An Incredible Journey That Began In 2010
Originally established in 2010,  Britam Shipping started out offering refrigerated services from Latin America and handling containerised imports of foodstuffs from the USA.  The service was expanded five years later, in 2015, to include import services from the Far East and India

Britam continued its impressive growth by acquiring Salsa Shipping Ltd in 2017 and began offering export and breakbulk/project services to Latin America and other major markets globally from the UK and Europe

In April 2020 we opened a 40,000 square feet warehouse in West Yorkshire, which ushered in our state of the art warehousing solution and in addition UK and European distribution services 

Later in August of the same year, we successfully commenced offering global export and import airfreight services based out of our office at Farnborough, Hants

In 2023 we moved our airfreight office from Farnborough to larger premises at Fleet

In September 2024 we launched our European Roadfreight Division based at our new Burton on Trent office as well opening a seafreight office at Widnes near Liverpool
