VLT Logistics: Proud Patrons of The Principle Trust Children’s Charity

VLT Logistics is proud to be a leader in distribution and warehousing solutions and a dedicated supporter of our local community. We are thrilled to announce that we are now patrons of The Principle Trust Children’s Charity, an incredible organisation providing essential respite for children who are underprivileged, disadvantaged, disabled, or facing poverty, trauma, or abuse. 

This partnership aligns with our core values as a family-run business, trusted across the region and beyond for our unparalleled distribution and warehousing solutions. In addition to our comprehensive logistics services, it is our deep understanding of the industry and genuine care for our community and customers that sets us apart. 

Founded in 1996 by Vernon Land, VLT has evolved from a one-man operation with a single 7.5-ton wagon into a multi-million-pound enterprise with 500,000 sq. ft of modern warehousing and a fleet of over 40 vehicles. Today, the company employs 65 staff members under the leadership of Managing Director Andrew Land, who proudly continues his father’s legacy. 

As West Yorkshire’s trusted logistics company, our continued success allows us to deepen our focus on local initiatives. Supporting The Principle Trust and its plans to expand across Yorkshire is just one small way for us to give back, and we feel incredibly fortunate to be in a position to help them help others. 

The Principle Trust Children’s Charity, established by Ilkley businessman Mike Davies, MBE, was launched in 2011. Since then, the Trust has raised over £1.7m, developed a portfolio of holiday homes, and provided respite breaks for more than 5,000 children across the Yorkshire region.

Welcoming the announcement, Mr. Davies said,

‘We are delighted that VLT has joined The Principle Trust as a patron; they are a leading logistics firm with an excellent reputation. This new partnership further solidifies the Trust’s plans to expand services across the Yorkshire region.’

Andrew Land, Managing Director of VLT Logistics, added,

‘As a family business, we are pleased to support The Principle Trust in helping disadvantaged families escape their everyday troubles and create valuable, happy memories.’
