 Pall-Ex member Harbour International Freight celebrates BRGCS ‘AA’ accreditation

Harbour International Freight, a leading provider of quality, customer-focused logistics solutions, has earned a prestigious ‘AA’ accreditation

Harbour International Freight, a leading provider of quality, customer-focused logistics solutions, has earned a prestigious ‘AA’ accreditation for ambient storage, distribution and cross-docking following an auditing process conducted by global supply chain standards arbiter BRGCS.

Founded in Ireland more than fifty years ago, Harbour International Freight has significantly expanded its presence in the UK in recent years, with a move to new national headquarters in Trafford Park, Manchester, which opened its doors in 2022 at the same time as new purpose-built group offices in Dublin.

To achieve the coveted ‘AA’ rating, Harbour International Freight welcomed external auditors to its Trafford Park facility, who conducted a rigorous 10-hour inspection of the site. The inspection took place in August of this year, with grading confirmation following in September. The certification will be re-assessed annually.

Achieving such high-ranking accreditation is an important milestone for Harbour International Freight, which has been a member of the Pall-Ex network, the leading palletised freight distribution network for quality, since 2016.

Steve Swinburn, managing director at Harbour International Freight, said: “We are incredibly proud to have secured the highest possible grade from the BRGCS for storage, distribution and cross-docking. The accreditation is a true reflection of the incredible pride the whole team feel in our business, and the efforts they go to ensure we’re able to offer a best-in-class service.
“The rating will help us forge new relationships with key FMCG and food manufacturing businesses and enable us to work with larger, blue-chip multinationals which require their carriers to have such certification.”
Rebecca Wayte, Network Director (North), at Pall-Ex added: “We’d like to extend our sincerest congratulations to Harbour International Freight on their achievement. They have been a valued member of our network for nearly a decade, and securing such a top-standard rating is no mean feat. The BRGCS serves as a real mark of quality and can act as a point of differentiation for potential customers – particularly those operating in spaces where such certification is a legal necessity.”
