Bio
Herman Jorgensen
Danny has taken his shipping attitude to service into the world of logistics. He has an excellent hands on approach to business and people and always puts the customers first. An agreement is an agreement with Danny whether its written down or not. I have also been impressed by the way he sets expectations to the people around him and that he leaves enough room for others to develop.

I first met with Danny some years ago at GAC. Not longer after that meeting a major automotive client gave me just 2 hours to source and provide a robust method to consistently deliver CKD vehicles from Felixstowe to Coventry. The kits would be arriving in The UK containerized from China and the client could not accept containers at their facility. Danny quickly understood the brief and responded with the perfect solution that matched the requirement. The solution was not only returned in good time, but was extremely cost effective and delivered with absolute confidence by Danny. This is how he responds to clients and colleagues every single time. I can offer no higher recommendation that he is the "go to guy" for Ocean logistics and I am extremely lucky to have him on my team.
