About Us: Our history dates back to 1870, when the Company was first established. We take pride in being one of the true innovators in the world of freight forwarding and supply chain management, whilst remaining under independent ownership. Davies Turner will continue these successful policies as we go forward, developing new routes and products across all transport modes, as well as strengthening our network of overseas partners. Our Expertise: Our core products - in air, ocean, overland forwarding and customs services, as well as in warehouse management and distribution - enable us to provide flexible logistics, storage and supply chain management solutions. Logistics - We manage over one million sqft of multi-user warehousing space. This is supported by state-of-the-art handling equipment, generic and bespoke IT systems developed in-house, complemented by the latest proprietary Warehouse Management System software, giving full process and inventory control. Overland - From our various freight hubs across the UK trailer services can handle groupage, part and full loads with express, intermodal and heavy lift options giving extensive coverage throughout the EU extending into Eastern Europe, Russia, Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.
