Wednesday 25th January 2012
When one of our French freight forwarding partner companies needed an urgent shipment of R.O.V. Spares collecting 30 miles from Aberdeen and transporting to Lagos, Nigeria, we immediately considered all available options. It was quickly decided that the quickest solution would be a direct flight to Lagos from Paris. The immediate problem was how quick we could collect the urgent piece and transport to Paris.

Then it was on it's way to Lagos.
Another problem solved for a very satisfied customer!
