About Us
Since forming in 2006, CGL has grown from strength to strength. We are now recognised as a market leader within the waste export market and well known by the World’s largest ocean freight carriers. Yet, we are proud to say, that we haven’t forgotten our ethos – to offer a personal, tailored service. We truly care about each and every one of our customers’ businesses and the customers that they serve.
Our business is not based around volume – we take pride in each and every job, no matter how large or small, and have experience in working across all industries and at all levels – whether it be an individual pallet or an entire chartered vessel.
We do not think of ourselves as simply a service provider, but more of a trusted long-term partner. We have a host of loyal customers, many of whom have been working with us since CGL began, and who consider us crucial to the successful operation of their own organisation.
