Anglo Pacific International

What Anglo Pacific International does

Anglo Pacific International is a UK-headquartered international removals and shipping operator founded in 1978 by Steve Perry. The company runs three UK collection hubs — London, Manchester, and Glasgow — and dispatches consignments globally via a partner agent network anchored by FIDI FAIM accreditation, providing last-mile delivery in destination countries. It self-identifies as the UK's largest independent international mover, with over 750,000 cumulative consignments delivered and a current run-rate above 20,000 shipments per year on a staff base of approximately 150.

The product set spans the full international shipping value chain for individuals and small businesses: full and part-load household removals, baggage and luggage shipping, groupage and FCL container shipping (20ft, 40ft, 40ft HC), vehicle shipping (cars, motorbikes, boats), student shipping, box shipping, and a trade channel serving other UK removal companies. Pricing is volume-based (per cubic metre) and fixed at booking, with disclosed bands ranging from roughly £180 for a suitcase to £3,500–£8,000 for full container loads. Recent product extensions include Anglo Pacific Guard (APG) transit insurance underwritten via Baxendale, and a certified mobile app for booking and tracking.

The business model is consumer-discretionary B2C with a long-tail transaction profile — average tickets in the low thousands of pounds — supplemented by a B2B trade channel that white-labels freight capacity to other UK movers. The company is privately held, founder-led, and has not raised external funding rounds; growth has historically been funded through retained earnings and reinvestment. Geographic reach is UK-origin outbound, with North American corridors strengthened by an NVOCC relationship via The Movers Trading Club.
