Scheduled & First Flights
We are well connected! As an independent freight forwarder, with a global network of partner agents to support our team, GCL have access to and visibility of the whole of the marketplace. That means we can hand-pick the best route for your needs.
​
If your goods require urgent exportation/importation, our friendly team can arrange for first flight services to ensure quick delivery.
Domestic Distribution
Whether you're exporting or importing, once your cargo touches the ground, we can arrange for domestic distribution from the airport to addresses, warehouses and venues of your choice.
​
Our domestic distribution service comprises both rail and road freight, or a mixture of the two.
Warehousing & Storage
Not yet ready to receive your consignment? No problem at all. We can provide storage in our 55,000sq ft secure warehouse, saving you money on heavy port storage costs.
​
When your consignment is stored at our facility, we can arrange to break bulk and ship to multiple destinations, storing buffer stock and shipping to you on a just in time basis. What works best for you?
Customs Clearance
GCL have 'badges' at all major UK ports and airports, so are ideally placed to help you navigate customs and HMRC.
To save you time, money and ensure a streamlined delivery, we can complete customs forms and submit them to HMRC on your behalf, using our web-based customs software.
Once submitted, entry and release can take anywhere from 1 to 48hrs, depending on the route selected and examination requirements.
​
At GCL, we take a proactive approach, collecting and processing documentation before arrival to minimise both admin and storage costs for our customers.
