We sit down with Andy Deighton, our Business Unit Director for the UK & Ireland to discuss current market trends, potential impacts for our customers and other businesses, and what to look out for in 2023/24.

Our UK International team are constantly hard at work bringing customers the fantastic value, service, and reliability that Suttons International is known for. The team recently received some fantastic praise from a customer following the success of a complex and large campaign.

The team play a variety of roles to commercially support the UK International business, including generating new business, relationship management with existing customers through weekly visits, supporting the operations and finance teams with quotes and job amendments, and much more.

With a fleet of over 14,000 tank containers, Suttons International are a top ten global bulk logistics operator and take our commitment to the environment very seriously.

With an international office network of over 14 offices in our operating regions of North and South America, Europe, South East Asia, China, and the UK, as well as over 25 partners and agents, Suttons International’s large interconnected global network works seamlessly to bring our customers the highest levels of value, safety, and reliability, wherever they or their deliveries may be.

The Suttons brand has a long history during which it has changed and evolved over the years. Founded by Alf Sutton in 1926, Suttons was initially known across Northwest England, where the business still calls home to this day, and later the entire UK, before spreading to all global regions and markets.

Our unique strength is how we have embraced and celebrated cultural diversity to create a business where shared, compelling, and inter-related goals have merged, where we draw strength from the diversity of each of our colleagues. Our global network means Suttons International is the most diverse and culturally rich logistics provider. We have thrived from this intrinsic diversity, defining and establishing a Suttons culture, that makes sure we are able to align closely with each of our customers needs.
