There’s no better way to demonstrate
our value to our clients than for
them to tell you themselves

Fresh Clear were recommended to us by a supply chain partner when we were looking to move clearing agents. Since making the switch in 2018 we have been impressed by the level of customer service and flexibility demonstrated by the team.
They were very quick to build a rapport with our business and with key people in our logistics chain. They’ve also been very responsive which has translated to significantly lower costs for Landmann.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Fresh Clear if you are looking to import sea-freighted goods.
Simon Curry
Managing Director
at Farm Direct Limited (UK)
Our avocado farming business in South Africa has direct agreements with UK retailers but requires UK based service providers to manage the practical fulfilment of contracts and the associated customs clearance.
I found Fresh Clear who were recommended to us by their sister company, FreshPLUS. Whilst FreshPLUS would be storing, ripening and packing our fruit, adding the Fresh Clear customs and logistics service helped complete our obligations in a really efficient and integrated way.
The close co-ordination between Fresh Clear and FreshPLUS has helped us maintain excellent service levels with our customer.

Business Unit Manager
at Martinavarro S.L (Spain)
We are a Spanish citrus grower and exporter, dealing directly with retailers and other clients in the UK. Being based in the EU we didn’t need to worry about customs entries until recently.
This changed when we added a Moroccan business to our group of companies and wanted to import their citrus fruit to the UK.
We appointed Fresh Clear as our agent and relied on their knowledge and advice. They facilitated the import and distribution of the Moroccan fruit within a week of being appointed meaning we could achieve our planned objectives.
This experience has been very positive; when the Brexit transition period ends, we intend to use Fresh Clear as our customs clearance agent and logistics partner for all our exports to the UK.
Julia Bouwsema
Marketing Manager
at Dutoit (South Africa)
As a South African grower and exporter, we rely on Fresh Clear to help deliver our stone fruit business in the UK. Working to tight schedules and with a notoriously sensitive type of produce we appreciate being able to use a partner who really understands our industry.
They perform our customs clearance, organise our freight from port, provide cross docking services and carry out our onward distribution. Trust and good communication are vital in our relationship; working with Fresh Clear is invaluable because it allows us to transact directly with our clients on a DDP basis, removing the customs and logistics challenges that would have existed otherwise.
