About Fast Pace Logistics
Fast Pace Logistics is an ambitious last-mile delivery business providing logistics solutions across the UK. Based in South Wales, it combines extensive transport expertise with professional, secure and time-critical delivery services of everything from small parcels to bulky household goods. From day one, the owners wanted a trusted adviser to manage day-to-day finances and provide strategic support for growth.
Navigating tight margins and ambitious growth
Fast Pace Logistics operates in a time-sensitive, high volume sector and faces several challenges as it continues to grow and diversify:
- Rising fuel, vehicle and wider operating costs.
- Protecting tight margins by gaining a clearer understanding of profitability at contract level.
- Addressing operational pressures, including fleet maintenance and vehicle downtime.
- Managing the financial complexities that come with rapid growth, new ventures and diversification.
Without an in-house finance team, the owners need reliable insight to manage cash flow, profitability, tax, investment and future planning. They also need guidance on funding and business structure as they move into the HGV market and expand into van rental and vehicle repair services.
Financial clarity to power the next move
Azets works alongside Fast Pace Logistics as its outsourced finance function and trusted business adviser. We provide joined-up support across bookkeeping, management accounts, annual statutory accounts, corporate and personal tax, corporate finance and wider business advice, giving the owners access to the expertise they need to grow the business.
Clear, timely reporting gives them greater visibility of performance, cash flow and profitability, helping make informed decisions aligned with their growth plans. By spending time with the owners and understanding their business and priorities, we tailor our advice to what matters most. Azets also support Fast Pace Logistics with tax planning, pension contributions and remuneration planning, helping to protect their long-term financial interests while enabling the business to manage its liabilities effectively. Regular contact ensures Azets remains closely connected to the owners and that we work as part of their wider team.
Ready for the next stage of growth
With Azets managing its back-office finance, Fast Pace Logistics can focus on customers and growth. Greater financial clarity helps the owners identify costs, assess contract profitability and target investment where it will have the greatest impact.
With a solid financial foundation in place, Fast Pace Logistics is well positioned to pursue their ambitions, while Azets continue to provide the insight and strategic guidance needed for the next stage of growth.
