YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Keeping road-dependent freight networks resilient and efficient
- Road carries about 89% of Great Britain’s domestic freight by tonne, making congestion, driver availability and fuel costs immediate service risks.
- Against this dependence, YCP maps freight flows, redesigns operating models and prioritizes network improvements that protect cost and delivery performance.
Aligning fulfilment capacity with evolving online demand
- Online sales accounted for roughly 26% of UK retail spending in 2024, raising expectations for rapid, accurate fulfilment and flexible returns.
- To meet these expectations profitably, YCP forecasts demand, assesses warehouse capacity and shapes fulfilment strategies around customer needs.
Managing trade friction across UK and European supply chains
- The EU represented about 41% of UK goods exports and 51% of imports in 2024, leaving many supply chains exposed to border-process complexity.
- With cross-border reliability at stake, YCP reviews customs touchpoints, supplier flows and inventory policies to reduce delays and compliance risk.
Reducing freight emissions without weakening competitiveness
- Transport generated around 28% of UK greenhouse-gas emissions in 2023, intensifying pressure on logistics operators to lower fuel use and emissions.
- Balancing these demands, YCP identifies practical decarbonisation levers, from route and load optimisation to fleet-transition and investment roadmaps.
