Global Freight Forwarding from Sheffield
Based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, International Freight Solutions (IFS) provides a wide range of international freight forwarding services, supporting both export and import requirements across various transport modes. Working in close partnership with clients, IFS identifies and delivers logistics solutions tailored to specific shipping needs.
The origins of IFS trace back more than two decades to the international department of Courier Logistics in Rotherham. Under the direction of Paul Johnson, this department grew significantly before evolving into an independent freight forwarding company. Today, IFS operates from Hydra Business Centre in Sheffield, with a focus on simplifying and managing global shipping for its customers.
IFS offers services comparable to a travel agent, but for freight. Whether shipping documents, parcels, pallets, or full loads, the company can coordinate Express or Economy services by road, sea or air. Freight solutions are customised based on size, destination, and urgency.
As members of BIFA (British International Freight Association), FIATA (International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations), and the World Top Cargo Alliance, IFS maintains strong links with leading global freight networks. These connections enable access to competitive rates and enhanced support from major carriers and shipping providers.
With an experienced and knowledgeable team, IFS supports customers throughout the entire shipping process. The team provides guidance on documentation and compliance with international customs regulations, ensuring efficient and seamless delivery. By managing freight logistics end-to-end, IFS allows businesses to focus on their core operations with confidence.
International Freight Solutions Ltd has built a strong reputation for reliability, expertise, and outstanding customer service—reflected in their consistent 5-star Google reviews. Clients regularly highlight the team's professionalism, in-depth industry knowledge, and commitment to tailored solutions that simplify global shipping. Whether it's a last-minute consignment, complex customs advice, or multi-modal freight coordination, IFS goes above and beyond to meet and exceed expectations.
