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 fulfillment 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 fulfillment sector.
In 2011 we bought a London delivery company that serviced mostly fashion customers. This was our first step to specialization in fashion and beauty fulfillment. 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 fulfillment 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 fulfillment customers from 12 facilities across the UK and EU.

🤠🚀 A little adventure-inspired look at what we do best. We’ve taken inspiration from a familiar story to highlight some of the ways ILG supports growing brands. Boot personalisation? We’ve got it covered. Orders picked by the chosen ones? Absolutely. Fulfilment that seems to happen when no one’s looking? Pretty much. And if it feels like there’s a snake in your boot when it comes to your current logistics operation… it might be time for a chat. To new markets and beyond! 🚀📦 #WeareILG #Personalisation #OrderPicking #CustomerExperience #BehindTheScenes

Giving Back to Our Charity of the Year 💙 On 11th June, as part of the volunteer days offered by ILG and GFS, Kristine and Sambi . spent the day at Chestnut Tree House’s Regional Distribution Centre, helping to sort and prepare donated items for distribution across their charity shops. From clothing and accessories to household goods, every item processed played a part in supporting children with life-limiting conditions and their families. It was a hands-on day that gave a real insight into the incredible work that happens behind the scenes to turn donations into vital funding. A huge thank you to Nicky and the warehouse team for making them feel so welcome and for showing us the impact that even a single day of volunteering can have. We’re proud to support Chestnut Tree House as our Charity of the Year and look forward to continuing our fundraising and volunteering efforts throughout the year. 🧡
