• Kinaxia Logistics: UK-based multi-modal logistics group offering road transport, pallet distribution, warehousing, and freight forwarding. Comparable UK-focused mid-market logistics provider with similar service breadth and enterprise customer base.
• Bibby Distribution: UK 3PL providing contract logistics, dedicated transport, and warehousing for enterprise customers. Comparable to EDG's contract logistics and dedicated loads offerings across multiple sectors.
