Busy Manchester forwarder moves to bigger office

[ September 13, 2023   //   ]

Manchester forwarder AFS Global has relocated to a new 1,300sq ft office at the city airport’s International Office Centre.

The company has taken on a string of new clients and increased its headcount by 30% in the last year, including the appointment of Chris Higgins (pictured) as commercial director.

He said: ‘‘The last few years have been incredibly challenging for our industry for many reasons, whether that’s due to rapid and significant price fluctuations, port blockages or ships stuck in canals. It’s been a testing time but our business model, which combines automation with a premium customer service, has proved very resilient. This has given us the confidence to reinvest and plan for further growth.”
