About Pro Carrier

The guiding principle of Pro Carrier is to allow our customers to find sending their goods to and from anywhere in the world as easy and streamlined as possible across a range of offerings and all modes of transport.

Formerly known as DG International, the company was established in 2009 to provide high levels of customer service to a range of clients importing into the UK from Asia via sea and air. The company has grown rapidly since then and now offers a range of logistics services across diverse industry sectors.

Pro Carrier’s growth has been underpinned by a commitment to a set of shared values that creates a high-performance culture. We have employed self-motivated people who are empowered to make decisions to accelerate our growth.

Pro Carrier is poised for significant growth, with a strategy to grow to double in size over the next three years, with Pro Carrier being at the forefront of that plan. The leadership team is experienced, dynamic and client-centric, and the focus for growth is around new technology offerings that compliment current services and additional market share from emerging markets.
