Our Deal Advisory team recently advised the shareholders of Carry Gently Limited, a UK-based logistics specialist, on the sale to Storskogen Group AB, the Swedish-headquartered investment group.
Carry Gently has been providing specialist logistics and transport services for more than 30 years. The company is recognised for its expertise in handling high-value, fragile and complex equipment, serving clients across the UK and Continental Europe from its operations based in Aldershot and Manchester. Its strong customer base includes organisations within the medical technology and IT infrastructure sectors – both growth markets which align with Storskogen’s long-term investment themes.
The acquisition represents a significant step in strengthening Storskogen’s UK logistics presence. Carry Gently’s operations are highly complementary to Stop Start Transport, another Storskogen subsidiary, creating opportunities for collaboration and shared expertise.
The business will continue to be led by Director John Ross and the existing management team, ensuring continuity for clients and staff. Under Storskogen’s decentralised ownership model, the team will also benefit from the additional resources and support of an international group.
“We were delighted to support the shareholders throughout the sale process and look forward to seeing Carry Gently go from strength to strength with Storskogen. Carry Gently holds a unique position in the logistics market and has built an enviable reputation for service excellence with its clients.”
