FOOD IMPORTATION
Over the years we have also helped food manufacturers and retailers import food into the UK, including herbs and spices from Asia, which have then gone on to be made into herbal teas. Importation of food can be a challenging task; especially if it is fresh, chilled or frozen. However, our food industry logistics specialists can offer customers fast and reliable supply chain solutions.
CONFECTIONERY
Some of our longest standing customers are from the food and drink industry. We work with one of the world’s largest confectionery manufacturers, and have for over 25 years, exporting their snacks and chocolate to Africa, Australia and other parts of the world. Our on-site experienced freight forwarding team work from their headquarters as part of their logistics department and supply chain management.
