Business description

Project Asteria provides end-to-end haulage and shipment solutions across the UK and internationally. Whilst a licence is in place to use the name of a larger brand, the business operates autonomously with no input from the larger entity.

The company’s services comprise domestic UK haulage, European imports and exports, customs clearance, time-sensitive shipments, and international sea / air freight.
The business offers scalable solutions to realise clients’ transport requirements of all sizes, from distributing one pallet to a full truck of goods. This is underpinned by exceptional
customer service and strong relationships with dedicated agents situated throughout Europe that operate vehicles ranging from small vans to 20-tonne trailers.
Our clients are now offering the business for sale to facilitate growth under the impetus of new ownership. Offers invited.
