One team, from supplier to customer
Riverside Logistics is a freight, customs, warehousing and distribution business operating from a 186,000 sq ft facility inside London Gateway.
Why we don't divide it up
The freight industry is organised into specialisms. A forwarder books the vessel, a broker handles the customs clearance, a warehouse holds the goods and a haulier delivers them. Each does one part and hands the shipment on.
The customer experiences it as a single journey. When something goes wrong, it is often at the point where one business hands over to another, and that can make it harder to know who is responsible.
We put all four parts under one roof.
Our facility is inside London Gateway, at the point of arrival.
A container can be off the vessel and in our building the same day, cleared by our team and unloaded by our people, with no road journey in between.

Judge us on the things that matter
When you're waiting on a container, service comes down to a few practical things:
- Whether we pick up the phone
- Whether you're told about a problem early or late
- Whether the person you speak to knows your account without looking it up
- Whether what we quoted is what you end up paying

What they are responsible for, in one sentence. Then one specific thing: years in freight, a specialism, or the lanes and commodities they know.
Come and see it
The easiest way to judge a warehouse is to stand in it. If you're within reach of London Gateway, we'd be happy to show you round.
