"Reading is one of the UK's top logistics hubs, and Ukraine-UK trade continues to grow despite recent disruptions.

Coverage Across Reading and the South East
We provide door-to-door pickup and delivery throughout Reading, including Tilehurst, Caversham, and the wider Berkshire region. Our local depot coordination ensures fast handover at your site — many Reading businesses receive their Ukrainian imports within 24 hours of arrival at UK ports (Southampton, Felixstowe, or London Gateway). We also offer storage and consolidation services if you need to aggregate smaller shipments before export back to Ukraine, maximising your freight efficiency and reducing per-unit costs.
From Reading, we can onward-deliver to the M4 corridor (towards London), the M3 (towards Hampshire and Sussex), and across the South East. If you're based near Slough, Swindon, or Oxford, we coordinate seamless regional transfers.
Customs Clearance & Documentation

- Duty and VAT calculation advice (we recommend consulting your accountant for final liability).
- Carnet and temporary import/export documentation for specialised cargo.
