10 New Trailers Join Browns Fleet in 70th Anniversary Year

We’re excited to have taken delivery of 10 brand new SDC curtainsider trailers - the latest addition to our fleet during our landmark 70th anniversary year. Each trailer carries our refreshed geometric design, anniversary logo, and the line "Moving Distribution Forward Since 1955". It’s a simple message that captures what Browns Distribution is all about - helping to keep businesses moving through reliable, responsive palletised freight services. These new trailers have already hit the road, delivering pallets across Staffordshire and right across the UK. The arrival of these 10 trailers marks the latest stage in our ongoing fleet investment programme. Since 2023, we’ve introduced almost 40 new trailers in total, gradually retiring older models and replacing them with modern, more efficient equipment. A younger fleet brings a number of advantages. It helps us improve fuel efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and maintain the high standards of reliability our customers expect. It also supports our capacity to handle growing demand - with more customers than ever choosing Browns for fast, flexible pallet delivery. Moving Distribution Forward Since 1955 Browns Distribution has been moving goods and supporting UK businesses since 1955. From our beginnings as a local haulier in Staffordshire, we’ve grown into a trusted nationwide logistics partner. The arrival of our 70th anniversary trailers celebrates that journey - and reflects our ongoing investment in the fleet and service we provide. Whether delivering pallets across Staffordshire or throughout the UK, our fleet is the backbone of our business. And with these new trailers on the road, we’re ready to keep goods moving for many more years to come. #Browns70

Celebrating 70 Years of Browns with our Colleagues and their Families

On Sunday, we welcomed colleagues and their families to Distribution House for a very special event - our 70th Anniversary Family Fun Day. It was brilliant to come together and celebrate such a proud milestone in the history of Browns. From our early beginnings in 1955 to the business we are today, this anniversary is a real moment to reflect on how far we’ve come - and to thank the people who’ve made it possible. And what better way to celebrate than with a day full of fun, food and entertainment! Our yard looked very different from usual - transformed into the perfect party space with something for everyone to enjoy. There were bungee trampolines and a huge rock climbing wall, freshly made Neapolitan pizza and traditional ice cream, all set to the sound of live music throughout the day. We’d like to say a huge thank you to the fantastic team who worked so hard behind the scenes to organise the day and turn our busy yard into such a welcoming space. And of course, thank you to everyone who came along to make it so special. Here’s to the next chapter in our story - and many more celebrations to come!

Browns Achieves BRCGS Storage & Distribution Accreditation for the Second Year Running

We’re proud to share that Browns Distribution has once again achieved an AA grade certification to the BRCGS Global Standard for Storage and Distribution. This marks our second consecutive year of accreditation, a great reflection of the high standards our team works hard to deliver across our warehousing and pallet storage services. Why BRCGS Storage & Distribution Matters BRCGS is one of the world's most recognised benchmarks for safety, hygiene, product control, and quality processes across the supply chain. Earning an AA grade means we meet the highest level of compliance for the Storage and Distribution Standard. For our customers, this gives added confidence that their products are being handled, stored, and distributed under carefully controlled conditions. It also supports supply chain transparency and traceability - increasingly important across many industries. Continuous Improvement Across Our Services Our latest BRCGS audit praised the ongoing improvements we continue to make across our warehousing and logistics operations. These include: - Enhanced hygiene and product control procedures - Rigorous staff training programmes - Documented safety and quality systems - Regular audits and process reviews By maintaining these standards, we not only meet certification requirements but also help protect the reputation of the brands and products we store and distribute. Trusted Warehousing & Pallet Storage Solutions Whether you require short-term pallet storage, long-term warehousing, or value-added services such as pick and pack, Browns offers flexible solutions backed by proven quality.
