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.

Case Study! 💙 Jones Road Beauty, founded in 2021 by US make-up artist and entrepreneur Bobbi Brown, saw rapid growth with orders tripling in its first year and doubling in the second. While hugely successful in the US, UK sales were slowed by higher shipping costs and longer delivery times from the US. In October 2022, ILG took over the UK e-commerce fulfilment operation, impressing Jones Road with our pick accuracy, meticulous warehouse management, and the clean, sustainable environment of our Gatwick facility. With ILG’s flexible, scalable service, Jones Road could finally match rising UK demand.
