Due to a huge error, I had a truck headed for Calais - Dover ferry with no customs clearance. A frantic Google search turned up Supreme Freight Services and I emailed them explaining my situation, not really expecting any help by not being known to them and at such short notice. Verity replied in minutes and with no fuss whatsoever had my paperwork done and my vehicle/cargo cleared for customs. I cannot recommend Verity and Dave highly enough. Thank you.
