Sourcing & procurement
We locate, shortlist and vet suppliers for your specification, comparing capability, price and lead time before you commit.
Independent UK sourcing & trading agent
An independent agent working to source goods in your interest.
Global Allied Services is a UK-registered company in Cornwall. We act on behalf of buyers — finding suppliers, checking them and negotiating — so you deal with one accountable contact instead of the open market.
Registered in England — Company No. 17290524
Services
End-to-end representation across the trade cycle.
We take on as much or as little of the process as you need — from finding a single supplier to managing a recurring supply programme.
Negotiation & buying
Acting as your agent, we negotiate commercial terms, place and track orders, and protect your position throughout.
Import & export facilitation
We coordinate freight, customs documentation and incoterms so goods move cleanly across borders and arrive as agreed.
Quality & compliance
Specification checks, inspection arrangements and the paperwork that keeps shipments compliant and audit-ready.
Market representation
For manufacturers and sellers, we represent your goods to new buyers and open routes into markets you don't yet reach.
Logistics coordination
A single point of contact to keep carriers, warehouses and suppliers aligned against your delivery schedule.
Talent & recruitment
We also source people — not only goods.
Alongside procurement, we source jobs, placements and candidates for clients in two fields we know well — matching the right person to the right role.
Information technology
We source IT roles and talent — software development, technical support and infrastructure — connecting clients with the right opportunity or the right hire.
Customer support
We source customer-support and service roles — agents, team leaders and back-office staff — matched to the needs on either side of the hire.
What we can source
One agent, a wide variety of goods.
These are the categories we're set up to source across. If your requirement sits outside the list, ask — breadth is the point of a general agent. Tell us the specifics and we'll say honestly whether we can help.
· Consumer & household goods
· Food, beverage & agricultural products
· Industrial supplies & equipment
· Building & construction materials
· Packaging & raw materials
· Textiles & apparel
· Electronics & components
· Automotive & spare parts

Why Global Allied Services
