We are using TransitNet for our UK Landbridge movements from and to Ireland. We have had a seamless experience from the start with minimal delays if any. It took a few days to adjust to the new customs procedures but this is part of the norm now.
John Jordan
TRANSZONE
Post Brexit, transiting the UK landbridge is still the quickest and most efficient way for us to travel to and from mainland Europe. The new customs procedures were simplified with the help of SGS.
Michael Donnelly
Brexit and Customs Manager
We have been working with SGS since the start of the year and they have helped us greatly in the Brexit transition. More recently we have tried their Landbridge package which they operate in cooperation with Eurotunnel. The service was first class and it made the whole process much smoother than it had been before. The package really has every angle covered. We will definitely be using the Landbridge package with SGS and Eurotunnel going forward to ensure our trucks make it to their destination without delay.
Paul Jukes
Managing Director, Agro Merchants Whitchurch, UK
We have found SGS very professional in their approach, ensuring we have a robust solution for the export of goods from the UK. SGS have been able to make a very complicated requirement, simple and easy to administer with fantastic turnaround times. Their tiered approach to management- starting with brokerage right up to full automation, made it easy for us to facilitate the change. This affords us the opportunity to scale up to an integrated system in stages that reflect time and capability
Eduard Diaciuc

We found it in SGS TransitNet. They took away the complexities of transit from us which enabled us to continue to concentrate on keeping the supply chain moving. If any other exporters are looking for an efficient, reliable and internationally recognized company to take care of their transit needs, look no further than TransitNet.
