We specialise in freight transportation between the UK and the Balkans and Eastern Europe, and cross-trades to Western Europe
John Shirley has over 15 years experience of handing freight to and from the states of former Yugoslavia: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Kosovo. From our hub in Serbia, we provide a resource for European continental shipments and manage freight forwarding to countries such as Albania, Italy, Belarus and Ukraine.
We speak the local languages and have a firm grasp of cross border shipments across Europe and into Russia and the countries of the FSU. We know how to best get all types of goods collected or delivered quickly, safely and efficiently.
We have good relationships with the major UK shipping lines and work with reliable and time-trusted hauliers from throughout the Balkans. We are the key to the transportation of millions of pounds worth of goods for commercial organisations and multinational charitable bodies. From our base at Maritime House in Dover, we oversee the loading, transit and discharge of over 25 trucks and containers a week to destinations throughout the European continent.
