Welcome to Karen Ellis Consulting Ltd
Smarter Transport. Stronger Networks. Proven Results.
With over 36 years in the transport industry, I help businesses build, optimise, and scale operations — efficiently, sustainably, and profitably.
From global freight and shipping to roadside recovery, vehicle salvage, multi-load logistics, storage, and recycling, I’ve worked across every layer of the supply chain. That depth of experience now powers a bespoke consultancy service designed specifically for small and medium transport operators who want to move faster, smarter, and stronger.
Whether you’re starting up, scaling up, or fixing performance gaps — I bring clarity, structure and solutions that work in the real world.
