We’ve enhanced our Air Cargo Screening Facility with in-house Free Running Explosive Detection Dogs (FREDDs). Not only do they brighten our days, but they also handle cargo that is challenging, or even impossible to screen with conventional X-ray and ETD methods.

These capabilities are fully integrated with our continually developed Warehouse Management System (WMS), providing real-time, accurate information tailored to your specific requirements, giving you complete visibility and control.

What do our customers say?

CUSTOMER COMMENTS

We are a Gatwick based freight forwarding company working with Expressway Handling Ltd for some time now and it is like having our own dedicated facility at Heathrow! They provide a fantastic service at very reasonable rates.  Both the transport and warehouse staff are very professional with extremely high service levels at all times! I have no hesitation in fully recommending them.

Paul - General Manager - Gatwick

The team at Expressway Handling go above & beyond where possible to assist me in every aspect for Export shipments. Along with an impeccable customer service, really down to earth & very fair / understanding and being based 200 miles away from Heathrow this is crucial. Would not use any other haulier within the Heathrow area to handle any of my shipments but Expressway!

Kyle - Account Manager - Bradford

As office-based forwarders, we rely on Expressway Handling for most of our trucking and warehousing activities at Heathrow. Danny has built the operations from the ground up with focus on simplifying every process for clients. And it works. We particularly appreciate their swift efficiency and proactive approach to addressing any issues that may arise. Expressway won’t let you down.
