Liverpool - Peel Ports Logistics Limited (Liverpool, Head Office) (Formerly known as Quality Freight UK Ltd.)
Liverpool Peel Ports Logistics Limited (formerly Quality Freight UK Ltd.) operates within the UK’s North West port network, providing integrated logistics services from its base near Liverpool. The company traces its origins to 2000, when it was established as Quality Freight (UK) Ltd. and based at Ellesmere Port on the Manchester Ship Canal, where it operated the port under licence. Over time, the business expanded its capabilities into chartering and agency services and developed the capacity to manage project cargoes through a purpose-built facility in the North West of England. In 2019, Quality Freight (UK) was acquired by Peel Ports Group, and in May 2021 the business was re-branded as Peel Ports Logistics. Today, Peel Ports Logistics offers a broad spectrum of services designed to support complex supply chains.
The company delivers ships agency and chartering services alongside a comprehensive range of port-related activities. Core offerings include customs clearance, freight forwarding, project cargo management, road transport, warehousing, storage, and distribution services. By integrating shipping, port operations, storage, and transport, Peel Ports Logistics aims to simplify global logistics flows for its customers. The organisation operates across multiple facilities linked to the Manchester Ship Canal, including Ellesmere Port and Runcorn docks, and highlights its capability to manage port operations as part of a broader logistics solution. The business emphasises a one-stop-shop approach, combining port services with inland transport and warehousing to support end-to-end supply chain outcomes.
Peel Ports Logistics’ approach is aligned with environmental and safety standards, having ISO certifications in Environmental Management (ISO 14001), Occupational Health and Safety (ISO 45001), and Quality Management (ISO 9001) at select operations such as Runcorn Docks, Ellesmere Port, and Bridgewater House. This certification framework underpins its commitment to sustainable operations, safe working environments, and quality control across its port and logistics activities. The group position itself as a leading UK shipping and freight forwarding partner, capable of providing tailored solutions to meet individual customer requirements and offering fully integrated port services across land and sea.
Peel Ports Logistics emphasizes a robust portfolio of services that span chartering, freight forwarding, customs clearance, ships agency, container trucking, warehousing, storage, and distribution. Its integrated model is designed to optimise supply chains by linking shipping, port operations, storage, and transport into cohesive logistics solutions. The company highlights its geographic footprint across major North West terminals and its capacity to support projects and time-sensitive cargo through its port-centric network. While customer case studies and partner references are cited through the Peel Ports framework, the emphasis remains on providing flexible, cost-effective, and carbon-conscious logistics solutions through a single, integrated network.
For organisations seeking a local and international logistics partner with port-centric capabilities, Peel Ports Logistics presents a structured value proposition built on decades of port operations and multi-modal logistics experience. The combination of historical port presence, modern certifications, and a comprehensive service suite supports a stable platform for freight forwarding, project cargo, and related logistics activities in the Liverpool area and beyond.
