OXFORD, United Kingdom, March 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Unipart, the supply chain performance improvement partner, has today announced its full year results for 2025. This was a year defined by successful strategic transition, expansion and continued momentum in delivering The Unipart Way Forward strategy.

The company’s performance was underpinned by organic expansion with existing and new customers, strategically investing in digital transformation and technology, and a steadfast commitment to its colleagues and sustainability.

Turnover reached £991.6m (2024: £1,081.1m) and delivered an underlying profit before interest and tax of £27.9m (2024: £28.1m). The company also delivered a strong financial position through achieving a net cash surplus of £9.4m at year-end, demonstrating robust operational efficiency and capital discipline.

Darren Leigh, Unipart Chief Executive Officer, said: “I am proud of Unipart’s strong performance in 2025, demonstrating continued progress against The Unipart Way Forward strategy.

“We have significantly strengthened our pipeline, delivered strong order book growth, delivered solid earnings and cash performance, and made great progress in delivering our strategy and being a supply chain performance improvement partner for our customers.

“I would like to thank all our colleagues, partners and shareholders for their commitment and support. Continuing to develop our expertise, customer centricity and breadth of offer remains fundamental to delivering our strategy.

“In 2026, our focus on organic expansion, strategic partnerships, and ongoing investment in our people and technology, combined with our continued diversification, gives me confidence that we can navigate ongoing global supply chain instability and challenges. We are fully committed to delivering more efficient, resilient and sustainable supply chains for our customers, and long-term sustainable value for our shareholders.”

  • Key industry partnerships: Unipart became a member of the consortium appointed as the Programme Delivery Partner (PDP) for the NHS England’s New Hospital Programme (NHP) and announced a new strategic partnership with KBR for the defence sector.
  • Industry recognition: Unipart was named the top logistics provider in the UK in the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport’s (CILT) Top 30 Logistics Providers list. The CILT is the leading professional body for everyone who works in supply chain, logistics and transport.
