Congratulations to Gary Causer, our Commercial Director, who is celebrating 25 years of dedicated service at SW Group. Early on, Gary transitioned into Warehouse Management and IT at Chelworth, where he honed his skills in Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and developed a keen understanding of commercial operations. His technical acumen and strategic mindset were pivotal in expanding SW Group’s business with Honda Manufacturing and a network of Honda suppliers. This milestone is a testament to Gary’s exceptional dedication and innovation. Over the years, he has excelled in pivotal roles across Warehouse Management and IT, eventually taking on the position of Commercial Director. His development of advanced warehouse and freight management systems has revolutionised our operations, while his strategic insight has driven significant business growth with key clients. Congratulations to Gary on his 25th work anniversary. His unwavering dedication, innovative spirit, and strategic impact continue to be an inspiration to everyone at SW Group. #logistics #warehousing #outofgaugefreight

Recently Clive Oakley & Christian Knox, and our depot management & workshop team, visited DAF - Leyland Trucks Assembly plant. They had a front-row seat to the fascinating process of how our DAF HGVs are built from the ground up. One of the highlights was spotting the same trucks we’ve ordered being assembled. Each truck takes just 5 hours from start to finish, and with their skilful coordination, the Leyland team produce up to 60 trucks a day. Thank you to Michael Monelle of Motus Commercials for arranging delivery of our vehicles which will be with us very soon! #logisiticsuk #outofgaugefreight #buildingbritain DAF Trucks UK

We are continuously investing in technology to improve our service even further, so are delighted to be introducing Samsara - a cutting-edge camera system, to our entire fleet over the coming months. Samsara is more than just a smart camera and fleet tracking system. With Samsara, we’ll be able to: ✔️ View the real-time locations of every vehicle and trailer on a super user-friendly dashboard. ✔️ Gain crucial insights into fuel efficiency, tacho data, driving trends, and much more. ✔️ Train and protect our drivers, using verbal prompts to alert them of risky behaviours, significantly reducing accidents and ensuring everyone gets home safely. Our ultimate goal is to create the safest working environment for everyone in the SW family and to continue to deliver the best possible service for our customers. Here’s to safer roads, greener practices and a tech-savvy future for SW Group! #fleettechnology #logistics #saferroads #swindonbusiness

Electric and Hydrogen Vans - Great to see our CEO Richard Knox and MD Clive Oakley out and about today, test driving electric and hydrogen vans as guests of Stellantis UK and Brad Miller at Millbrook test facility in Bedfordshire (Autocar Test Track and often used by Top Gear!). Electric and possibly hydrogen could be coming to SW Group in 2025 to start our De-carbonisation journey with some little steps! #decarbonisation #evcommercials #renewables #palletnetwork

Great to see our MD out for the day learning about the potential of Hydrogen as a fuel for our trucks .

Attending Bradford Hydrogen Event Looking forward to attending an event at the City Hall to learn about Bradford’s brand new hydrogen production facility and about the practicality of Hydrogen as a fuel for trucks. The country’s largest low carbon hydrogen production scheme is set to produce 12.5 tonnes of hydrogen daily, enough to fuel 800 diesel buses – a great opportunity for Bradford and the region to lead the road towards decarbonisation with cleaner energy. #HygenEnergy #NGen #Bradfordhydrogen #BradfordCouncil

We are happy to share that our website has undergone a complete transformation, thanks to the amazing team at PLOTT! Their creativity and dedication have truly brought our vision to life, and we couldn't be more excited about the results. The new design is not just a fresh look but also a step forward in providing a better experience for our clients and visitors. Check out the incredible work they did by visiting our newly revamped site here: www.swgroup.co.uk Thank you PLOTT, for your hard work and innovative approach! We loved collaborating with you and highly recommend your services!
The phrase “client retention” is just the kind of business-speak jargon that sends me to sleep. But it describes a rather lovely thing. That your client loved what you did, and came back for more! In this case the client is SW Group - Pallet Network | Warehousing. We built their website and have maintained it over the last five years. Five years is a good innings for a website, and we do recommend replacing your site every five years or so. Because the code gets out-of-date compared to the infrastructure, and all the patches and security hotfixes are good and necessary. But eventually you’re papering over cracks. And SW Group had evolved since 2019, so the website didn’t fully reflect their business as it is today. We recommended a replacement site, based on the above and – sensible fine folk that they are – they agreed. First we started with refreshing their brand identity. Followed by a shoot at their depots with lovely authentic real-life photos and videos of their people. All new copywriting throughout the Google-friendly website and a lovely new design. All of which lives on our “PLOTT OS”, the software that runs the website. Fast, secure, accessible, as all our sites are. Ready to go for the next five years! Got a web project in mind? Connect or DM. #BrandingAndWeb #ReturningClients #WebDesign
