PBS INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT LIMITED
Company number 02648449 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
PBS International Freight is a financially solid, owner-managed freight forwarding business whose freehold property and conservative balance sheet provide a genuine competitive moat. The priorities should be to modernise service offerings, broaden the customer base, and reduce key-person dependence, while leveraging the Crawley/Gatwick location for higher-margin logistics and e-commerce demand. With net assets approaching £2.0m and no compliance flags, the company is well positioned for measured, asset-backed growth.
