BDP names Genesis new Global Network Partner in UK

BDP International (BDP), a leading, privately-held global logistics and transportation services company based in the U.S., has selected Genesis Forwarding Services as its global network partner in the United Kingdom.

BDP recently concluded a 14-year relationship with another U.K.-based logistics company, JE Bernard and Co., Ltd., which was acquired earlier this year by the French firm, SDV International Logistics.

"Genesis offers a fresh presence and will be a potent fit for BDP clients doing business into and out of the UK," said BDP President and CEO Richard J. Bolte, Jr. "The Company and its employees enjoy a solid reputation for providing outstanding service, which is completely consistent with BDP’s customer-centric culture and values. With a loyal customer base and the leadership of a strong management team committed to providing personalized service, the BDP Genesis combination will yield an enhanced brand of service, innovative approaches and additional competitive value for our customers."

Established in 1986, Genesis is one of the largest independent freight forwarders in the UK. The company offers a complete range of services, including import/export air and ocean freight, European road freight, customs brokerage and total logistics solutions. In addition to its Eastbourne headquarters, Genesis has four other UK locations, five U.S. offices and two China offices, plus offices in Ireland, Singapore, Taiwan and Dubai.

"We are delighted to have been chosen as BDP’s strategic partner in the UK,” said Ken Howell, Managing Director of Genesis Forwarding. "We share common values and are confident our alliance will benefit customers through expanded service offerings and our collective experience in global logistics."
