FSC Oceans Drops Anchor in London

FSC Oceans Drops Anchor in London

March 27th 2018

We are a new, privately-owned freight forwarding business with aspirations to hit the £10m turnover milestone in just a few years and are delighted to have started trading from our headquarters in London.

Based on Fulham High Street, we are led by Managing Director Shatha Aziz who is heading up our team of logistics experts with more than 100 years’ experience of the industry between us.

Moving to the UK from Iraq in 2016, Shatha brought with her 15 years’ experience providing multinational businesses with bespoke logistics solutions. She’d already consulted her network in the UK and decided there was a gap in the market for a new start-up, so set about recruiting her team to launch FSC Oceans.

Our team - Commercial Director Alan Hewitt, Operations Manager Steve Tumber, General Manager Salem Haifi and Account Supervisor Soraya Benouda, overseen by Shatha - recently moved into the new offices from where we will create and implement tailored, streamlined logistics solutions that deliver reliability and efficiency into our customers’ supply chains.

Shatha said: “I’m very proud to have seized the opportunity to launch my own business in the UK and thrilled with the expertise, flair and dedication of the team I’ve built around me. Our culturally diverse make-up is one of our key strengths and between us we have worked across a broad spectrum of industry sectors, including automotive, FMCG, industrial, oil & gas, high tech, retail, drinks logistics and marine logistics.

“We will work with customers in these sectors, of all sizes and complexity, building long-term relationships and setting up exclusive contracts with the world’s leading air, sea and road carriers thanks to our exceptional contacts and the long-standing relationships we have across the globe. I’m very excited for the future and to drive FSC Oceans forward towards our goal of hitting the £10m turnover mark within the next few years.”

Commercial Director, Alan Hewitt, has more than 28 years’ experience in international logistics, having previously worked for both Kuehne + Nagel and RH Freight.

He added: “A major part of our skill set and expertise at FSC Oceans is our shared experience of tried and tested methods of evaluating and streamlining supply chains, with the end goal of providing each customer with a dedicated, value-driven solution. We will pride ourselves on becoming an extension of our customers’ businesses because we fully appreciate that our performance directly impacts upon their reputation and success.

“Within a highly competitive industry, FSC Oceans is driven to stay ahead of our competitors through our ability to respond to our customers’ changing needs and reacting quickly. We will offer a comprehensive, cutting-edge service designed to ensure shipments always arrive on time, safely and securely. Our mantra is simple - professional, affordable service that our customers can rely on.”
