UK Logistics Services
Imports
Our UK Logistics services concentrate on supplying warehousing and distribution services to the major UK supermarket groups.
As well as receiving containers from multiple worldwide locations via major UK Ports, we also receive Trailers from suppliers from both within the EU and Non EU Countries.
It’s our job to receive containers and trailers at two locations within the UK and palletise (if required) and use our consolidation services to deliver our customers products to the UK supermarket chains

- Pallet deliveries are expensive
- Haulier will not wait past 30 mins of booking time
- Goods get returned to hub and customer is charged for outward and return journey
- Goods need to be re-booked, customer receives notice of delivery failure
- Charged again for re-delivery
