Keynote Presentation from Andrew Malcolm, CEO, The Malcolm Group

Malcolm Logistics, a division of The Malcolm Group, has grown into one of the UK’s leading third‑party logistics (3PL) providers by operating a distinctive “two‑track” model that blends sophisticated, rail‑connected, intermodal logistics with construction and maintenance services. As one of Scotland’s largest employers and a business with roots stretching back to the 1920s, the company has combined scale and capability with the agility, values, and personal touch of a family‑run enterprise.

In this session, Andrew Malcolm will share the remarkable story behind the organisation’s evolution – from its origins as a privately owned family business, through its period as a PLC, to the family’s strategic decision to buy the business back. He will explore how Malcolm Logistics has built a resilient, customer‑focused model by investing in multimodal infrastructure, bonded warehousing, and long‑term partnerships, while maintaining the culture and continuity that underpin its success.
