Rocking Horse Organisation Backs Anglo Pacific


Twenty Five year-established Classic Rocking Horses just finished a 3rd successful delivery with Anglo Pacific. Having already sent important equine cargo to Canada and Australia, dappled-grey ‘Sabre’ just came to New Zealand - much to the delight of his new owner.

Describing Sabre as “the most spectacular rocking horse I have ever encountered”, client Alison, located in Tauranga on the North Island, was especially happy about the international removals service provided by Anglo Pacific.

“Sabre arrived in Tauranga 2-3 weeks ago and the moving agents were wonderful helping me process the important papers and paying out the customs duty here in New Zealand,” states Alison. Both delivery gents were super; they uncrated him on the truck and then brought him to the front door and in the house, positioning him in the exact same space my husband and I had decided upon after much debate. Then they proceeded to complete the unwrapping, got me to check him over and sign him off, then Sabre was basically mine."

With rates varying between £2,300 and 3,500 pounds for a Dappled Grey Classic, dependent on the size, these impressive hand crafted works of art must be managed properly.

Jean Tildesley, founder of Classic Rocking Horses, with husband Brian, says, “Anglo Pacific’s Artwork packaging service meets our business. They box and load very carefully, clear customs at each end, and unpack and remove the crate - a definite plus compared with numerous companies who'll deliver kerbside only. I can also get a concrete quotation rapidly, which is beneficial in closing a sale.”

Classic Rocking Horses has been rebuilding classic horses and creating new ones for more than twenty-five years. During that time frame they've delivered them across the globe from Norway to the Netherlands and Singapore to Shanghai, nevertheless a good number of clients naturally tend to be UK-based. Huge production isn’t ever going to be a goal, just horses of the very best quality.

Anglo Pacific Brings Extraordinary Triumph Back home from Malta

A year hunting for and 15 automobile viewings later Glyn Williams from Buckinghamshire finally located an immaculate Triumph TR4A - in Malta. Not desiring the long procedure to slip at the last hurdle, he entrusted its shipping to Anglo Pacific.

“The vehicles seen in Britain had been rebuilt, but somewhat terribly, so I wanted to look further afield,” claims engineer Glyn.“As soon as I found the 1965 TR4A promoted in Malta, I arranged up a link with the owner and after a few 50 detailed photographs, scheduled inspections and 2 months of negotiation - we agreed upon a price. It has proved, in the main, to be a superb purchase at a fair price and all I'd like now is some good weather to enjoy hood-down driving with the family. The wettest January since records began has not been kind."

Glyn chose Anglo Pacific to deal with the move as, firstly, its London Headquarters was convenient geographically for him, and secondly, he experienced great confidence after talking with Terry Horsnell, Client Manager at Anglo Pacific, a man who's been in the shipping business for Thirty years.

“Handling special freight such as Glyn’s Triumph, a car he spent a year searching for, is one of the primary reasons I truly appreciate my work at Anglo Pacific,” says Terry. “Not only do I get to oversee the safe shipping and delivery of a distinctive object from A to B, I also get to participate in a very small part in some interesting tales. I'm hoping Glyn gets many miles, and smiles, from his eye-catching ‘new’ classic automobile.”



Glyn is thankful for Terry’s commitment to the role, “Anglo Pacific confirmed to be an excellent decision as Terry has been absolutely 1st class in every respect. His attention to detail and excellent communication maintained confidence through the entire shipping and delivery process. I would have no reluctance in suggesting Anglo Pacific in the future.”

A vintage car fanatic for well over Five decades, Glyn has owned and fully rebuilt several automobiles from pre-War Rileys to T Type MGs and E Type Jaguars to Austin Healeys. His most up-to-date acquisition, the TR4A, is an uprated version of the first TR4 that was released in 1961 - uprated in the sense that it has a superior engine, independent rear suspension and small adjustments to the trim and chrome work.

The TR4A sold well, with the bulk being exported, and currently it seems there are only around Two hundred and fifty of them registered in the United Kingdom, making the TR4A much sought-after and quite hard to source in truly exceptional condition. If Glyn’s investment holds up well and is moderately trouble-free, he will pass the automobile on to his son who's a great Triumph fan.

Glyn finishes, “I don't have any plans to own any other vintage vehicles as I find them very time-consuming and expensive to maintain. However, that does not reduce my passion for these captivating old bits of machinery and my heart even so misses a beat when I see an MG TC, because it was in an MG TC, 51 years back, that my wife and I went on our honeymoon. Such superb memories.”

Cost of shipping a container from India two times as that of China, report reveals.

Shipping a container from India can cost nearly double what it costs to ship the exact same container from China, according to a report from the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India.

In a pr release , ASSOCHAM mentioned the standard cost of shipping a container from India could be almost $1,200. The very same container from China would ship no less than $600, and for just $400 from Singapore, placing Indian exporters at a competitive disadvantage in the international industry.



