Logistics at Christmas

The Holiday Season is crucial to the economy with around 30% of annual sales occurring between Black Friday and Christmas, and for retailers such as jewellers it’s even higher at nearer 40%.

This means for freight forwarders such as us, it’s a busy time, moving goods and products from manufacturers to and from the UK, and in and out of storage facilities, the CRM drivers and warehouse team are on their toes managing stock and ensuring goods arrive and are despatched safely and on time to retailers and customers.

Meanwhile in the office, the freight teams are busy negotiating the best rates with our partners and suppliers, the forecast is that ocean freight is expected to stay seasonably low, and currently transportation by air is good value, which is all good news for companies with products and goods to sell abroad.
