FAR-SIDE MARKETING LTD

 

FarSide Marketing Ltd is a specialist in 4th Party Logistics (or 4PL), sourcing products and services from all four corners of the world.

Military Accessories from Far Side Marketing Ration Packs from Far Side Marketing Camping Equipment from Far Side Marketing


In fact, it might reassure you to know that our sister company has been doing this even longer: designing, sourcing, producing and supplying a wide range of gift items to major High Street retailers for over 18 years. So we can use our collective negotiation skills and bargaining power to get you the very best deals.

Furthermore, high quality and consistency of performance, as well as competitive pricing, remain central to our approach in meeting and often exceeding the exacting requirements of our customers. So you can be sure of the very best service, time and time again.

And we’re very proud of the fact that FarSide Marketing was the founder and principal sponsor of the 21st Century Christmas Box, created specifically for all UK Military Personnel serving overseas away from their families at Christmas. Today we are supporting a different but equally deserving cause, Help For Heroes, who offer direct and vital support for our wounded service men and women. Read more »»
