Superior business characteristics provide market barriers for competitors:

Track record - E&L's expertise in the tactical movement of freight, developed over 30 years in business, has allowed it to sell up the value chain. By advising on quicker lanes and cost-efficient routes, E&L's strategic services have made it a valued partner to its customers.

Partnerships - E&L has been successful from moving its customers from a conventional customer-supplier relationship to a true partnership. It achieves this by helping customers identify and solve their supply chain problems.
