Prior to March 2013, any Ocean Freight (and Air) movements were pretty much ad hoc. But with increasing demand from many of our existing clientele, the need for expert knowledge was clearly evident. So, March 2013, enter Andrew Knowles. Andrew had been involved in the industry for some 27 years at that time, initially as consolidator, and in the prior decade as Ocean freight forwarder in the Midlands. His valued experience in this sector has added a further dimension to the Company’s portfolio.
Following the gradual growth of sea and air movements, we were able to bring on board a second person to work alongside Andrew in January 2019. This extra capacity enabled us to double our sea export movements, and as recent as March 2020, the Company enjoyed its best sea freight result. If 2020 continues in the same vein, 2019 will be bettered by at least 50%. Plans to continue expanding on this mode are high on the agenda, especially in view of Brexit. Furthermore, Andrews extensive knowledge in custom procedures will place us in a good position post-Brexit.