There are a lot of reasons for the greater charges, the group mentioned. One is that port efficiency in India lags behind much of the rest of the world. A ship’s turnaround time at India’s largest port, Jawaharlal Nehru, is nearly 36 hours, while at the main sea ports of Shanghai, Singapore, and Dubai, it is below 12 hours, according to ASSOCHAM. India’s sea ports in addition have increased cargo-handling costs than those other nations.

Further driving up rates is India’s 2-tiered tax system, which leads to items being taxed when they transit state as well as national borders. The govt of newly selected Pm Narendra Modi is trying to alter the system by scrapping the two-tier system and changing it with a consistent nationwide tax.

Container charges are largely a factor of demand and supply of shipping capacity, however other factors such as ease of access and landside costs might also figure into the overall costs.

ASSOCHAM also noted the amount of stops a truck needs to make as another factor pushing up prices. There are currently 177 highway checkpoints and another 268 toll plazas on India’s roads, and toll lane automation is actually nonexistent.

A imbalance in hinterland national infrastructure is another factor. As reported by the World Bank, 63.7 percent of China’s roadways are paved, compared to 53.8 % in India.

China and India have fragmented, unconsolidated trucking markets that make savings through economies of scale challenging to obtain. C.H. Robinson has predicted that 99 % of trucks in China belong to individuals or families. In India, the logistics provider reports 80 percent of trucks are run by small companies.

The more advanced national infrastructure in China has made up for the governmental meddling and fractured trucking market that define both nations. The final result, ASSOCHAM stated, is a major difference in the costs of international shipping from India and China.

Prime Minister Modi’s government appears to be aware of these problems, and has begun to take steps to improve things. Early this month, ground was broken on part of the Sagar Mala infrastructure upgrade at the Jawaharlal Nehru port. Modi has additionally instructed the Ministry of Shipping to make Sagar Mala its principal priority, as reported by the Times of India .

The Sagar Mala project aims to improve India’s growth through the interlinking of sea ports via the continuing development of road, rail and seaway connections. In addition, it requires investments aimed towards expanding port capacity and productiveness.

Accompanying the order to the Ministry of Shipping was one to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. That order requested for the development of a task force to examine automation at Indian toll plazas and checkpoints with the target of minimizing setbacks and the amount of overloaded trucks on Indian roads. Automation of toll roads was one of several solutions suggested by ASSOCHAM to lessen shipping costs.

TFL Aids Anglo Pacific Jump on its Bicycle

As part of Transport for London’s (TFL) free of charge cycle stand scheme, worldwide removals specialist Anglo Pacific has just obtained delivery of nine racks (18 bikes-worth) at its Park Royal HQ. HR Director Liz Caines hopes they are going to motivate a healthy and much more commited employees.

“We have around 9 hard-core bikers at this time around of the year, increasing to anywhere between Fifteen and 18 in the summer time,” says Liz. “Taking into account we have got 80 employees on-site at our London branch, that’s not a bad percentage. It made logic for taking TFL up on their pleasant offer and give them a suitable secure and safe spot to store their bicycles. We additionally have a free-to-use gym and bathrooms on the premises, and are able to support individuals who desire to be more fit - as well beat the traffic and inflation-busting rail fares.”

Anglo Pacific Sales Specialist and die-hard biker, Brooke La Pine, said, “Biking to the office saves me at least £60 each month in public travel fees and it’s no less than three times quicker to cover the four miles in between my home and the office. I ride no matter what, also in the snow, although that may be pretty hairy on skinny road tyres. And, with regards to skinny, given that I am a fan of a beer or 2, I am pretty sure that my daily 2-wheeled journey spares me from unavoidable belly spread.”

“Before the TFL ‘toast racks’, our cycles normally would get soaked whenever it rained, which is much of the time in the UK,” says Anglo Pacific Removal Advisor, New Zealand-born Doug Dyer. “Freewheeling past queuing road traffic and congested buses, I'm able to get to the office in 20 minutes - for free. We’re trying to encourage our fellow workers to ride to the office, especially as we mostly spend time at a workdesk throughout the day, however it seems as if they don’t like the thought of the rain and traffic and choose to spend an hour or so on trains and buses than 20 mins on a bike. It’s a mystery.”

Anglo Pacific Baggage Sales Professional, Blake Seath, suggests the social part of riding a bike, “Yes the health benefits, and cutting my commute time from 45 minutes to 15 minutes, are convincing points, but there’s an entertainment aspect to riding a bicycle too. Although I often commute to the office alone, 90% of the time the returning leg is done together with colleagues - from time to time stopping for some cold ‘refreshment’ in the process. A good number of of us who cycle have started to be good pals outside of work, which I assure cycling has a lot to do with. We are Kiwis with one Aussie, so all slightly insane, which helps when you’re battling rain, hailstorm and snow.”

Anglo Pacific isn't really on it's own within its bike mania as current information indicate that cycling for work is more well-liked than before. Commenced through the wins of Wiggins and Froome, uk is undergoing a bike growth and the Govt even has a tax-free loan system in place which may take up to 42% from the cost of a brand new bicycle - 325,000 have been bought in using this method so far.
