Company History

Five Star Freight Systems has been successfully trading at one of the world’s busiest international airports, London Heathrow, since March 1993.

Bob Messenger, who has over 20 years experience in the Freight Forwarding Industry, formed the company.

In addition to general shipping, London produced specialized services such as Airport Terminal Customs clearance, On Board Couriers and express export services for time sensitive movements such as factory stoppages and aircraft on ground - (A.O.G).

The London office is utilized by over 100 freight Forwarding Agents to carry out these specialist movements, and has an excellent industry reputation. Bob has now moved to Melbourne, fulfilling a long ambition to live and work in Australia and has opened up our new office.
