International shipping inherently involves risk, that’s why we make sure your consignment enjoys a smooth delivery.
Flexible and reliable, we are proud of our ever-expanding, cost-effective road haulage business. Our road freight services to European destinations include weekly import and export services to Greece (and the Greek Islands) and regular transportation to Bulgaria and Turkey via our own express contracted trailers.
Other countries, such as Eastern Europe, the Baltic, Scandinavia, and Spain, have frequent arrangements with our trusted and efficient hauliers.
Other areas are available upon request under our road freight services and overland rail train transportation is utilised where relevant.
We are accustomed to catering for special size and equipment considerations, including the size, weight, temperature control, protective packing required for all the cargo that we are charged with transporting.

We’ll Take Care of All the Paperwork for Your Peace of Mind
International trade and exporting and importing naturally comes with inevitable risk, with each country having its own legal interpretations and practices. To manage that risk and provide a universally recognised systematic approach, the International Chamber of Commerce publishes, maintains and develops Incoterms® (International Commercial Terms) rules. These Incoterms® are essential terms of trade involving the sale of goods that must be adhered to, no matter if you’re labelling and packaging a shipment for road freight transport or preparing a certificate of origin at a port.
Well versed in the world of road freight, our friendly staff ensure that:
- your shipment complies with the most up-to-date Incoterms® at every stage of the process.
- where necessary, that a letter of credit (one of the most secure methods of payment for exporters) is sent with the corresponding shipment. Letters of Credit provide proof that the bank will guarantee that the seller will receive payment due from the buyer, within the specified time frame, provided they meet the bank’s terms and conditions.
- your consignment is allocated to the correct CMR – transport consignment note – which is one of the most important documents in Road Freight as it provides evidence of Contract of Carriage and proof of receipt of Goods.
Our tried and tested results-driven approach is underpinned by customer care, ensuring we always enjoy good relationships with all customers no matter what consignment they are transporting.
