About Us
Formed in late 2018 and going from strength to strength in our early life, we are a breath of fresh air in the UK freight market. Our Managing Director Ian Antonio carries nearly 15 years in the industry after joining a small freight forwarder straight from his studies. What sets us aside is that we offer something completely different than is already in the market, bringing bundles of new ideas and enthusiasm to the table.
LILA’s number one priority is customer service. We are contactable morning, noon and night and nothing is ever too much trouble. Of course, we also strive to be the most economic option, having accounts with all major carriers by air, sea and road for your services.
OUR MISSION is to provide stress free, economic and highly efficient freight forwarding and logistics services to our invaluable client base.
Our Values
We aim to provide our customers with a tailored personal service and a very high level of flexibility, which is not found amongst the larger forwarders or indeed in much of the industry itself. Contactable at all hours, our experienced, dedicated and professional team will provide logistical solutions. We recognise the importance of reliability and the necessity of providing our customers with economic shipping and superior quality. These are the building blocks upon which LILA operates.
