The ILG Story
International Logistics Group was born in 1990 with a single delivery vehicle and a single-minded commitment to help its customers succeed. From day one we focused on nurturing mutually productive, long-term relationships rooted in trust. We championed service excellence, best value for money and a relentless attention to the smallest detail. After three decades of ups, downs and sustained growth, we continue to follow the same uncompromising mission and values.
Read our valuesHow We’ve Grown
We started in fulfilment with a modest 5000 sq ft warehouse and just five people. Consistent growth followed and in 2000 we partnered with a first mover in online sales to place ILG at the forefront of the embryonic e-commerce fulfilment sector.
In 2011 we bought a London delivery company that serviced mostly fashion customers. This was our first step to specialisation in fashion and beauty fulfilment. Seven years later, we became part of global 3PL Yusen Logistics, a move that ensured stability for our customers in the wake of Brexit and ensuing pandemic. By opening our first facility in Poland in 2020, we were able to offer our UK customers an EU-based fulfilment solution and overcome the difficulty of delivering orders to mainland Europe post-Brexit.
In 2024 we acquired GFS Logistics, pioneers in multi-carrier delivery services and carrier-management technology. Today we employ over 600 people and service more than 350 delivery and fulfilment customers from 12 facilities across the UK and EU.

πWe were delighted to join The Eve Appeal at this morningβs Get Lippy launch event in the stunning, spring sunshine. βοΈ ILG is honoured to be a Get Lippy partner, joining some of the leading names in health and beauty to get loud about the five gynae cancers. For the whole of May, The Eve Appeal and supporters will be shouting from the rooftops to ensure that everyone knows there are five gynae cancers, everyone knows the signs and symptoms to look out for, and that everyone feels more comfortable talking about gynae health! Did you know? Nearly 1 in 3 women have put off getting a gynaecological symptom they are experiencing checked by a doctor. Nearly 1 in 3 said they would feel nervous, anxious and uncomfortable speaking to a doctor about a gynaecological health issue, and 1 in 4 said they would feel embarrassed (25%).
