Freight Forwarding in Brighton: Speed and Expertise
Brighton's strategic location between two major ports (Shoreham and Newhaven) and direct road links to Gatwick Airport (25 minutes south) and Heathrow (via the M23–M25 corridor, approximately 90 minutes) make it a vital hub for freight forwarding. T&C Logistics operates across 30+ UK cities, with specialist coverage of the South East, enabling rapid consolidation, customs clearance, and onward air freight dispatch for businesses of all sizes.
Our freight forwarding operation in Brighton handles an average of 42+ shipments weekly, ranging from small parcels to full pallet loads.
