London - Brunel Shipping (London, Head Office) is a long-established freight forwarding group based in the United Kingdom, offering a broad range of international logistics services across air, sea, road and rail modes. Founded in 1998, Brunel Shipping has grown alongside its parent Brunel Group to establish dedicated teams in European road freight, air cargo and project cargo, enabling multidisciplinary, multimodal solutions for inbound and outbound movements.
The company’s ocean freight operations handle significant container movements to and from major gateways, with offshore cross-docking facilities and on-site customs entries supported by electronic data interchange. This on-site capability helps streamline customs formalities and reduces processing times for imports and exports, contributing to reliable end-to-end visibility for customers.
Brunel Shipping positions itself as a fully integrated ocean freight arm within a broader network that includes European road and rail freight services. Its European road division emphasizes express van or trailer deliveries across Europe and a network of approved partners to deliver reliable, time-sensitive shipments. The rail and road components are complemented by a dedicated air cargo practice operating from near Heathrow, with a focus on time-critical shipments and controlled handling to minimize risk and ensure timely delivery.
In addition to traditional freight forwarding, Brunel Shipping maintains a strong emphasis on project cargo. The project division provides bespoke solutions for heavy lift, out-of-gauge, and temperature-controlled movements, leveraging Heathrow and Felixstowe facilities to support turnkey project executions. This capabilities mix enables the company to address complex logistics needs across industries such as construction, energy, aerospace and defence.
