Walkers Transport is a leading UK transport and third-party logistics specialist providing bespoke transport solutions to leading manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers and distributors. So, what does that really mean? Well, everyday our vehicles deliver pallets of goods across the UK, Ireland and Europe. Founded in 1979 and known as the Can Do. company, we offer a complete solution for the daily management and delivery of palletised goods through harnessing the power of technology and expert planning to get our customers’ goods from one location to another.

Having grown strongly in recent years, Walkers moves over 1.2 million pallets each year, and further growth is being targeted.
