Company Profile

Our company was founded in 1899 by Charles Stokes, initially as a partnership with a Mr Fitzgerald and became C. Stokes & Co Pty Ltd in 1919. The company has been owned and run by the Stokes family ever since, with the fourth generation now involved.

Freight Forwarding, Customs Clearance and Transport have always been our areas of business, but changes in the industry have been vast. The introduction of air-mail, facsimile, computers on line to Customs and EFT have made great changes to work methods and staff requirements.

As a company we have been in several locations during our 100 plus years, always with a strong Sea Port presence in the CBD, the last 31 years at our present location at 35 King St.


With the increasing importance of air freight, a separate Airport office was opened in 1959
to meet the import Airfreight Clearance requirements of our clients.


Our modern 1600 sq m warehouse in Brooklyn
is the base for our Transport, Warehousing and Distribution activities.
