Meet our company

United Shipping’s story started in 2008 and it has come a long way to becoming a dynamically developing, successful logistics organisation by today. The founding owner started freight forwarding on his own and represented his values in the business with only one assistant for many years. The big breakthrough has come in 2019 when a very important new colleague joined us who has since become an integral member of the company. After many years of struggles with multinational companies, he was considering leaving the business, but our owner gave his different approach a chance, which proved to be a very successful cooperation. Our working conditions, free way of thinking and the possibilities for growth unleashed enormous energies in him, which already resulted in a significant turnover by the end of the year. Until our owner met him, he was sceptical about expanding the business, however, inspired by the example of the excellent cooperation, he decided to expand further. This is how we started on our current journey.

January 2020 already started with four of us working at the company and by the end of the year our team had 15 members, while our turnover doubled in what had been a year full of challenges. The results achieved inspired us to develop further, so we continued to solicit new talents. This did not cause any difficulties as our company’s employees provided excellent references to the new team members. In addition, what has also contributed to our success is that the freedom we work in is almost unimaginable elsewhere. Working from home is totally accepted, most of our colleagues work from home, our office is only an option, not an obligation. We have a team building event each month so that we can meet personally beyond day-to-day encounters and have fun together.

Our figures were increasing at a high rate again in 2021, which quickly got us noticed in the industry, making many people wonder what was happening at our company. #USHmagic But there is no secret, it is just that everyone is free to work as they like and can, with no pressure on weekly or daily figures. Everyone carries out the tasks assigned to them, and some of them even take on more extra work to build the business together. We closed the year 2022 with 50 employees and doubled our previous year’s turnover and revenues again.

In addition to our numbers, we are also very proud of the approach, trustworthiness and successes of our colleagues. That we can work with people who enjoy and appreciate freedom. Almost without exception, the feedback we receive at our client visits is that it is a pleasure to work with us because we are a fantastic team. We will keep doing everything for this to remain so.
