Client success stories
“The advent of and the innovative approach taken by the team at iPort Rail has changed/transformed the way Fellowes Brands move our containerised imports into the UK from Asia and North America.
“To have a modern efficient railhead on site, 600m from our main UK Distribution Centre has simplified our flow of containers, added flexibility and led to substantial cost savings for Fellowes Brands. We are delighted with all aspects of iPort Rail; they have facilitated our supply chain and very recently been helpful through the Covid crisis.”
