Administrator.uk says its transport and logistics list was last updated on 17 June and includes 30 companies that have entered administration in 2026, including three so far in June. The category covers road, rail, sea, air and warehousing businesses, rather than road haulage alone.
The June entries listed by the tracker are Techlogico Limited, Sunhill Transport Ltd and Nationwide Self-Storage Limited. Other transport and logistics companies listed for 2026 include Instant Despatch Services Limited, MJ Haulage Ltd, Suma Logistics Ltd, Eagle One Delivery Ltd, Martyn Barratt Transport Limited, UK Drivers and Logistics Solutions Ltd, Grays Transport (Derbyshire) Limited and C&L Transport Services Ltd.
The figures should not be read as a haulier-only insolvency count. Administrator.uk’s transport and logistics category also includes adjacent areas such as warehousing, aviation, fulfilment, self-storage and parking. However, the list provides another indicator of financial strain across the wider sector at a time when operators continue to face weak freight demand, volatile fuel costs, labour pressures, insurance costs and tight margins.
Official insolvency data also points to a difficult trading environment. According to the Insolvency Service, there were 2,085 company insolvencies in England and Wales in April 2026, 2% higher than in March and 3% higher than in April 2025. The April figure included lower numbers of administrations than in March, but higher numbers of creditors’ voluntary liquidations and compulsory liquidations.
Road transport operators have also warned that rising fuel costs are putting pressure on cashflow and survival prospects. A recent RHA survey found that 84% of respondents had seen reduced margins, while 56.8% reported cashflow pressure. More than 90% of the 550 responses came from SME fleets, according to the association.
The RHA said earlier this month that fuel prices had risen by 35% since the start of the Middle East conflict three months earlier, and called for an Essential User Rebate to reduce the cost burden on firms moving goods and passengers.
The administration tracker also includes several names already familiar to the road transport sector. Martyn Barratt Transport, for example, entered administration in April, with PKF SC Advisory appointed as joint administrators through the High Court. Paperwork filed after the appointment indicated that assets had been freed up for a deal involving Zero Degree Logistics Ltd.
