About us

Goldstar Transport was formed in 1998 by a management team that had a proven track record in large volume, multi-customer container transport. From that basis we have built a business able to adapt quickly and with a great deal of imagination to the ever changing demands of our customer base and the difficulties of an industry that is becoming the most legislated in Europe.

We have succeeded in making Goldstar easy for our customers to use by placing staff in-house at customer's offices or giving each customer a central point of contact for all it's work whether, import or export and regardless of the port entry to the UK.

With the opening of our A14 Logistics Centre at Woolpit we are able to offer off-dock loaded storage, Woolpit is also the base for our Training centre, where in addition to ensuring that our driving team are one of the most highly trained on the road, we also offer both Driver CPC and ADR training.

Our market leading IT systems enable electronic data transfer, online real-time tracking of jobs and instant online POD facility, automated delivery notification.

Goldstar has an annual turnover in excess of £80 million and regularly handles over 1200 movements per day for a varied customer base from major shipping lines to smaller niche market operators.
