Our Story
About Allenek
A trusted logistics partner with over a decade of experience connecting businesses to markets across the UK, Europe, and the world.
Who We Are
Built on Experience.
Driven by Reliability.
Founded in 2012, Allenek has grown from a specialist sea freight operator into a full-service logistics company with a broad international reach. Over more than a decade, we have built a reputation for delivering cargo safely, on time, and with the level of care that our clients expect.
Our team brings together decades of combined experience across sea freight, road transport, and rail logistics. We work closely with our clients to understand their supply chains, identify efficiencies, and provide solutions that are both cost-effective and dependable — whether that is a single container or a complex multi-modal shipment.
From our base in the United Kingdom, we operate across a network of 28 ports spanning the UK, Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Baltic, and beyond. Our relationships with leading shipping lines, hauliers, and rail operators allow us to offer competitive rates and consistent service quality at every stage of the journey.

- Dangerous goods (IMDG compliant)

Road Freight
UK Domestic &
EU Road Services
Our road freight division provides reliable and flexible haulage solutions across the United Kingdom and into mainland Europe. Whether you require a full truckload (FTL) or a part load (LTL), we have the capacity and the network to deliver.
Within the UK, we offer domestic collection and delivery services connecting businesses to all major ports, distribution centres, and commercial premises. Our fleet of trusted haulage partners ensures that your cargo is handled with care and delivered to schedule.
For European road freight, we operate regular services to and from key destinations across France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Poland, and beyond. Our cross-border expertise means that customs formalities, documentation, and compliance are managed seamlessly on your behalf.
Rail Services
UK Inland Rail & EU–Asia Connections
Rail freight offers a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to road and air, and Allenek is positioned to take full advantage of the growing rail network connecting the UK, Europe, and Asia.
UK Inland Rail
Our UK inland rail services provide a fast and efficient link between major inland terminals and the country's principal deep-sea ports, including Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, and Tilbury.
Rail offers a compelling alternative to road haulage for high-volume, time-sensitive movements — reducing congestion, lowering carbon emissions, and delivering consistent transit times. We coordinate the full intermodal journey, from container collection at origin through to port delivery, ensuring a smooth handover at every stage.
EU Rail & Belt and Road
Allenek's European rail freight services extend the reach of our network deep into the continent and, via the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), all the way to China and Central Asia. The China–Europe rail corridor has transformed intercontinental freight, offering transit times significantly faster than sea and at a fraction of the cost of air freight.
With regular block train services operating from key European hubs to destinations including Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an, and Zhengzhou, we are able to offer our clients a genuine multimodal alternative for Asia-bound cargo — combining the reliability of rail with the flexibility of our broader logistics network.
