U.S. Forwarders Target the UK Market for Growth


September saw a massive increase in U.S. Forwarding Giants targeting the UK market.


Our M & A Team have been hitting the U.S. Market hard in terms of improving its quality of buyers for Strategic Growth.


We have been overwhelmed with how receptive the U.S. Market has been to acquiring UK Forwarders.

Any forwarder that could be interested in U.S. investment for Mutual Growth benefits or planning their exit strategy should contact Stuart Mounter who has been heading up the campaign for Headford.


It is no secret that M & A is one of the favoured forms of Growth for any American Company and with our portfolio of quality sellers we have certainly got their attention.


Headford will be pushing forward in the U.S. and constantly look at ways of improving buyer seller relations.


The U.S. is a key trade lane for any leading Global Forwarding Network so it makes sense to work as closely as we can with the key buyers there.
