Welcome to the London Freight Club

The London Freight Club first dates back to 1952/53 when a group of executives of the Canada Steamship Company, Canadian National & Canadian Pacific companies decided it would be a good idea to form a club for executives within the liner industry.

The LFC is growing into a well known vehicle for members of the shipping and freight industry to network within a pleasant social atmosphere. Choosing to stay focused on the good of the industry and its membership, the LFC offers a forum for its members to share the wisdom of hundreds of years collectively in the freight industry.

Below shows our past sponsors. We would like to thank them all for their support.

London Freight Club Chairman

It fills me with enourmous pride and great pleasure to be appointed as our chairman.

Having been a member for 15 plus years and on the committee for the last 3 years i have seen the club evolve, as the industry has and want to ensure the work which has been carried out from past chairmen continues under my tenure.

It excites me to see young mixing with experience and therefore its up to the senior members of the club to welcome in ‘new blood’ whilst ensuring the values of such a prestigous club are maintained.

Starting in the shipping dept at british ropes (Bridon) at the age of 16 as office junior, dean became sales representative for an nvo (ocean express / confreight) and has progressed over 20 years within the industry to being the commercial director at Globelink fallow, whilst also undertaking a role in europe (Globelinks hq is in Singapore “representative” for their global accounts).

I’ve definitely had some career highs, but this definitely tops the lot. I’m very, very proud to represent our members and leaders of our industry and hope to meet with as many as possible to ensure the club continues to grow from stregth to strength.
