Not only has our approach enabled us to reduce costs for transportation, but we also reduce clients' capital invested in assets whilst in transit due to faster transportation and customs clearance.

The potential for supply chain interruption is always a threat to lean manufacturing, and whether an interruption is caused by industrial action, quality failure, financial stability, sudden demand surge, bad weather or a combination of these issues, it is imperative to have in place a company that can act fast, be pro-active and supportive. That's why Priority Freight are relied upon by the world's leading OEMs, and their suppliers for their priority time-definite transports by road and air.

As well as inbound emergencies, car companies choose us to protect their brand image by providing after-market express transport of vital parts to distributors and direct to dealerships.

Born from the needs of a world renowned vehicle manufacturer operating in the UK, our expertise ranges from the management of large time sensitive warehouses to direct production line feed and sub assembly.

Operating with discretion and integrity, several other UK manufacturers in the automotive sector have since benefited from our on-site logistics and contract warehousing solutions.

The financial stability provided by the two parent companies has without doubt provided some of the oldest UK automotive manufacturers with high levels of confidence to work with such a young company.

The Rudolph & Hellmann Automotive management team operates independently of the parent companies and this freedom means that reaction times are fast and decisions can be made quickly. This attribute is a key necessity when operating within fast paced automotive manufacturing environments.

With it's headquarters in Lichfield, Staffordshire, Rudolph & Hellmann Automotive is centrally placed to manage any mainland UK based logistics operation.

We are able to manage or advise on the smallest element of any warehousing operation whilst also providing the infrastructure and capability to take on the largest.
