Stockwells in action

In Stockwells’ more than half-century tenure, the organisation has empowered countless businesses, suppliers and manufacturers with nuanced and personalised international freight forwarding and customs logistics services.

A large-scale renewables company approached Stockwells, overwhelmed by the logistics of importing various components for their project. Stockwells leveraged its deep understanding of complex project logistics, particularly in the renewable energy sector, to address these challenges.

Why Stockwells?

We are 100% owned and operated, with an extensive team of experienced professionals, a network of trusted third-party partners and our own trucking fleets and warehouses. We believe this separates us from our competitors – allowing us complete control at every stage. Our family-first ethos puts our people at the forefront of our operations. We treat our clients like one of our own, giving you an unmatched experience. 

Family-owned excellence

Built on hard work, resilience and a 50+ year legacy, Stockwells is one of Australia’s largest family owned and operated freight forwarders. George Bulgin and Brian Stockwell paved the way for exceptional customer service and world class logistics in 1971, setting the groundwork for the full-service international freight forwarding and customs logistics company it has now become. Despite expanding across continents with over 100 staff, the Stockwells brand unites our team globally to provide world-class service to each and every client.
