What Lesters Logistics does

Lesters Logistics (legal entity SL Packaging & Transport Limited, company number 12179234) is a UK-based third-party logistics provider operating from a 47,000 sq. ft warehouse hub in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, with a registered office in Barnet, Hertfordshire. Founded in 2021 as part of the Lesters Group, the company offers an integrated portfolio spanning storage and distribution (2,200 pallet spaces and 20,000 sq. ft of floor storage), pick and pack, stock and serve inventory management, multi-channel e-commerce order fulfilment, plus transport and haulage services including same-day, multi-drop, pallet, time-critical, and contract distribution. The service surface extends to white-glove handling, environmental disposal with certified destruction, and ADR-certified hazardous goods transport.

Underlying technology is built around a warehouse management system with real-time inventory tracking, AIDC barcode scanning for pick and pack accuracy, GPS tracking across the delivery fleet, and integrations with Shopify, Amazon, eBay, and major UK and European courier services for order and inventory synchronization. There is no public API or developer portal; integrations operate as customer-facing platform connections rather than partner-developer interfaces.

The business model combines managed-services revenue (storage fees by pallet, pick and pack charges per order, environmental disposal contracts) with transaction-fee revenue from per-delivery and contract haulage. Quote-based, customized pricing with three storage tiers (1-99, 100-499, 500+ pallets) targets a customer mix from startups and e-commerce brands (primary segment) to construction and building materials suppliers and medical and healthcare distributors. GTM is sales-led with direct outreach via website enquiry, phone, and email, supplemented by LinkedIn and Facebook organic presence plus content marketing on 3PL topics. Named enterprise reference customers include a leading Irish freight firm, Spradling, and BITO. The company is privately held with no external funding rounds and is led by Director Reiss Newport.
