These diaries are what founder Chris calls the “bibles of the business.” Every job completed since day one has been carefully written down, creating a unique record of the journeys, challenges and milestones that have shaped One 2 One over the last 25 years.

“I often read through my old diaries and look back at some of the jobs we have covered over the years,” Chris says. “From moving time-critical big, ugly freight for the oil and gas industry, to critical AOG aircraft engines and parts, and even paint shipments to Crimea for a warship.”

Over the years, those pages have captured countless memorable moments and “firsts” for the business.

One of Chris’s earliest milestones was organising his first air charter to Madrid, while one of the most memorable projects was delivering an exhibition shipment to Davos in Switzerland.

“That one was really cool,” Chris laughs.

Of course, logistics is rarely straightforward. Many of the shipments recorded in those diaries involved tight deadlines, unusual cargo and complex international coordination. But those challenges are exactly what have defined One 2 One’s journey.

“There have been some wonderful, challenging shipments over the years. Like I always say , we can move anything, anywhere.”

Behind every successful delivery is the strong network of partners the company has built over the past two and a half decades.

From trusted customs agents to reliable haulage partners, these relationships have played a crucial role in making even the most complex logistics possible.

As World Book Day reminds us of the power of stories, these diaries hold the real story of One 2 One Logistics – a journey built on experience, trust and a passion for getting the job done.

And if the past 25 years are anything to go by, there are still plenty more pages to write.
