Meet Pathfinder

Pathfinder is a freight forwarding specialist: this means we collect your goods, and we get them where they need to be. Established in 1994, we’ve built our reputation on three core values that continue to be at the heart of our business today: reliability, attentiveness, and expertise.

Pathfinder’s founders have 50 years of combined experience in transporting goods around the globe – our network of specialist transportation solutions is industry-leading in its comprehensiveness, and we have yet to find a problem we couldn’t solve.

However, we don’t just provide an excellent service, we take pride in looking after every shipment with the same degree of care, meaning that your goods will reach their destination on time and in the same condition that they were given to us. No exceptions.

Here at Pathfinder, we constantly put the customer first, and we value simplicity. You’re free to talk to us whenever you want, and we will always answer you honestly and accurately. It also means we’re up front about what we do: we move your goods around the world. That’s it. Nothing fancy. But, we do it very well.

Bespoke services

Understanding that no job is the same, we pride ourselves on our ability to deal with even the most difficult transportations. This might include shipping items that require refrigeration, smaller vehicles for delivery access issues, cross trade, moving items from one country to another, or collection and shipping outside the UK. Whatever additional services your delivery requires, you can rest assured that Pathfinder has the experience and networks to see it through to conclusion.

Some of the additional services we provide include:

Straps to provide optimum safety / Comprehensive insurance / Customs clearance service / Refrigerated travel services for perishable goods.

Put your faith in the experts

We pride ourselves on being capable problem solvers that bring a wealth of experience to the table. Whatever goods you are seeking to transport, whenever and wherever you want them to go, your job will come with its own set of challenges. Our long and successful history in the industry means that we have probably faced those challenges before.

The benefits of working with a company that knows the business of transportation intimately are numerous. They include confidence in the knowledge that the people managing your delivery are fully compliant with the latest regulations, have a firm understanding of security within the industry, and have the correct legal and financial measures in place to ensure that your interests are protected in any eventuality.

Beyond these technical points, there is an extra benefit to working with Pathfinder: our promise to put the customer first. That means, whenever you need advice or information, we are only a phone call away.

A simple 15 minute conversation with Erica provided us with an alternative route which has the potential to both reduce lead times and save costs during peak freight periods! Her expertise helped us respond quickly and find a critical business solution which is invaluable as a growing SME !
