Dyson: The experts on freight

TO say the last few years for Central Coast businesses dependent on international freight has been a difficult one would be an understatement, according to the multi award winning team at Dyson Logistics

With the rising cost of international freight and delays due to weather, war, COVID 19 and staffing shortages in key logistics areas such trucking, a considerable strain has been placed on many Central Coast businesses.

But Dyson Logistics, a full-service international freight forwarding company, have been uniquely positioned to assist local businesses right here on the Coast.

Being a local they have the ability to service Central Coast exporters and importers with rates and service unmatched by companies based in Sydney who don’t always value their clients as individuals the same way Dyson Logistics do.
