Cardinal Global Logistics is a logistics company based in Manchester, England. The company provides sea, air and land freight services and has an integrated serving network covering 500 ports and 2500 airports across the world.[1]
History[edit]
Cardinal Global Logistics was founded by Brian Hay, Robert Cross and David Garratt and opened its first office in Eccles, Manchester in 1998.[2]
In 2003, Cardinal launched a Freight Calculator which disrupted the market,[citation needed] making freight prices visible to clients after years of prices being hidden by the industry. The freight calculator has since become an industry standard for freight forwarding companies.[citation needed]
The company expanded in 2010 and opened warehouses in Manchester and offering their 3PL Fulfillment services, with a 40,000sq ft. facility opening on Sharston Road, Wythenshawe in 2018.[3] In 2014, Cardinal launched their technology platform, Leda. This resulted in a technology division being opened in 2020 called Ceedbox.[4][5]
After 16 years of its foundation, Cardinal expanded into Asia by opening its first office in Hong Kong.
In 2012, Cardinal Maritime and Simon Boucher formed Far Logistics as another company to operate in the logistics industry.[6]
In 2019, Cardinal announced a partnership with Planet Mark which will be supporting them in measuring and reducing the carbon footprint of the business.[7]
In 2021, Cardinal invested in Seabridge Australia & New Zealand, a logistics company. The Seabridge investment included five offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Auckland.[8] CEO Brian Hay also announced plans of expansion into Thailand and Malaysia.[8] In 2021, Candour Logistics, an £80m business was acquired by Far Logistics, a partially owned subsidiary of Cardinal.[9][6][10][11][12] Currently, Far Logistics operates from offices in the UK, Europe and Asia.[13]
Cardinal has 12 offices across Asia, including China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia.[14]
