Below are the […]

Her unparalleled and unstinting service to our country for the last seventy years has been truly remarkable. Embracing her role with great dignity, she became admired, loved and […]

Many local communities have been rallying around to donate aid to Ukrainian refugees. While international transport seems to be hitting the media, and appear to be organised fairly well through official charities, how are the donations getting to the correct distribution hubs in the UK? During March, Simon Morley, managing director of our sister company […]
The recent treatment of employees by P&O Ferries is, from our perspective, nothing short of despicable. Their website champions ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’, and purports to ‘inspire our people…’ inferring an ethos of ‘investing in people’. Whilst they may have valid financial reasons to support their actions, how they have handled this leaves a lot to […]
The hauliers strike which started on March 14th is reaching a debilitating state in Spain.

As many know, Ital Logistics likes to donate to small charities when possible, and especially at this time of year. Smaller charities depend entirely on public donations, and the fact that they are smaller means they are not usually visible in the public domain. Our second charity this year has been chosen because my late […]
It’s that time of year again when we, like many companies, make some charity contributions. We wouldn’t normally post anything on the website yet until we have finalised our chosen charities for this Christmas, but one which stands out and is close to our hearts is Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary. This year they have a special […]
