CS Ellis Logistics team at South Luffenham
A family-run logistics partner built on trust since 1933
CS Ellis Logistics is a family-run logistics business supporting customers with ambient warehousing, UK distribution, palletised freight, dedicated transport and value-added logistics services.
Founded in 1933, we have grown from a local transport business into a trusted logistics partner for businesses across the UK. Today, we operate from well-connected sites in the East Midlands, providing practical, dependable support for customers who need their stock stored, handled and delivered properly.
We are still proudly family owned and hands-on. That matters to us, and it matters to our customers. It means decisions are made by people who are close to the operation, close to the customer and close to the detail.
Practical logistics, properly managed
At CS Ellis, we support customers who need more than space on a shelf or a vehicle on the road.
Many of the businesses we work with need a logistics partner who can manage the full picture: inbound goods, stock control, storage, order picking, pallet distribution, timed deliveries, retail requirements, compliance, reporting and day-to-day communication.
That is where we add value.
Our team works across warehousing, transport, customer service, compliance, fleet, health and safety and IT to keep goods moving smoothly. We understand that logistics is often judged on the small details: the booking reference, the delivery window, the label, the paperwork, the stock accuracy and the ability to respond when plans change.
Family-run since 1933
Warehousing and distribution from the East Midlands
Our location gives customers strong access to the UK road network, making CS Ellis well placed for national warehousing and distribution.
We provide ambient warehousing for a wide range of products, including FMCG, food-grade and consumer goods, with the systems, processes and people needed to manage stock carefully and efficiently.
For customers looking to combine storage with outbound delivery, we can support an integrated warehousing and UK distribution solution. This is often where we are at our strongest, helping businesses reduce complexity by keeping storage, handling and transport under one experienced team

A dependable partner for growing businesses
We are well suited to businesses that need responsive, flexible and carefully managed logistics support.
That may be a brand moving into larger volumes, a manufacturer looking for better UK distribution, a business reviewing its existing warehouse provider, or a customer that needs more control, visibility and communication from its logistics partner.
We work particularly well with customers who value long-term relationships, direct contact and practical problem-solving. We are large enough to offer capacity, systems and compliance, but still close enough to stay personal, accountable and hands-on.
For many customers, logistics becomes more challenging as volumes grow. Stockholding increases, delivery requirements become more complex, customer expectations rise and the need for accurate information becomes more important. At that point, businesses need a logistics partner who can do more than simply provide space or transport.
CS Ellis can support customers with a joined-up approach across warehousing, stock handling, pallet distribution and transport. This helps reduce complexity, improve communication and give customers a clearer view of how their goods are being managed.
We are also used to working with businesses where requirements change. That might mean seasonal peaks, promotional activity, new product launches, changing retail requirements or a need to respond quickly when plans move. Our role is to provide practical support, sensible communication and an operation that can adapt where needed.
Customers choose CS Ellis because they want a logistics partner they can speak to, trust and build with over time.
Warehousing, transport and fulfilment working together
Compliance, care and continuous improvement
Our operation is supported by recognised standards, structured processes and a strong focus on doing things properly.
From BRCGS storage and distribution standards to fleet compliance, health and safety, training, environmental improvements and operational reporting, we continue to invest in the areas that matter to our customers.
For customers, this means confidence that goods are being handled within a controlled operation, supported by documented procedures, regular checks, internal reviews and external verification where required. It also means we can support customer audits, supplier onboarding and the evidence larger organisations often need from their logistics partners.
Compliance is not just a certificate on the wall. It is part of how goods are received, stored, picked, checked, loaded, delivered and reported every day.
As customer requirements, regulations and industry expectations change, we continue to review and improve the way we work, so the operation remains safe, reliable and fit for the customers we support.
Built on trust, delivered by people who care
For more than 90 years, CS Ellis has built its reputation on reliability, service and long-term relationships.
One of the biggest strengths of the business is its people. Many of the team have spent years building their knowledge across warehousing, transport, fleet, customer service and operations. That experience gives customers confidence that their stock is being looked after by people who understand the job and care about getting it right.
When customers work with CS Ellis, they are not dealing with a faceless network. They are dealing with real people who know the operation, know the customer and take ownership of the detail.
The logistics industry has changed dramatically since the business began in 1933, but the principles remain the same: look after the customer, look after the goods, communicate clearly and do what you say you are going to do.
That is still how we work today.
