Efficient logistics powers the global expansion of Great British Sports Cars

Oct 02, 2024

Great British Sports Cars reports that its continuing logistics partnership with Davies Turner is helping to underpin its expansion into global markets.

That partnership has seen Davies Turner recently handle the shipment of two of the car manufacturer’s iconic Zero vehicles from the UK to the USA.

The Zero is a beefed-up version of Colin Chapman's Lotus Seven/Caterham silhouette, that packs a serious dose of driving excitement . The two cars shipped recently were in kit form and had to be carefully packed in bespoke crating prior to shipment, to ensure they were in perfect condition on delivery and ready for final assembly.

Since their first collaboration in 2021, Davies Turner has become the go-to freight forwarder for GBS, efficiently managing both FCL and LCL shipments mainly to North America. With numerous shipments per year, Davies Turner ensures that GBS's handcrafted sports cars, fully built, or in kit form, reach their destinations promptly and securely. The forwarder also expedites the urgent shipment of parts and spares via airfreight.

While GBS continues to captivate motoring enthusiasts with its versatile range of custom-built sports cars and customisable kits, Davies Turner provides seamless logistics support from the factory floor in the UK to the customer’s door.

"Working with GBS has been a remarkable journey," said Derek Shepley, sales executive at Davies Turner. "Its dedication to craftsmanship and innovation in the automotive industry is inspiring. We are proud to support its expansion into the North American and other global markets and look forward to continuing our partnership as its business grows.

“GBS knows that no matter where its customers are, we can ship their car or kit via a logistics service that is tailored to meet their local regulations.”

Richard Hall, director of Great British Sports Cars added: “As GBS continues to expand, it is looking at new destination opportunities globally. The supply chain management expertise of Davies Turner, and its robust international logistics network supports our efforts to meet increasing international demand for our company’s sports cars.”
