Who we serve
Built for organisations that operate across borders
Most of our clients need more than one of our services at once — a shipment, the people travelling with it, and the paperwork that lets both move. That is exactly why we keep them under one roof.
Corporates & institutions
Teams moving staff and delegations, and back offices that need capacity without new headcount.
- Group travel
- Corporate services
- Outsourcing
- Visas
Groups, associations & individuals
Conferences, pilgrimages, tours, family and study travel — with the visa applications that go with them.

Describe your situationHow we work
No surprises, at any stage
The same four steps whether you are shipping a container, moving forty delegates or opening a company.
Discovery
A short call or form to understand the outcome, the deadline and the constraints. Free, and no commitment.
Written quotation
Itemised costs, timelines, assumptions and exclusions — in writing, usually within one business day.
Execution
We coordinate suppliers, carriers, embassies and vendors. You deal with one named contact throughout.
Close-out
Delivery confirmed, documents handed over, invoice reconciled — and a debrief if the work continues.
Why Lighthill
One partner beats five vendors
When goods, people and paperwork are handled by different companies, the gaps between them are where deadlines are lost. We close those gaps.
A single point of accountability
One contract, one contact, one invoice. Nobody gets to point at somebody else when a date slips.
Priced before we start
Fixed scope and fixed price on the quotation. Anything outside it is agreed with you first, in writing.
Documentation done properly
Most cross-border delays are paperwork delays. We treat documentation as the job, not an afterthought.
A real supplier network
Vetted suppliers, carriers and partners across our operating markets — not a directory search on your behalf.
Right-sized for you
We take single shipments and single applications as seriously as retained corporate accounts.
Straight answers
If a plan will not work or a visa is unlikely to be granted, we tell you before you spend money on it.
Questions
Frequently asked
How quickly will I get a quotation?
Most quotations go out within one business day. Complex procurement or multi-leg logistics jobs may take two to three days because we price them against real supplier and carrier responses rather than estimates.
Do you charge for the initial consultation?
No. The first 30-minute consultation is free and carries no obligation. If the work needs a paid advisory engagement, we tell you before that call ends.
Can you guarantee a visa will be approved?
No one legitimately can — the decision belongs to the immigration authority. What we do is assess eligibility honestly up front, prepare a complete and well-evidenced application, and tell you plainly if we think an application is unlikely to succeed before you spend money on it.
Do you work with small businesses and individuals?
Yes. A single shipment, one visa application or one family trip is handled with the same process as a retained corporate account — the scope is just smaller.
Which countries do you cover?
We operate through a partner and supplier network rather than owning offices everywhere, which lets us cover a wide range of routes and jurisdictions. Tell us the origin and destination and we will confirm coverage before quoting.
How do you charge?
Depending on the service: a fixed fee for defined work such as visa preparation or company formation, a margin or handling fee on procurement and freight, and a monthly retainer for outsourcing and ongoing corporate services. Whichever applies is stated on the quotation before you commit.
