Your logistics are in great hands.

Richard Burgess

Founder/Director

“Launching the company in 2003, the vision was very much about Burhill delivering professional global logistics services through a partnership approach. This is something that I am pleased to say is just as much at the heart of what we do today and the expansion and success we have seen is underpinned by this. 

While my role has inevitably changed as we have grown, I really enjoy that I can retain the relationship with clients while I support the excellent Burhill team we have, to further develop and grow the business.

The logistics industry never stays still and predicting the next market moves, to ensure our clients and partners are prepared, is key to ensure we continue to deliver this professional logistics service.”
