Following the hive-up earlier this year, Howard Tenens Logistics and Howard Tenens Property will now operate as a single entity, marking a significant milestone in the group’s strategy to strengthen its position across the UK logistics, property, and energy sectors. From today, the company will be known simply as Howard Tenens. A single brand and logo will represent the full breadth of its capabilities, encompassing third-party logistics, commercial and residential property management and energy services under a subsidiary company, HT Power. While the visual identity has evolved, the values that have shaped the business for generations remain firmly at the core: Connected, Supportive, Progressive, and Resilient. This consolidation brings together all core elements, including warehousing, value added services, distribution, international forwarding, property, and facilities management under one clear and consistent identity, creating a more streamlined customer experience, strengthening the group’s ability to create and deliver value for our customer base. The unified structure enhances operational coherence and positions Howard Tenens for continued expansion in a rapidly evolving logistics landscape. Alongside this transition, the business will roll out a single, refreshed Howard Tenens logo to be used across all corporate communications, operations, and customer touchpoints. Jamie Hartles, Group CEO, shared: “This is about far more than a logo. It’s about bringing our services together under a single name that reflects both our heritage and our ambitions for the future, rooted in the long-standing belief that property and logistics are strongest when they work hand in hand. Howard Tenens has always been a family business guided by strong values, and this step gives us greater clarity and strength as we continue to grow and lead the industry. We’re excited to begin this next chapter and the opportunities it creates for our people, our customers, and our future.” Karl Hodgkinson, Group Development, Marketing & Innovation Director, stated: “Howard Tenens remains committed to delivering high-quality, sustainable, and customer-focused services across the UK, underpinned by decades of expertise and a long-term commitment to responsible and sustainable growth. The refreshed brand identity began rolling out across all channels in December 2025, and will continue to be implemented throughout 2026”. Howard Tenens Unifies Brands Following Consolidation
