With over 20 years’ experience in freight and logistics, the majority of which has been in the ocean freight environment and specifically the LCL product, in the UK and overseas, we are pleased to introduce our new Senior LCL Commercial Manager, Jane Kenny, who is leading this critical service area.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our comprehensive LCL services provide predictability and reliability at a competitive price. Flexible solutions, which are integrated within our global sea freight network to provide fully-managed, adaptable, reliable and customisable solutions, that meet the demands of the most demanding supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking about ‘LCL Shipping’ or ‘Groupage Shipping\u2019, when we literally group your goods with other consignments, that need to take the same route, to make up full containers, Jane said. \u201cOur focus within LCL is on offering cost savings and sustainable solutions, especially where customers are shipping under-utilised containers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
