Transport
& Logistics.

Companies are pursuing acquisitions to expand their geographic reach, integrate vertically, and adopt new technologies such as automation, AI, and real-time tracking systems.

E-commerce growth continues to fuel demand for last-mile delivery solutions, prompting strategic deals in that space.

At the same time, private equity interest remains high, particularly in asset-light logistics providers and tech-enabled platforms.

As global trade patterns shift and sustainability becomes a key priority, M&A is playing a crucial role in helping transport and logistics companies modernize operations and remain competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Nick and I are delighted to have appointed Cognos UK as lead advisors on this transaction. Andrew, Ricky and Motti were very hands-on and professional from the preparation phase all the way through to completion. Their experience, pragmatism and tenacity were vital in closing the deal. Gary Rees, Synergy Retail Group

Cognos France was recommended to us by a trusted banking partner with whom we have worked for a long time. From the very first meeting, we felt at ease and shared a number of common values. First of all, Cognos France provided us with their expertise on the various issues involved in a sale. They also played their role of facilitator between the transferee and the transferor very well. We liked their very human approach to a transaction, which can sometimes appear to be nothing more than a financial operation. Above all, their support ensured that the sale was a success Catherine LEDAIN - Seller of Mulhouse Courses
