Logistics firm to create 50 jobs

Nottingham-based logistics firm Baxter Freight is set to create around 50 new jobs as part of its “Fast Forward” business plan.

The firm, which currently has over 70 staff, plans to grow its turnover from around £18m this year to over £30m by 2021 as employee numbers increase to 120.

The company has also recently appointed James Frost, Richard Jeggo and Jari Rasmussen as directors and Lorraine Sutcliffe as associate director.

In order to house its new staff, the company is investing in new premises and adding an additional 5000 sq ft to its current headquarters, creating a 15,000 sq ft facility.

Managing director Peter Isler said: “As we accelerate our growth and invest in people and premises, this is one of the most exciting phases in Baxter Freight’s development and the most beneficial for our customers.

“Our focus is and always will be on delivering market leading customer service, supported by the most competitive logistics solutions, so that we can build long term relationships. To have achieved this growth against the background of uncertain political and economic times is testament to the fantastic team here at Baxter Freight. In that context, I’m delighted to welcome James, Richard and Jari to our board and to promote Lorraine to associate director.”
