In the first twelve years of operation our client base has grown more than six-fold, many of whom have been acquired by recommendation – our biggest reward being the knowledge that our customers achieve complete satisfaction with our services.
Here are some of the comments recorded from some of our clients.
"I would like to say that your team put up with a great deal of time wasting nonsense during their work, and handle it very well indeed for us 99.99% of the time and still deliver. That makes you and your team 'AAA' to me and I am very grateful that you all pulled the stops out to do what you did when it mattered, and I know you still had your day to complete on top of that. It's good to know that when you are a point down, you find a way to still win the game in the last 3 minutes and produce two back of the net shots in a row. Today did that for me and my customer. Many thanks.

"Dear Phil,
In the days of sorting out complaints, here is a compliment. I live between Manchester and a remote village on the Slovak-Hungarian border, and have used your services on two occasions, most recently last week to export my car. It is gratifying in this day and age to deal with a company who take things seriously and look after your interests. In particular, I have twice dealt with Mike Whitney, your Sales Manager, and found him to be the ultimate professional, knowledgeable, experienced and good to deal with. He reflects great credit on your operation. He makes you feel as if he is personally taking care of your goods, and inspires confidence in the arrangements. I look forward to a continued relationship.

"We have worked with Ital Logistics for quite some time now and can honestly say that we are happy to call them our 'preffered haulier'. The staff are friendly and informative and have assisted us many times with urgent and regular movements. Having dealt with quite aA few different transporters the personal touch that you are given from Ital is definitely one of the main reasons we continue to use them, advice when goods have been collected via email or phone and when they will be delivered is not something I have experienced with many other companies and this is a very important part of our movements to both us and our customers.
I have no problem in recommending this company to any potential client and would say that the competitive prices they offer does in no way reflect the service that you receive, if you're looking for a good price and a top class service then Ital logistics is the company to offer this to you.

"Hi Phil.
Just to show that we do read your newsletter! I cant believe its 10 years since you started and we were one of your first customers! Well 10 years down the line we are still giving you all of our work and I am pleased to say we receive great service and help from all of your colleagues! They are always ready to do that little bit extra when we are against it, and that’s what counts!"

"Morning Andrew
This is just a quick note to say thanks for getting our delivery here so quickly. It’s just been tipped and we’re on with fulfilling our customer’s orders early! You’re helping to make us look good. Thanks again! Best Regards,"
Sam Greenwood-Thompson, Rubber Flooring Company. 16/09/2010
"Dear Phil, The enclosed gift comes with a (virtual) handshake and sincere thanks for the support that Ital Logistics has shown us over the years that your company has serviced our freight forwarding needs. You undoubtedly have a very professional team, who are a credit to you and your company. It is due to them that we have experienced many successful consignments, delivered safely, on time and at value-for-money costs.
Because of your company’s unstinting service, we have in turn grown our own business during the time of our association. It is due to the above that we feel extremely grateful and hope that you will accept the enclosed with our heartfelt good wishes for the future. Congratulations on your first 10 years!

"I hope you’re well & keeping busy?
I’m emailing to let you know how pleased I am with the service I have received from James in your office this morning. He has somehow managed to get a lorry in to collect a machine at the NEC this afternoon after being given no prior notice! How good is that? It has saved Andrew staying down in Birmingham another day & my stress levels returning to normal!! Always a bonus! The level of service we receive from Steve & Kurtis is always brilliant and now James … what a team you have!"
Karen, Tarrant Machines Ltd. 26/05/2010
"Dear Mike and Tony. We are writing this note as we know everybody gives hassle to companies if something does not go right but feel that some recognition should be made and praise given when those same companies go that extra bit to assist their customers which certainly shines through with yourselves and the enthusiasm you both show. You are a credit to Ital Logistics.
Since moving to using your company in our Plastics business we have nothing but praise for you both. There are times when you have gone out of your way to assist us above the call of duty and this has been very much appreciated. You keep us informed every step of the way regarding shipments whereas we have dealt with companies who lack in communication. You are both so pleasant and helpful and it is a joy working with you.
We have no problem in recommending you to our associate companies/suppliers/customers and wish you good luck for continued success and growth."
Shirley - PTI Plastics Limited. 01/04/2010
"Dear Mike, thank you for your letter dated 4th September. Our association with Ital-Logistics was a result of an approach for potential business by Andy Brookes.
So far I have only used the services of your company for deliveries into Italy and the quality of service provided by Ital logistics and standard of communication both from Andy and Dean Emsley has been exemplary! Please pass on my personal thanks to Andy and Dean."
John Dent. Graphoidal. 09/09/2009
"Thank you Mike. Brilliant service!! It's good that we have a company we can rely on to get the goods to the customer, in this case 2 days before I advised them. It makes us look good also!!!"
Joanne, Metalube. 08/07/2009
"Many thanks Mike - another sterling job! Excellent commnunication. Stick a gold star to your forehead."
Gary Wilson, Cardinal Maritime. 31/03/09.
"Hi Tony
Can I say what a pleasant experience this consignment has been. I will keep in touch for any other free shipments that I have.
Thank you"
Christine Ashton, Francis Searchlight Ltd. 30/03/09.
"I just had to write to you to advise you of the excellent service I have been receiving from Mike Whitney. I have been exporting for over 4 years now and I must admit that Mike is such a breath of fresh air to the industry. Why, quite simply because he cares about offering only the finest service to his customers, most of the time doing things well above and beyond the call of duty. Please pass my sincere thanks back to Mike as I know people these days are very quick to criticise yet very rare to praise. Mike deserves much more than my thanks due to the sincere professionalism he has offered from day one, long may this continue."
Matt Lenton, Overseas Sales Manager, Safety Screens. 26/11/2007.
"We use Ital logistics for all our shipping needs primarily because they provide a first class, reliable service. They are totally committed and customer focused, keeping you fully informed of your shipment from start to finish. Tony Burrows is my contact and in the past he has pulled out all the stops to meet some very tight deadlines! I take comfort from this and it makes my job easier knowing that Tony is at the other end of the telephone offering his expertise"
Susan Harrison, Cyberoptics. 13/11/2007.
"Phil. I would like you to pass on my thanks to Derek Heap. On Friday night and Saturday, Derek helped solve a problem on a delivery to Milan - it was much appreciated. If the delivery had failed, it would have caused severe problems for one of our major clients. Thanks again."
Archie, Streamline Shipping. 01/10/2007.
"Dear Daniel. We just wanted to let you know that we are extremely impressed with your superior customer service. We are very ingratiated to you, for your attention, your expertise and your follow up."
Matteo & Anne-Marie Magnanini. 14/5/2007.
"You may not remember me, but I met you at the Dolce Vita Exhibition at the Olympia about 18 months ago and I took one of your cards."
"I have been dealing with a very nice gentleman - Daniel Bradshaw, who arranged everything to perfection, getting the goods picked up from my home, and the delivery to Italy all went without any problems, especially as this all happened just before and after Christmas. I am so grateful for his assistance in getting my goods out safe and on time."
Mr Montague. January 2007.
"Dear Mr Tony Burrows. If every forwarder was as good as Ital Logistics the world be so much better. The goods have arrived home, and they are on their way to the production line. Thank you for the good work. José Monteiro."
