Email us Our Story
An express freight carrier that's evolved into a full service provider.
‘Simpex Freight Management Limited’ was formed in 2009, later becoming ‘Simpex Express Limited’ but more widely referred to now as just ‘Simpex’.
Conceived as an Express Freight carrier to and from all areas of the UK and Europe, Simpex was born from a belief that freight transport could be done better, and specifically through better communication and planning intelligence.
Driven to excel
This ethos has been with us from the start and continues to drive us. Each member of our team has been chosen, in part, because of their belief in our ethos. It is they who provide our world class service, constantly striving to be the best, and to give the best to our clients through exceptional communication. It’s freight transport with a human touch and a passion to be the carrier of choice.
“I'm really proud of what's been created at Simpex and the key has been the people in our team. We've grown by attracting the best in the business and I think that really shows from our customers' perspective. It doesn't matter if the enquiry is for a van to Europe, a container from the far east or parcel going to the states by air, you'll get great customer service from someone who cares."Simon Beechener, Managing Director
Growth leads to an expansion of our services
This is why we’ve seen such growth in the years since 2009. We opened our Leeds office which delivers excellent Europe-wide groupage, part and full load consignments by road, plus deep sea export and import, and global air freight services too.
We expanded further with the acquisition of our sister company, Samphire Cargo in 2019 ahead of Brexit. Located right by the port of Dover, they provide specialist documentation and customs declaration services for European and rest-of-the-world shipments. Their expertise covers all areas of road, sea and air freight, and this has proved invaluable for EU trade since the beginning of 2021 especially.
Planning Intelligence
We’re as successful as we are because of our planning intelligence. We have an extremely high attention to detail and apply this in our decision-making when planning collections, deliveries and consoldiations. We’ll notice the finer points on your instructions and over time you’ll learn to completely trust us. Our team is experienced enough to spot potential problems in advance and act before it’s too late. We’ll also raise important questions from the outset and consider solutions to any risks beforehand.
This is the thing that really sets us apart and something you can’t automate.
