Shipping to Canada is a key part of our operations here at OCS, so we were delighted to welcome Makiba Tamai, President of OCS Canada, to our UK facilities this week.

Makiba has led OCS operations in Canada for over 17 years and is a key figure in the wider OCS network. His visit provided an excellent opportunity to align our strategies and discuss the continued growth of the UK/Canada trade lane.

Makiba was welcomed by our Managing Director Tim Jones and Operations Director Roberto Cinti, and together they explored:

• Market Demand: Analysing the sustained appetite Canadian consumers have for British retail brands.
• Operational Volume: Strengthening the logistics framework that supports the high volume of parcels OCS UK currently exports to the Canadian market.
• Network Synergy: Ensuring our shared standards and values continue to provide a seamless experience for UK retailers expanding into Canada.

Tim, who has decades of experience in UK and international eCommerce, commented:

“OCS Worldwide (UK) and OCS Canada operate with a shared DNA. Our long-standing partnership is built on a long collaboration, which translates into efficient, reliable delivery for our clients. We look forward to continuing our work with Makiba and the Canadian team to further optimise this vital trade route.”
