Rhys Davies Freight Logistics (RDFL), which has grown from a family business to an international haulier, is celebrating 60 years in transport.
The company operates 190 commercial vehicles from nine depots, and says flexibility and diversification – through warehousing, distribution and handling services – have been key to its success.
One example of this is the paint mixing service that Rhys Davies provides for two European manufacturers at its Birmingham and Cardiff warehouses. This includes a traceable quality sampling and testing process, where samples are taken, measured and sent to the customer for recording purposes.
Gary Phillips, commercial manager of Rhys Davies Freight Logistics says: "Because the clients are based in Europe, it makes more sense for the paints to be mixed at our warehouse rather than them shipping paint colours speculatively. It saves them time, inventory and money."
