Warwickshire-based logistics firm Ralph Coleman International is switching its focus from transport to tray and pallet washing in response to customer demand.

The company, which will launch a new brand under the Coleman Logistics banner, said transport and warehousing will still play an important role but the wash sites will provide the potential for growth.

It is developing smaller, strategically placed wash sites around the country, which will offer shorter journeys for its own and customers' vehicles.

Founder and chairman Ralph Coleman said: "Successful businesses have to be able to respond and adapt to change in a positive way. The new brand and name is about us positioning ourselves as a total logistics company and moving away from our traditional transport roots.

"Although these are uncertain times, with increasing pressures on transport costs, we believe that there are still opportunities – not least if you deliver great service and identify savings for your customers."
