Lessons in Entrepreneurship: A Decade of Determination with Gavin
In this blog post, we sat down with Gavin Burgess, the Founder and Managing Director of The Silver X Group. We had the opportunity to learn about his incredible journey as an entrepreneur, the obstacles he encountered and the invaluable advice he has for those just starting on their entrepreneurial journey.
Should I use an External Warehouse Provider?
When evaluating internal storage and warehousing capabilities, businesses commonly face the choice of building or expanding their own warehouse or to begin outsourcing to external warehousing providers. This discussion will delve into the benefits of opting for an external provider, emphasising how they can reduce costs, enhance scalability, and streamline the distribution process.
The Best Way to Transport Your Pallets
Efficient logistics, robust road haulage and reliable pallet distribution are all pivotal components of modern-day supply chains. As per the latest statistics from the UK Department for Transport, a staggering 175 billion tonnes of goods traversed UK roadways in 2022, with UK registered Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) covering 19.5 billion kilometres in distance. This distance equates to a journey to the sun and back an astounding 65 times.
The Silver X Group and Bow Distribution Summer Fun Day
This year the Silver X Group celebrates 10 years of business, whilst Bow Distribution and Warehousing celebrates 25 extraordinary years.
To celebrate these remarkable achievements, we are organising a Summer Event Fun Day at Amber Valley Rugby Club. This event promises to be a fantastic day of excitement, and fun.

COVID19 Service Update
Whilst it isn’t quite business as usual here (or anywhere else) we are still offering a full range of direct delivery, warehousing and fulfilment services during the Coronavirus emergency. Vehicle availability is good across our fleet and response times are short, including our pallet network operation. We also still have access to a limited amounts of storage space across our sites.
