Freight Forwarding Services UK
Plexus Freight provides sea, air, road, rail and customs coordination from Portishead. Family-owned since 1996. 1 named contact manages your international freight from booking to delivery. B2B commercial cargo only.
How we work with you
Our Portishead team manages your consignment from the moment you send us your cargo details. We contact your suppliers, coordinate your collection, select the right mode and carrier for your route, and keep you updated at every stage before you need to ask. Customs documentation is coordinated as part of every movement via our dedicated Felixstowe partners, with one named contact accountable throughout. You deal with a person. Not a process.
B2B commercial cargo only. We do not handle personal effects or household moves.
OUR FREIGHT SERVICES
From Portishead, our operations team provides dedicated UK freight forwarding, coordinating all 4 freight modes and customs for importers and exporters across 25+ countries.
Express transit from 3 working days. We manage collection, consolidation, customs coordination and door delivery. Landside operations only.
FCL, LCL and out-of-gauge container shipping worldwide via Portbury, Felixstowe and Southampton. Customs coordinated alongside every sea freight movement.
FTL, LTL and time-critical groupage across 14 European countries. Post-Brexit customs documentation coordinated as standard on every movement.
Door-to-door rail forwarding combining collection, transit and delivery. A highly cost-effective, lower-emission alternative for Asia-to-UK commercial lanes.
4 high-margin specialisms where our Portishead team provides specialist services with specific operational experience and capability.
For same-day, next-day, 48-hour and 72-hour freight across Europe and worldwide, our Portishead team is available around the clock. For time-critical European road freight, we operate with 2 drivers to remove driving-time restrictions entirely.
Machinery, industrial equipment, robotics and production plant handled via flat-rack and open-top configurations on sea, and specialist vehicles on road. Direct experience on routes including China, the USA and Germany.
Pharmaceutical products, perishables and temperature-sensitive materials across sea, air and road modes. Maintained temperature ranges coordinated throughout transit on our active lanes.
Heightened security, specialist handling and carrier selection driven by capability. Specific experience with Japan-origin goods, robotics and precision machinery from Asia, the USA and Germany.
We do not offer a standalone customs clearance service. We only provide customs coordination when it is accompanied by a complete, door-to-door physical freight movement managed by our team.
All clearances are filed by our trusted third-party customs agents in Felixstowe. Our Portishead team coordinates directly with them on your behalf, giving you one seamless point of contact.
One team. Every mode. Customs included with your freight.
