Who is Russell Collins?

Gemma and Russell’s father Alan founded the firm back in 1989 which offers importing and exporting services, via air, sea and land transport.

The company’s LinkedIn profile says that Unisystems Freight has a “team of like-minded people who have been working in this industry for over 30 years.” Writing about their company motto, they add:

Many of the global shipping companies have their own internal logistics division’s however we sometimes find that the bigger the company the less attention to detail and service.

The correspondence address of the two companies Russell works at indicates that they are linked.
