I get regular updates on my shipments, their rates are competitive, and I know the team is only ever a phone call or email away. Everyone at Hemisphere understands how we work, which really helps, and it’s far easier having everything covered by one agent.”

“HFS provides a complete service, which means we only have to deal with one company rather than several. They understand our requirements and enable us to meet the varying service expectations of different customers. Our import and export business has been operating for over 20 years, and they are without doubt one of the best partners we have worked with in Europe. Craig and the rest of the team are great people to do business with.”
