Logistics company secures grant for future growth

A Welsh logistics company has managed to secure a grant that would enable it to create jobs and further expand its facilities on the long term, a recent news report in the local business media has been able to reveal.

Caldicot-based Hicks Logistics, a family-owned and run business specialising in warehousing, distribution and freight transport, was established in 1978 and currently employs 90 people.

After receiving advice from Business Wales, the company was able to secure a grant of £7,500 to help towards the purchase and installation of commercial racking to enhance its storage facilities. It also allowed it to create four new jobs.

Founder Terry Hicks said: "The grant has been instrumental in the expansion of our storage facilities. Without this support, it would have been very difficult for us to purchase and install the racks to meet the growing demands of our customers’ storage requirements."
