We are specialists in transport between the UK and mainland Europe and operate daily routes back and forth. In addition to England, we also transport to Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland. In many cases, your goods are transported to the UK in trailers via ferry. From there, the trailers are delivered through a dense distribution network to the right location at the right time.
Road transport in the UK
RRoad transport is the standard in the UK. Approximately 65% of freight transport takes place over land. Although the motorways are often four lanes wide and connect all major cities, the road density in the UK is somewhat lower than in the Netherlands and neighbouring countries. Nevertheless, destinations throughout the UK are generally easily accessible. We therefore recommend checking with us regarding precise delivery times and schedules.
We are particularly strong in food transport, tree transport, and the transport of flower bulbs, nursery products, garden plants and general trade goods.

We handle the paperwork
IIf you do not regularly transport to the UK, it is good to know that we can support you with all customs formalities and related administration. For example, we can assist with preparing export declarations.
All goods entering the United Kingdom must be cleared by a UK customs agent. We can support you with this process as well.
For the transport of nursery products, such as trees and plants, a phytosanitary certificate is often required in addition to the standard documentation. We guide you through this process and ensure that you obtain the correct certification.
