Celebrating 50 Years of Transport Excellence
Hexagon International Transport is proud to announce the celebration of 50 years of transport excellence this coming August. Since its inception in 1973, our company has grown from a small office in Manchester to a multi-faceted transport service provider with a significant presence in the European freight industry.
Hexagon's 50-Year History
Founded in 1973 in Manchester, Hexagon International Transport quickly established itself as a key player in the transport industry. Our journey began with a focus on building a strong foothold in the French market, a speciality we continue to excel in today. Our dedication to providing high levels of service and excellent transit times has been the cornerstone of our success.
In 1984, we expanded our operations with the opening of a new office in Leeds, which was later relocated to Normanton. This expansion allowed us to better serve our growing customer base and enhance our service offerings.
Development of European Freight Services
Throughout the 1990s, Hexagon International Transport continued to expand its services across Europe. We introduced new routes to Scandinavia and other parts of Europe, offering express, groupage, and full load services. Today, our team of 25 dedicated employees services both multi-national corporations and privately owned firms, ensuring reliable and efficient transport solutions.
Our long-standing relationships with many customers, some spanning over 20 years, are a testament to our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.
Challenges and Adaptations: Brexit and Customs Clearance
The Brexit transition posed significant challenges for international cargo movements. However, Hexagon International Transport quickly adapted to the new landscape. We implemented robust customs policies and processes to ensure smooth and efficient operations. Our proactive approach included establishing new relationships with European customs clearance agents, allowing us to provide faster transit times via the Smart Border. This strategic move not only increased our customer base but also reinforced our reputation as a leader in the transport industry.
Our ability to quickly adjust our operations during Brexit exemplifies our flexibility and dedication to maintaining high service standards despite external challenges.
Future Outlook
As we celebrate this milestone, Hexagon International Transport remains committed to delivering top-tier transport services. Our speciality in French exports continues to be a key focus, and we invite customers to contact us for any rate requests for their shipments. Our promise of high levels of service and excellent transit times remains unwavering.
We look forward to the future with optimism and a renewed commitment to excellence in transport services. Whether it’s express services, groupage services, or full load services, Hexagon International Transport is your trusted partner for all your European freight needs.
