International Shipping and Logistics

Johnson Partners is an established, independent freight forwarder covering all aspects of Shipping and Logistics for a worldwide customer base.

Whether you work for a multinational, or are a business owner with limited international shipping experience, we will work alongside you to provide peace of mind and relieve the pressure of organising logistics.

We will take care of all international shipping and transport arrangements, holding your hand throughout the collection and delivery process to avoid potential problems.

Each day we strive to become the answer to the question... 'Who is the best freight forwarder in the UK?'

Bringing Projects Together

We will work as part of your project management team from the planning stages through to delivery, ensuring that shipments and logistical arrangements are in place to fit into your schedule.

Our international experience includes high profile construction and infrastructure development programmes, bringing projects together in extremely challenging environments.

Projects have involved working alongside dismantling companies in moving large, heavy pieces of equipment on flat racks and open top containers, shipping expensive and fragile pieces of artwork to the USA and co-ordinating collections of various equipment around Europe to be manufactured in the UK for onward shipment to China.

Handling Abnormal Loads

Over-weight, over-width and over-height should not mean over-priced.

With our industrial track record, we are specialists in handling abnormal loads, helping clients when moving heavy equipment and out of gauge cargo door to door.

Whether dealing with smaller but bulky and awkward consignments or moving large machinery such as cranes, drilling rigs and project cargo, we can recommend what types of transport are suitable based on speed, security, cost or whatever your priority is.

Delivering for industry

Our core values and commitment to learn from our mistakes have enabled us to keep improving our service, despite an ever changing political and industrial landscape

We check each collection and delivery to pre-empt any potential problems immediately and don’t just sit back and react to problems when you need us to tackle them head on.

We believe in effective preparation and organisation to try to avoid delays and unnecessary charges.

We don’t adopt a call centre customer service approach. You will speak to the same small, dedicated operations team who will provide clear advice and communication whenever you need it.

By taking care of your valuable cargo, we can take the pressure off you and your business.
