What Frex Logistics does

Frex Logistics Network is a privately held UK B2B logistics provider headquartered in Birmingham, founded circa 1991, that operates a multi-service courier and fulfillment platform targeting businesses rather than consumers. The company runs seven core service lines: Same Day Delivery (24/7 urgent shipments), 2-Man Delivery (heavy/bulky items), Multi-Drop Courier (optimized route-based bulk delivery), In-Night Delivery (overnight replenishment), International Shipping (cross-border with customs handling), E-Commerce Solutions (last-mile and Amazon FBA prep), and Storage, Pick & Pack (warehousing and fulfillment). Its customer base is verticalized across furniture and bedding, appliances and electronics, retail and wholesale distribution, e-commerce and warehousing, home improvement and DIY, commercial and institutional buyers, ADR-certified dangerous goods, and medical and healthcare logistics. Underlying technology consists of a website-based booking and tracking portal, real-time shipment visibility, and route optimization, though no proprietary AI/ML systems, APIs, or SDKs are disclosed.

The business model is transaction-fee based, with quote-driven pricing per shipment determined by size, weight, distance, and service type; no public price list exists. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: enterprise and mid-market B2B customers engage via the frex.co.uk website, a self-serve shipment form, phone (+44 121 356 2795), or WhatsApp (+44 7851 112453), supported by a dedicated account team. Distribution leverage is augmented through channel partnerships with global carriers DHL, UPS, FedEx, and European pallet network Palletways, enabling international and palletized freight without owning the underlying fleet. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range, and no funding rounds, ownership structure, management team, revenue figures, or certifications beyond ADR dangerous-goods competence are disclosed, leaving significant data gaps regarding scale, governance, and financial trajectory.
