“ In operation for 30 years , Global Forwarding UK started out as a small operation focused on transporting food items such as Dutch cheese , pasta , and English biscuits from all over Europe to the US . Over time , the demand for European food subsided and imports from Asia became the UK ’ s largest market ,” he opens . “ Around 17 years ago , we sold a share of the company to a $ 3 billion turnover Hong Kong company called Hecny Transport ( Hecny ). What made us particularly interested in reaching a deal with Hecny was its outstanding geographical footprint , with over 200 offices worldwide . Moreover , we wanted a broader reach in Asia , where Hecny is very strong . As a result , in addition to our offices in Hayes , Manchester , and New Jersey , we now have a presence in Asia , more significantly in Southeast Asia .
