McGregor Logistics, a prominent haulage company based in Doncaster, has officially entered administration nearly a month after issuing warnings of financial distress. Insolvency specialists from Forvis Mazars have been appointed to manage the company’s affairs as it navigates this challenging period.
Founded 20 years ago, McGregor Logistics grew to become a notable player in the UK logistics industry, operating from multiple sites including Doncaster, Scunthorpe, Peterborough, and Tilbury. With a versatile fleet comprising curtain-sided, refrigerated, and low-loader trailers, the company handled a range of logistics and warehousing services. It was especially known for its expertise in transporting biomass and renewable energy products, reflecting a focus on sustainable transport solutions.
In recent years, McGregor expanded its operations, leasing extensive space at St. Modwen Park to support its warehousing and logistics needs. According to its last published accounts, the company employed approximately 145 staff members, who are now facing an uncertain future as administrators assess the firm’s assets and liabilities.
The news marks a significant development in the logistics sector and raises concerns about the impact on jobs and services. McGregor Logistics’ administration follows a growing trend of financial challenges within the transport and logistics industry, exacerbated by economic pressures and rising operational costs.
Forvis Mazars has not yet provided details regarding the future of the company or the potential for any rescue or restructuring efforts.
