What Silver-x does

Silver X Group, legally The Silver X Group, is a UK-based integrated logistics provider founded in 2013 and headquartered in Alfreton, Derbyshire, operating as a subsidiary within the GBA Logistics family since 2023. The company offers four core service lines: premium dedicated haulage and courier services, retail and groupage deliveries, warehousing and e-commerce fulfilment (130,000+ sq ft across three sites with 12,000+ racked spaces), and UK & European pallet deliveries via partnerships with UPN and TPN networks and sister company Bow Distribution. Underlying these services is a technology stack comprising a Transportation Management System (TMS) for route optimisation and real-time visibility, a Mintsoft-powered Warehouse Management System (WMS) with direct e-commerce platform integration, and Webfleet telematics providing live KPI dashboards, achieving reported metrics of 99.2% on-time-in-full, 99.7% stock accuracy, and 99% electronic proof of delivery.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: per-delivery/contract fees for transport, per-pallet storage or service-level agreement (SLAs) for warehousing, and professional services fees for contract packaging. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with discounted rates offered on longer-term contracts. Silver X pursues a sales-led go-to-market motion targeting enterprise manufacturers, retailers, and e-commerce businesses requiring bespoke 3PL/4PL solutions, with dedicated account management for key accounts and self-service client portals for warehousing (Mintsoft) and transport (Webfleet). Customer segments span enterprise manufacturers and distributors, retail businesses, e-commerce businesses, pallet distribution customers, and SMB/mid-market clients. Distribution is primarily domestic UK with EU reach through the Bow Distribution sister company and the broader GBA Logistics network.

Broad incumbents

• EVRi (formerly Hermes UK): Large UK parcel delivery network handling B2C and B2B parcels. Far larger scale than Silver X but competes at the parcel level, particularly for e-commerce fulfilment clients seeking nationwide coverage.
• Yodel: UK parcel delivery network with significant B2B and B2C capability. Comparable as another UK-headquartered parcel/courier operator but with broader scale and B2C orientation than Silver X's B2B focus.
• DHL Supply Chain UK: Global 3PL/4PL arm of DHL operating in the UK across warehousing, transport, and e-fulfilment. Competes with Silver X on enterprise logistics contracts but at vastly greater scale and global reach.
• GXO Logistics (UK): Major contract logistics and e-fulfilment provider with UK operations (post-XPO spin merger). Competes with Silver X for outsourced warehousing and e-commerce fulfilment wins from enterprise retailers.
• Wincanton: Largest UK contract logistics and 3PL provider offering transport, warehousing, and e-fulfilment for enterprise customers. Direct head-to-head competitor for the enterprise manufacturers and distributors Silver X targets.

Direct peers

• Palletways: UK and European pallet network operator offering timed pallet distribution and freight services very similar to Silver X's UK & European Pallet Deliveries product line. Competes for the same pallet-shipping enterprise and SMB customers.
• DX Network Services (DX Freight): UK-based B2B courier and distribution specialist offering secure, time-sensitive document and parcel delivery. Directly comparable to Silver X's Premium Courier & Haulage Services for UK distribution businesses.
• Pall-Ex: UK pallet network providing next-day and economy pallet services across the UK and Europe with real-time tracking. Comparable to Silver X via pallet network model, network partnerships (UPN/TPN for Silver X), and SMB/enterprise customer overlap.

Others
