Services
From a single pallet to a full trailer, from Basildon to Bucharest: road freight, customs and warehousing run by one team, on one set of systems.
Dedicated vehicles, shared space and time-critical runs across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, tracked from collection to signature.
Door-to-door road freight between the UK and continental Europe, with the crossing, the paperwork and the final mile handled by us.
An in-house customs team with Authorised Economic Operator status, so declarations, transit documents and duty are ready before your freight reaches the port.
For the loads that don’t fit a standard trailer, or a standard risk assessment. Planned, permitted and moved by certified specialists.
Secure, HMRC-approved storage that plugs straight into our transport network, so stock moves from rack to road without a hand-off.
The final, most visible mile, delivered on time and to the door with the flexibility your customers expect.
How it works
Follow one full load from our Basildon hub to northern Italy: collected, cleared, crossed and delivered by one accountable team.
Your load is collected in Basildon, the trailer seal is logged and GPS telematics go live, so you can see exactly where your freight is from the very first mile.
Our in-house team lodges the export declaration and Goods Movement Reference before the truck arrives, so it rolls straight through check-in at Dover.
Multiple daily sailings from Dover to Calais, or the Eurotunnel shuttle when every minute counts. Under T1 transit, the load travels on without stopping for import clearance at the border.
Routes are optimised before departure and driver hours are planned precisely. Every journey is fully tachograph-compliant, with a legal overnight rest near Dijon before the run through the Alps.
Import formalities are completed at destination, the load is delivered to the dock, and an electronic proof of delivery reaches you within minutes.
Across the UK and 29 European countries, via Dover, Portsmouth, Harwich and Hull or through the Channel Tunnel, every consignment gets the same care.

Customer stories
From first-time importers to established manufacturers, here’s what working with our team is like.
Lee has been great at Peter Norman. He was very responsive to all my questions regarding our first major import. The price was very competitive and we will be using them again. Highly recommend.
Dealing with Peter Norman for the first time has been a five-star experience from beginning to end. I initially dealt with Simon, who helped with advice and guidance.
Joshua was fantastic. Before using Peter Norman we’d tried a door-to-door courier service and that was a nightmare. These guys know what they’re doing, made it all so easy and were good value. Highly recommend.
