48 Years of Allport

In 1963, John Clayton and Will Toye shared a vision to create a company whose staff possessed the same passion and commitment that they felt for the business.

Together with early recruits Danny Toye and Derek Davis, Will and John quickly established Allport as a significant air and sea freight forwarder.

In the decades that followed, Allport has demonstrated consistent growth, underpinned by maintaining long term relationships with key stakeholders; customers, employees, partners and suppliers.

Selected for the Sunday Times listings of "Most Profitable" and "Biggest" private companies, Allport was identified by KeyNote, in their 2009 market report, as the UK's largest privately held freight forwarder.

In 2010 Allport merged with key partner CS Logistics Holdings Limited, to create a global presence of 5,500 employees in 70+ locations, with joint revenues exceeding US$One Billion.

Under the new leadership of Chris Cargill as Group Managing Director and Jerry Gray as Deputy Group Managing Director, Allport continues to perform strongly, providing value to its customers and a rewarding workplace for employees.
