK and Ireland temperature-controlled logistics provider offering multi-temperature storage, consolidation, and distribution. Similar size band and customer profile (foodservice, retail, manufacturing) to Hanson Logistics, competing for overlapping contracts in the British market.
• NFT Distribution: UK temperature-controlled haulier and warehousing specialist operating from the North of England. Provides both shared-user and dedicated cold storage alongside transport services — highly comparable to Hanson Logistics' storage-plus-distribution model in a similar regional footprint.

Regional players

• Eurofrigo (B+S Group): European temperature-controlled logistics provider operating cold-storage warehouses across Germany, the Netherlands and adjacent markets. Comparable service offering to Hanson Logistics but primarily serving continental Europe rather than the UK; useful as a European cold-storage peer reference.
