UK and NZ: New Zealand's oldest trade relationship is still thriving
Traditions run deep in the hearts of Kiwis. Whether it's the haka on the rugby field or the enduring ties to the United Kingdom in the realm of commerce and trade, these traditions hold a special place in Kiwi culture. At Gateway Cargo, we too celebrate a remarkable tradition – our decade-long partnership with UK-based Uniexpress.
Over the past 10 years, Gateway Cargo and Uniexpress have worked hand in hand to provide an array of services that facilitate trade and connections between the UK and New Zealand.
Our Services
1. Sea Freight LCL/FAK Program
We offer a Consolidation Service that bridges the UK and NZ, with dedicated services to both Christchurch and Auckland. This program streamlines the movement of goods, making trade more efficient and cost-effective.
2. Sea Freight FCL
Our Sea Freight services connect the UK to all New Zealand ports, ensuring that goods can reach their intended destinations swiftly and reliably.
3. Airfreight Services
For expedited shipping needs, we offer Airfreight services to both Christchurch and Auckland. This service is ideal for time-sensitive cargo that demands a quick turnaround.
4. Inter Country / Cross Trade
Our expertise extends beyond the UK-NZ route. We facilitate shipments sold by New Zealand companies but delivered from the UK to destinations around the world, strengthening global trade ties.
5. Dedicated Terminal for NZ Cargo
We've established a dedicated terminal for New Zealand cargo in Halifax, enhancing the efficiency and security of the supply chain.
6. Operational Staff on Both Sides
With dedicated operational staff in both New Zealand and the UK, we provide personalised support and ensure that shipments are handled with the utmost care and professionalism.
7. Joint Sales and Promotions
Collaboration is key to our success. Joint sales and promotions between Uniexpress and Gateway Cargo ensure that our clients receive the best value and service possible.
A proud commitment
One of the distinguishing factors of our partnership with Uniexpress is that both companies are privately owned. The owners share a strong and proud commitment to our joint market. This dedication has played a pivotal role in our growth and success, allowing us to establish ourselves as market leaders in the trade lane.
