Background:

LNE are a family run transport and logistics business, based in the North East. They provide a range of services across the UK including palletised distribution, dedicated transport, warehousing and general haulage. LNE over the years have grown steadily by focusing on delivering a reliable service and building strong relationships with their customers.

Why Penumbra?:

  1. Understanding the business - Chris (Finance Director at LNE) was looking for a brokerage that was easy to deal with, responsive and willing to work with the businesses growing plans

  2. Support - opportunities don’t always come with months of notice, LNE needed a funding partner who understands that and can move at pace.

Our Impact:

In 2026, Penumbra has funded ten assets for LNE which has enabled them to win new work and meet demand of existing customers. LNE with the help of Penumbra has increased the number of vehicles on their Operators Licence from 13 to 20 - which has allowed them to take on more work and continue to grow their business.

“Quite simply, having access to funding has helped turn opportunities into reality. Knowing we can rely on them when opportunities arise gives us the confidence to keep investing and growing.”
