Updated: John Good Logistics buys Inter-Ways and completes Denholm merger

[ December 15, 2023   //   ]

John Good Logistics has acquired 100% of European road freight operator Inter-Ways.

Inter-Ways is a family-owned freight forwarding business which focuses primarily on road freight to Eastern and Northern Europe as well as air freight and sea freight. Inter-Ways will continue to trade under its own brand for the foreseeable future from its offices at Doncaster Finningley Airport.

Divisional managing director of Good Logistics, Alan Platt, said, “Like Good Logistics, Inter-Ways has a solid focus on superior customer service. With its extensive European road freight network developed over 20 years, it is a perfect fit with Good Logistics.”

Itself part of family-owned Denholm Group, having been acquired in 2021, Good Logistics completed its integration with Denholm Global Logistics to become Denholm Good Logistics on 1 January 2024. The new combined organisation will employ over 350 people operating from 22 offices and serving more than 4,000 customers.

“The acquisition of Inter-Ways will amplify our skills and knowledge, which, combined with digital innovation, help set Good Logistics apart from other logistics providers. Inter-Ways has a great team of people who are committed to the business and its customers and I am delighted to welcome them to the Good Logistics team.”

Former Director and owner of Inter-Ways, Justyna Polom-Wilkinson,  commented: “I started Inter-Ways in 2003 and, with the support and dedication of a great team of people, the business has flourished to become a trusted logistics provider to our customers. I am proud to see Inter-Ways begin a new chapter. With its size, scale and, of course, strong family values, choosing Good Logistics as Inter-Ways’ new owner was a great decision.”

Inter-Ways branch manager, Ian Baker, added: “Becoming part of Good Logistics creates an exciting new dynamic for both teams, as we integrate Inter-Ways’ specialist road freight knowledge with Good Logistics’ existing road freight specialists which, combined with digital innovation, is a cornerstone of its service delivery.”
