Plan Ahead: Your Q1 Logistics Checklist with GJS

29/12/2025

With the new year approaching, now is the perfect time to get ahead with your logistics planning. January often brings increased demand, winter weather disruptions and limited vehicle availability - all of which can create unnecessary stress if you haven’t secured your delivery plans in advance.

At GJS, we provide reliable, flexible and tailored logistics solutions across the UK to help you start Q1 with confidence.

Why Waiting Until January Can Slow You Down

Leaving your planning until the New Year can quickly lead to challenges:

Limited courier availability
Increased demand after the holiday break
Weather related delays
Higher pressure on same day services

And with delivery demand rising by around 30% in January, competition for capacity becomes even tighter.

Planning ahead allows you to secure the vehicles you need, avoid delays and keep your operations running smoothly from day one.

The Advantages of Early Planning with GJS

Booking your Q1 deliveries early gives you:

A guaranteed start to the year with secured delivery slots
