VLT Logistics are a local company based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, offering distribution and warehousing (including warehouse to rent and third-party logistics) services UK-wide.
Vernon Land founded VLT Logistics in 1996, with his son Andrew Land jumping on board in 2009.
VLT Logistics remains a family-owned, service-driven, busy business with a strong, long-standing client base and more than 70 employees.
Several years ago, problems with the business’s existing accountant led Vernon to Watson Buckle following a recommendation from his Commercial Banking Manager.
How Watson Buckle has helped
Watson Buckle stepped in to look after the VLT Logistics’ accounts, reporting, and other financial and tax needs.
The firm have been able to get the company’s accounts into a much better position than they had been in before.
“They’ve gone above and beyond,” said Andrew Land.
Strategic advice
In addition to taking care of the accounts, Watson Buckle do more for VLT Logistics by offering strategic business advice.
Andrew’s quarterly strategy meetings with director Mark Wilcock are vital for the business’s performance.
“Watson Buckle are ingrained in our business. They’re a key cog in that they keep our accounting in check, but they also offer strategic advice and little bits of advice here and there on all matters.”
Plans for the future
VLT Logistics has grown significantly over the past five years – and Watson Buckle have been with the business every step of the way.
Andrew is confident that Watson Buckle will continue to support the business on its growth journey.
“I only see them as enhancing our growth with the help and guidance that they offer us from a financial perspective. Our vision as a company is to keep growing and keep delivering premium service levels – and as far as Watson Buckle goes, we’d like them to continue as one of our key partners in that growth.”
