History
Established in London in 1996, Freight Europe (UK) Ltd has specialised in rail freight transport in conventional wagons, mainly between the UK and Continental Europe via the Channel Tunnel. We offer now a full integrated logistic service*.

Our activity
Through the Channel Tunnel, we provide a full integrated logistic service* to most European countries related to various types of markets, ranging from steel to fast-moving consumer goods.

*A full integrated logistic service?
• Rail freight transport
• Road support (Collection & Delivery between Customer premises and rail terminals)
• Warehousing and handling
From any location in Europe, freight loads are monitored from despatch to final delivery as an integral part of the service, with direct links to tracking systems both within the UK and across the Channel.

New services from 2008
Now Freight Operating Company, we also offer train haulage in the U.K. as part as our rail freight services.
This diversification strategy allows us to expand our logistic services in the U.K. domestic market and to/from the continent.
