OUR PORT
Portbury is one of the UK's most strategically important container ports, handling significant volumes of import and export cargo for businesses across the South West, the Midlands and Wales. Operating as your dedicated Bristol freight company, our Portishead office sits 2 miles from the port, which means our team works directly with Portbury port agents on container releases, port drayage and storage coordination.
This proximity is an operational advantage that Bristol-region clients benefit from on every sea freight consignment. When a container arrives at Portbury, our team is already in contact with the port agent before you need to ask.

HERITAGE
1996
Glen's father founded the business as Ceramic Logistics, importing porcelain tiles from Italy, Spain and Portugal. The business was built from the outset on direct relationships, transparent pricing and one point of contact per consignment.
2015
Glen Freeth-Selway and Belinda Freeth-Selway took over and rebranded the business as Plexus Freight, expanding into sea, air, road, rail and customs coordination. The operating model, people-led and customer-service-led, was kept intact through the transition.
