AFS Global was established in 2007 as Asia Freight Solutions by Alan Harrison and Steve Holland, both career experts in global logistics. Alan and Steve’s goal was to support their customers with outstanding personal service no matter what it took.
We’ve grown from arranging 7 shipments in that first month of trading to managing over 4,000 movements across the globe in the last year. From chemicals, IP components and furniture to scooters, children’s books and clothing, AFS Global have experience in shipping goods of all shapes and sizes.
Initially specialising in containerised shipments from China to the UK, Alan and Steve have since established a global network and an experienced team to handle imports, exports and cross trades by land, sea and air, to and from every country in the world.
In 2020, we changed our name from Asia Freight Solutions to AFS Global to recognise our wider international reach. As the world becomes a smaller place, our ambition is to be the trusted freight forwarder for leading traders everywhere.
