With more than 800 global offices, in over 160 countries, in 6 continents, our 3 groups offer truly comprehensive global coverage for all their members

Philosophy


All our partners go the extra mile to assist each other and it is a great benefit to have friends in nearly all major cities and ports across the globe.

Our philosophy has never been to saturate our groups with a huge number of agents in each country.

We offer in the main sole agencies in the Five Star and PFI General Freight Networks to create a family feel (except countries with large populations and / or geographic areas) where we do engage multi agencies.

We do however revert to duel agencies if the Network recognises the need for a secondary option in any area.
