Peters & May, a global leader in bespoke logistics solutions, is proud to announce the strategic expansion of its freight forwarding services to the USA. Operating from Peters & May's Fort Lauderdale office, this milestone significantly enhances the company's connectivity and service offering for freight solutions for the U.S. market and beyond, reinforcing its expertise in the global marine logistics sector.

With over 50 years of experience, Peters & May has built a reputation for providing tailored logistics solutions across air, land, and sea, to the world's leading boat manufacturers and marine suppliers. The company's deep understanding of the marine supply chain and dedication to ensuring cargo arrives on time have made it a trusted partner across the industry.

Expanding its freight forwarding services in the U.S. is naturally the next step in the company's global growth strategy and complements its existing freight forwarding services throughout the UK, Netherlands, Spain, and Italy. By expanding its operations in Florida, Peters & May strengthens its ability to connect major marine markets, providing seamless logistics support for its clients.

"Expanding our services in the USA is a key milestone for Peters & May Forwarding," said Paul Everley, Global Head of Forwarding at Peters & May. "As demand for our services continues to grow, particularly in the UK and across international markets, this development allows us to better support our clients with enhanced logistics capabilities and local expertise."

Florida is home to one of the largest marine industries in the world, making it a strategic location for Peters & May. Recognizing the vast opportunities in this region, the company remains committed to upholding the high standards of service and operational excellence that have defined its legacy.

"The marine market in Florida is vast, and our presence here enables us to provide tailored logistics solutions to a wider range of clients," said Rasmus Øllgaard, US Forwarding General Manager. "By offering freight forwarding services from our Fort Lauderdale office, we are not only strengthening our service offerings but also reinforcing our commitment to the industry and its evolving logistics needs - all through the personalized service our clients have come to expect."

As Peters & May Freight Forwarding continues to expand its global operations, the Fort Lauderdale office will play a pivotal role in connecting marine hubs worldwide. This expansion comes at a critical time, as the shipping and logistics landscape remains challenging for suppliers and consumers alike.

Despite external pressures, such as fluctuating container rates in recent years, Peters & May's Freight Forwarding division has continued to thrive. The company's latest annual client survey reported overwhelmingly positive feedback, reinforcing its reputation for reliability and expert service. With rising demand across its global offices, the new U.S. base will further enhance Peters & May's operational capabilities, streamlining international shipments and improving efficiency for customers moving cargo to and from the U.S.

To support its growing global client base, Peters & May Freight Forwarding has also launched a dedicated website, which offers a seamless user experience and serves as a hub for industry-specific solutions. This platform allows customers to access the company's full range of services and capabilities with ease.

Additionally, Peters & May has further invested in technology with the introduction of an online cargo tracking platform, providing clients with real-time visibility of their shipments. This feature reinforces the company's core values of transparency, reliability, and customer service—qualities that have made Peters & May a trusted name in freight forwarding for over five decades.
