Worldspan Freight Services Part of the JAG UFS Group in United Kingdom joins OOG Squad

We are glad to announce our new member Worldspan Freight Services Part of the JAG UFS Group of Companies representing United Kingdom.

JAG UFS Intl was originally formed in 1981 by James Gourlay and Colin Wilcox. 1983 saw the first addition to the Heathrow office, when the Felixstowe office was opened.

The next stage in the JAG UFS expansion in 1991 saw the first group acquisition – Worldspan Freight Services in Southend Airport. Southend was then hub of the aircraft spares industry and as JAG UFS were, and still are, heavily involved in the AOG (Aircraft on Ground) urgent, just- in-time shipments – as were Worldspan Freight Services – it was a natural addition to the JAG UFS Group of Companies. Even though the aircraft industry has a much broader geographical spread now, Southend still serves the aircraft industry and has diversified into the Beneficial Insect sector, still remaining within the model of just-in-time and time-sensitive cargo.

Current ongoing project

Routing via Spain, due to permits being required to trans ship through Italy. Permit application is currently 6-10 week wait and due to the urgency of the required cargo, we had to source an alternative through Spain. A little more complex with the timeframes, but ultimately provided us to secure the job due our outside the box thinking.
