Services

What we handle for business customers

Employee relocation: When your staff relocate internationally, we collect their personal effects from their UK home and ship to the destination — leaving them free to travel light. Transfer of Residence (ToR) guidance included for returning or relocating employees.

Trade samples and exhibition freight: Product samples, exhibition stands and demonstration equipment shipped ahead of trade shows. Time-critical despatch from Heathrow with full documentation support.

Equipment despatch: Tools, machinery parts, IT equipment and medical devices to overseas offices, projects and clients. We advise on export documentation, lithium battery restrictions and packaging requirements.

Seasonal and contract worker baggage: Volume programmes for agricultural, hospitality and construction employers moving worker baggage at season start and end.

University and education sector: International staff relocations, student group programmes and inter-campus equipment moves.
