Global Forwarding

We undertake international freight transportation, moving goods across global markets by air, sea, road and rail. Operate across 150 different markets with local teams of experts helping ensure goods get transported safely from one country to the next. This is all delivered by a committed and highly experienced team of professionals.

Steve Williams CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

During 2022 Global Forwarding was focussed on navigating difficult market conditions as the world moved out of pandemic restrictions. We also made our largest ever acquisition with the purchase of Fast Forward Freight and we opened up our regional structures across UK, Europe, Middle East, Africa, South East Asia and Greater China.

Our focus in 2023 is to continue growth across all freight forwarding products. In addition we will continue our global network development, adding a mixture of new countries and expansion within existing countries. In the UK and Europe we will complete the integration of both Fast Forward Freight and Allport Netherlands.

Enhancing our Supply Chain Management into a global proposition across new sectors will be another focus for this year. Ocean Freight services will be modernised to deliver the ambition to handle over a million TEUs per year and we will consolidate global air services towards the end of this year. This will all be underpinned by leveraging current and new technology to fully digitise the freight forwarding process and realise all the optimisation benefits increasing our productivity globally.
