In an audit by the UK’s medicines regulatory authorities in 2001, it was found that temperature control and the monitoring of warehouse storage and the cold chain were the highest areas of critical and major deficiencies reported.

You can be sure that when you give your shipment to a Pharmafreight office the strict quality standards you enforce whilst the goods are in your care will be continued once it leaves your hands. The ethos behind Pharmafreight is to operate its services taking into account the many regulations which cover the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmafreight’s standard operating procedures are based on the international regulations covering good pharmaceutical practice. And in particular, GDP, or Good Distribution Practice, prepared in accordance with the EU’s Directive 92/25/EEC, concerning the wholesale distribution of medicinal products for human use.

All Pharmafreight staff and offices work to the SOPs laid out in the GDP regulations and more specifically our own GTP guidelines. Staff undergo training to enable them to work in accordance with GTP and to demonstrate a full understanding of procedures undertaken. Temperatures are monitored and recorded (where required); goods are checked and stored under the correct conditions; and shipments are controlled to make sure the goods arrive in the same condition as they left. Pharmafreight provides services tailor-made to each client’s special requirements including, of course, total confidentiality.

Within the international forwarding and logistics industry there are increasing trends towards “mega carriers” where clients are not allocated dedicated personnel to deal with their individual needs on a day to day basis. With the Pharmafreight group of companies, our clients are paramount and as such, are treated individually with dedicated staff appointed to handle not only day to day operations but also get to know the client’s individual requirements.
