Straightforward Consultancy Ltd

At Straightforward Consultancy, we use our industry knowledge and influence to deliver leaner, more responsive and better managed freight solutions for UK importers and exporters, reducing cost, workload and providing a great source of advice and operational support. Since 2010, we've saved our clients an average of 35% on their freight costs and we've redesigned their freight and Customs models to make them more customer-focused, responsive and compliant. Our services really appeal to customers with flat structures, limited resources or a lack of in-house expertise and our strap line, “logistics simplified” reflects our desire to translate the oft confusing jargon used by freight forwarders and Customs into language which customers can actually understand! We have a range of services including Freight Reviews, Freight Management, Customs Compliance and Consultancy so please do review our website where you can see customer case studies, testimonials and details of the services we provide. We also have a blog, Logistics Simplified, and we post regularly on LinkedIn and Twitter on topics which may affect our customers. Our Managing Director, Andy Cliff is an industry professional who decided to use his extensive knowledge of this specialist area to provide much-needed solutions for small-medium sized importers and exporters and our glowing testimonials certainly endorse that. During his 30 year career, Andy worked in international sales, operations and management for leading logistics providers including DB Schenker, Kuehne & Nagel and DHL Global Forwarding and has a wealth of experience and market-based knowledge. At SCL, we have a great network of industry contacts and work with logistics providers who share our principles of performance, quality and customer service, and this helps us to deliver the best outcomes for our clients, and to ensure their freight models remain well managed, lean and actually fulfill their needs.
