Eagle International Logistics

What Eagle International Logistics does

Eagle International Logistics is a UK-based freight forwarding company headquartered in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, registered in England and Wales (Company Number 13042931). The firm operates a multi-modal logistics platform covering air freight (passenger and freighter including SF Airlines Boeing 747-400F service), sea freight (FCL and LCL), rail freight (fixed weekly Wuhan-to-UK express service), and road freight (European dedicated loads and UK domestic haulage). Its core technical capabilities include IPAFFS integration for animal genetics customs notifications and online shipment tracking via the UtopiaX platform. Specialist verticals include fashion logistics and animal genetics import services, supported by a customs brokerage offering more than 25 years of combined team experience. The company serves UK importers and exporters with primary focus on the fashion industry and secondarily on animal genetics and general UK trade.

The business operates on a transaction fee model with quote-based pricing across all transport modes, supplemented by professional services revenue from customs brokerage and carbon offsetting. Distribution is primarily direct B2B sales via a UK sales team, the Managing Director and Operations Director are directly involved in day-to-day management, and inbound quotes are handled by dedicated operations and pricing teams. The company maintains strategic partnerships with global shipping lines, top-tier co-loaders, rail partners in China, and a roster of major passenger and cargo airlines. Geographic coverage spans 19 countries across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America, though the United Kingdom is the sole customer market and the firm remains privately held with no disclosed funding rounds. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees with approximately 10 named management and operational staff.

Eagle differentiates through deep customs expertise, a high-touch service model with strong reported retention metrics (96% re-book rate, 94% communication satisfaction), and specialist positioning in fashion and animal genetics. The offering is supported by sustainability services (carbon offsetting aligned with the Road Haulage Association framework) and a customer experience function that appears central to its competitive identity. The firm competes in the UK freight forwarding market against larger generalist players by combining multi-modal capability with vertical specialisation and owner-led customer engagement.
