Industries
Sectors we move freight for.
Every industry has its own failure points. Knowing them in advance is most of what a good forwarder is for.
Automotive and vehicle trade
The UK exports tens of thousands of used cars, vans, trucks and buses each year, and the trade runs on margin and turnaround. We handle repeat vehicle export programmes with consolidated collection from auctions and trade sellers, weekly RoRo space on the main African, Caribbean and Middle Eastern lanes, and bills of lading issued to match letters of credit. For dealers moving prestige and classic stock, we quote enclosed container shipping alongside so the value of the vehicle is matched by the method.
Construction, plant and machinery
Plant freight fails on dimensions and cleanliness more than anything else. We measure units properly, advise on whether RoRo, flat rack or breakbulk is the right method, produce lashing plans for the carrier's surveyor and arrange pre-export cleaning with photographic evidence where the destination has biosecurity requirements. For site deliveries we manage abnormal load permits, escorts and receiving cranes as a project rather than a booking.
Agriculture
Agricultural machinery attracts the strictest inspection regimes in the world because of the soil, seed and plant residue it carries. Tractors, combines, balers, sprayers and implements all need cleaning to a standard most owners underestimate, and headers usually travel separately. We tell you what your destination will look for and arrange the clean before the machine leaves the UK rather than after it has been quarantined.
Manufacturing, retail and energy
Manufacturers and retailers need predictability more than the lowest rate: known cut-offs, known transits and a forwarder who flags a rolled vessel the day it happens. We run regular FCL and airfreight programmes with agreed rates, consolidate multi-supplier loads at UK warehouses, and handle the customs entries alongside. Energy and industrial projects get project management, surveys and heavy lift coordination.
