WE ARE A GLOBAL LOGISTICS PROVIDER

Our history

Royal Dutch LV Logistics was established in 1921 in the Netherlands under the name J. Lensveld & Zonen B.V. The family company started with horse and carriage and traded in transport, road building, sand and rubbish skips. The head office is still located in Vlaardingen, the Netherlands.

In 1977 a new ferry trailer department started named Elvex. Shortly after this the first office in the UK was set up in Sheerness. It was operated a branch office to help return the trailers that were being shipped from Holland to the UK. LV Logistics Ltd was formally established in 1986, set up to undertake major oil and petrochemical forwarding contracts in the North Sea. Now 11 offices are strategically located along the  East Coast of Scotland and England.

In more recent years, we opened offices in for instance Singapore, USA and Saudi Arabia. This growing network of own offices and dedicated agents offers you a full range of logistical services offers. Together with our facilities and our international teams of specialists we are dedicated to offer you a personal service tailored to the most demanding industry standards.

As an independent, privately owned company, we focus on long-term relationships with our customers. It is embedded in the LV culture for our people to accept accountability. This ensures we do not let down our clients, our colleagues or ourselves. We look upon our service as being a partnership for progress for every customer.

In 2021 LV Logistics received the Royal Warrant.

Security

Security is a vital element of our service and key to the success of the company. Everyone in the organization is responsible for taking the necessary precautions that will safeguard consignments and assets entrusted to our care. We must therefore create secure environments that can be trusted by our customers.

Information – Information that belongs to the company must be protected from unauthorised disclosure. This applies to all modes of communication including electronic records, paper, disks & memory sticks.

Systems – Security mechanisms must be implemented in all LV computer systems to ensure availability and confidentiality of information. Stringent logical access controls and audit trails will always be employed to protect against external and internal threats to our systems.

Staff – Controls are in place to ensure LV engages only employees and suppliers whose integrity and profiles enable us to comply with our security policy.

It is our objective to maintain, strengthen and protect our reputation for integrity and business compliance. This is achieved by robust leadership and management which is driven by our board of directors and implemented by senior management.

In order to bolster our procedures we have invested in employee training in this field as well as gaining AEO status. In line with industry requirements relating to pre-qualification and in order to demonstrate our capabilities LV have also chosen to Register and subsequently become verified with two of Achilles supplier databases, Fpal and UVDB.
