Founded in 1990, Bullet Express provides global freight management, distribution and storage capability to a diverse customer base across multiple sectors including FMCG, Retail, Healthcare, Industrial and Aerospace.

The company is led by John McKail, who has been Managing Director since 2020 and has spent his entire career in the logistics sector and boasts an experienced senior management team.   In recent years the business has invested heavily in enhancing its storage and sorting capabilities, as well as driving efficiencies. This has allowed Bullet to take on larger scale contracts and offer more services. Operating from several strategic locations, the business provides 560,000ft² of facilities which offer easy access to key motorways, seaports and airports enabling time sensitive transport for its clients across the UK.

How has Panoramic helped?

Panoramic has provided funding to enable the management buyout led by MD John Mckail.  The funding will support management’s impressive organic growth to date as well as enabling the business to pursue a buy and build strategy. The UK logistics market is estimated to be worth £204 billion and is very fragmented providing opportunity for consolidation and access to other key geographical networks.
