We are one of only a few freight companies offering a truly one-stop-shop for those involved in the manufacturer of goods and suppliers to the group in the UK. If you are looking for an integrated, timely, cost effective logistics service, you have come to the right place. We do not operate in the same way as a general pallet network delivery system, we consolidate on behalf of many different customers in our warehouse for delivery to every RDC.

To do so could affect our customers and impact upon their relationship with the group.

Rejection of Full Loads at RDC’s
In the event of direct deliveries in FCL or FTL getting rejected at an RDC, we provide regional repack, re-stack & redelivery services near to every RDC in the UK. This allows the group to take off what they are happy to do so and prevents the whole load getting rejected. We then work with the shipper/importer etc. to find a local solution to allow fulfilment of the order.
