KENNY FISHER SHIPPING LIMITED

What KENNY FISHER SHIPPING LIMITED does

Kenny Fisher Shipping Limited (KFS) is a privately held UK-based logistics and customs brokerage firm founded in 2004. The company provides customs clearance, transport and logistics, warehousing and distribution, and customs consultation services to businesses engaged in cross-border trade between the UK, the EU, and other international markets. KFS serves three identified customer verticals — Drinks & Beverages, Food & Ingredients, and Manufacturing — and extends its reach globally through a network of overseas agency partners rather than wholly owned infrastructure. The combined team carries stated experience of more than 40 years in customs brokerage and freight forwarding.

The company's core service stack spans import, export, and transit customs clearance; simplified customs procedures; road, sea, and air freight coordination including bulk flexi-tank transport; dedicated warehousing; and trade compliance consultation. A TRACK&TRACE system is integrated with AIS (Vix Track n Trace) Live Shipment Tracking, providing multimodal visibility across consignments. KFS also markets a dedicated Brexit Navigation Services advisory, positioning it around post-Brexit UK-EU customs complexity. The stated corporate sustainability target is to operate as a paperless customs brokerage by 2028.

The business model is sales-led, direct B2B, with custom quote-based pricing on logistics and clearance engagements. No funding rounds, headcount figures, customer logos, or revenue disclosures are available; KFS operates as a bootstrapped private company with no external capital events reported.
