Food & Drink
Since 1987, Wallis Shipping have specialised in food logistics around the world. Being based in the East of England, Wallis are uniquely positioned among a huge agricultural, farming and food industry, and within easy reach of three of the UK’s largest ocean freight ports. Many of our clients we work with are food producers of crops and cereals from Suffolk and Norfolk, who we help export to overseas with specialist sea freight and air freight services.

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.

 COLD AND FROZEN FOOD LOGISTICS

At Wallis we also concentrate on cold and frozen food logistics. We provide food traders with technical solutions to challenges such as keeping perishable goods fresh during sea transport, with reefer containers (refrigerated transport – see reefer container specs here. We can ensure your goods are kept in a controlled temperature throughout transit, and our food industry logistics specialists can organise an uninterrupted cold chain for both fleet, packing and warehousing.

🚛We also think the facilities for our lorry drivers in this country are awful! And there's not enough spaces to stop. Drivers shouldn't have to pull over on the side of roads. Sign this petition with the @RHANews here: https://t.co/Hm8Rn1qAai https://t.co/lYv8ef9kb6
