History / Background of Benfleet

Benfleet Forwarding was formed as a company in 1987. Our principal activity was operating transportation services to and from Northern Europe but we soon became involved in Ocean Freight shipments.

We became prominent in the movement of clothing, which requires a high level of security and speed. This led us to begin operating our own services to Cyprus,Greece and Italy in the mid-nineties and more recently we have commenced a service from Turkey which is also very much associated with the garment industry. Although clothing shipments are still a major factor in our business we are able to transport any commodity. We are now very active in the shipping of machinery and hazardous products and many of our drivers are ADR trained.

The Directors of our company each have more than twenty years experience in freight transportation services and are all directly involved in the day-to-day operations. None of us hide behind voice mail or secretaries and are always available to discuss any aspect of your requirements.

If you require a visit to discuss your needs further we will not send a salesperson, we will send a professional expert.
