What makes us tick?
At Good Logistics, our values are the heart of everything we do, revolving around a genuine desire to support those around us whilst building for the future.
We value people
We are human, and so are you. Treating our partners, colleagues and communities with respect, honesty and warmth comes first in everything we do. Whether that is providing customers with exceptional service, encouraging creativity within our teams, supporting the successful careers of our people, or giving our local communities a helping hand.
We look ahead
The world never stops moving, so neither do we. Our culture of encouraging innovation, welcoming new ideas, challenging the status quo and investing in modern technology ensures constant improvement, because delivering a bright and positive future for our partners, colleagues and communities really matters to us.
We act responsibly
Balancing forward thinking with sensible decision-making is one of the reasons we’ve been here since 1833. We are committed to building sustainable long-term growth for our partners, colleagues, communities and environment, and we consider it our duty to always act with integrity, fairness and respect in all of our actions, with the highest regard for laws and regulations.
A great place to work
Good Logistics relies on great people. We have a range of career opportunities for talented professionals looking for a future in the logistics industry. With an exclusive benefits package including pension, life assurance, health cash plan, high street discounts and more. If you’re driven, positive, like to succeed and thrive on a challenge, a career at Good Logistics could be the opportunity you’re looking for.
Delivering a brighter future for our communities…
We created The Matthew Good Foundation to make a meaningful impact in our communities, whilst empowering our employees to support the causes they care about.
We put an increasing percentage of our profits into the Foundation every year. Since its formation in 2011 The Foundation has donated more than £450,000 to charitable causes, with a record £85,000 in 2020.
…and for our environment
Reducing our environmental impact is an integral part of our business strategy. We work with clients to reduce the environmental impact of their logistics requirements through reporting, carbon offsetting and promoting alternative solutions. We also continually monitor and improve performance, increase employee awareness and training, and continue to invest in initiatives such as:
- Renewable energy (solar energy at our Head Office)
- Electric vehicle charging points in our head office car parks
- Rated “Good” and awarded the bronze standard by EcoVadis
- Waste reduction initiatives and recycling
- Sustainable procurement, such as replacing Euro 5 trucks with Euro 6 models
Born in 1833
The origin of John Good Logistics Limited started 188 years ago, in 1833. Through the years, we have made many successful company developments and expanded from a ships chandlery, in 1833, to a modern multi-modal third party logistics provider today. Our rich heritage is something we are proud of, and it has made us who we are today.
You can learn more about our history by visiting the History Centre in Hull, which possesses many of the artefacts and photos from our history.
