Maurice Ward Group is a family-owned organization. The owners are involved in the day-to-day management of the group. Our private ownership structure allows us to focus on long-term strategic goals rather than concerning ourselves solely with the results of the next quarter. Our mission is to provide a credible alternative solution for the European continent as it is the largest trading block in the world & possibly the most complicated to manage. Much of the area is now encompassed by the EU, enabling free movement of goods, people & capital.
Currently, we operate 40+ owned offices in 25+ European countries. Our global reach is provided by agents & partners all over the world. Using local experts to cover the rest of the planet allows Maurice Ward to focus all our resources & talent into delivering best in class solutions to, from & within Europe. Key to our continued success is our flat management structure & our single IT platform. Rapid decision making is facilitated by empowered managers & a zero bureaucracy policy. All our growth has been organic, with no acquisitions & no joint ventures. This means we do not have to waste resources attempting to integrate systems or new organizations into the group.
We are a debt free, cash rich & profitable group. Our debt free policy ensures we are working for our customers, not for our financial backers. It enables us to make rapid investment decisions without the approval of a third party. Furthermore, we pay our suppliers in a timely manner so we buy better, allowing our customers to benefit from our Pan-European purchasing power.
We touch every area of the supply chain. Air, ocean & road freight services are complimented by full in-house customs support, distribution centers, spare parts banks, VMI warehousing & value add facilities.
