Andante Freight Ltd are experienced and reputable freight forwarders who have been offering reliable sea freight and RoRo, road freight, air freight, export and import services to happy customers for almost 30 years.
Strategically located in Bradford, West Yorkshire, the business was established in 1994 by Roger Carrington and Julian Steel. Over the years we have grown into one of the leading consolidators of groupage cargo to the main Mediterranean ports, before expanding our services in later years to include The Middle East, Indian sub-continent and The Far East.
In August 2022 Andante Freight Ltd became the latest acquisition of EFS GLOBAL Group of Companies which further enriches our global reach and services to the added benefit of all our clients, new and old.
Why Choose Our Freight Forwarding Services?
- Wide-ranging Coverage – areas our freight forwarding services cover include: the Mediterranean, Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, and the Far East.
- Value-Added Service – with owned offices and our own circa 15,000 square foot warehouse in Bradford we are based where our goods are, increasing the efficiency of our services.
- No Job Too Big or Too Small – our wide customer base is a testament to the fact that our staff will happily help anyone, from single-person operations to multi-national customers!
- Qualified – rather than having to outsource to a qualified individual, our site-based Commercial Director, Richard Crossland, is a qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA), meaning we can ship hazardous cargo when required.
- Strong Partnerships – we enjoy strong ties with all our trusted partners and overseas agents, many of whom we have built both business and personal relationships with over a number of many years, enabling us to pass on the positive benefits of these relationships to you – our customer.
- Consistency – our staff turnover is extremely low, so customers benefit from liaising with the familiar and friendly faces of our trusted and professional staff.
- Knowledgeable – many of our motivated, qualified and committed staff have worked in freight forwarding for most of their working life, earning them exceptional industry experience.
- Hands-on – all of our experienced operational staff are directly involved in the day to day running of our services from start to finish, ensuring our customers receive a high quality, personal service at all times.
Success has not only come through hard work and dedication of all the company’s personnel but from a commitment by the owners to continue investment into resources to provide solutions to our customers’ needs.
We offer a comprehensive range of services from port-to-port to door-to-door. Whatever your requirements, Andante Freight Ltd is there to assist you and provide a solution.
Likewise, we only work with agents who have similar attributes to ourselves so that if you encounter a problem, which can happen in international trade, you can be sure that we will work together in resolving it quickly and efficiently.
