In February 2024 the company changed its name to re?ect the new direction in which the company was heading, opening offices at Heathrow and Southampton.
Due to the length of time the company has been trading along with its strong ?nancial position it quickly and effortlessly obtained IATA accreditation with CASS accounts for Exports and Imports along with Customs badges at Heathrow, Southampton, Felixstowe and London Gateway.
