What we do
Transport, logistics, and infrastructure expertise
Every project is different, but successful transport, infrastructure and development projects have one thing in common: they consider logistics from the outset.
Polaris provides independent advice on the freight and logistics implications of transport, infrastructure and development projects. We help clients understand constraints, identify opportunities and develop practical, evidence-based solutions that support better decisions.
We work with government, local authorities, infrastructure providers, developers and logistics businesses across the UK.
How we work
Polaris works flexibly to meet the needs of each client and project. We frequently lead freight and logistics studies directly for clients, while also contributing specialist expertise as part of multidisciplinary teams on larger transport and infrastructure projects.
In both roles, our focus is the same: helping clients understand the freight and logistics implications of their decisions, identify practical opportunities and develop evidence-based, deliverable solutions.
Our areas of expertise
Freight and logistics strategy
We support national, regional and local freight strategies, helping clients to understand current and future demand, identify constraints, and develop realistic and deliverable interventions.
Freight in transport and infrastructure projects
We advise on the freight and logistics implications of major transport and infrastructure schemes, ensuring freight is considered alongside passenger, environmental and economic objectives.
Urban logistics
We work with authorities, developers and businesses on consolidation, servicing strategies, delivery management and other practical approaches to urban freight challenges.
Rail freight and modal shift
We advise on rail freight opportunities and constraints, including terminals, network capability, market potential and interaction with passenger services.
Appraisal, modelling and business cases
We help ensure freight is properly represented in demand forecasting, option appraisal, modelling and business cases, working alongside transport economists and modellers where appropriate.
