Providing you with the industry insights, practical commercial advice and technical expertise that contribute to your success is what motivates and drives our Shipping, Rail and Road, Aviation and Logistics team.
Our clients range from individuals and owner managed businesses through to publicly listed companies in the UK and around the globe. They benefit from our deep and extensive experience delivering accountancy services and business advice. We also pride ourselves on our commitment to building relationships with our clients.
The services we deliver include technical accountancy, tax advisory, corporate finance, governance, restructuring and insolvency. A partner-led approach means you are able to build a strong, personal and profession relationship with an experienced, expert advisor.
We maintain and develop our understanding and knowledge of the sector by regularly publishing reports and updates. These provide key information on the key trends that are driving value and success across the industry as well as news and technical guidance.
Industry expertise across shipping, rail and road, aviation and logistics
We advise clients in every area of the industry. They include ship owners and operators, ports and port agents, hauliers, contract logistics and 3PLs, through to air, rail and bus passenger transport companies, as well as the businesses that support them such as technology and automation providers.
We have also created a dedicated team, ready to handle and provide information and advice on how businesses can make the most of the Freeports initiative. Whether you are looking to relocate into a Freeport, trying to assess the potential impact on your business or looking for investment opportunities, we can help you make the right decision.
To ensure that Shipping, Rail and Road, Aviation and Logistics companies are able to address Environmental Social and Governance issues, as well as carbon emission issues effectively they need to work with advisers who understand this challenging environment, have a broad-ranging expertise within it and strong international reach. We are those advisers. At BDO, our Core Purpose is ‘helping you succeed’ – at its core, this is about societal purpose; there is perhaps no greater alignment than with the Climate Change agenda. How we act on ESG matters sits squarely in ‘Citizenship’ – which we have identified as a priority for our Unifying Culture.
We have specialists in each of these industry sub-sectors who will work with you to achieve your goals and will bring in the other BDO experts that you may need.
