James and Annette welcome you to Woodside Cargo S.L.

Woodside Trading S.L. was started by James (Jim) Canvin and Annette Slingerland in 2003. Having shipped their own 20ft container over from the UK to Fuerteventura. They were upset about the fact that it took 16 weeks from door to door and, when it did arrive to their new Fuerteventura home,

Jim´s prized Harley Davidson (although still in it´s crate) arrived upside down and damaged!

Although their new venture was one of assumed retirement, they decided that if this happened to them it had more than likely happened to others too.

So, instead of an early retirement, they started up their small business Woodside Trading (the same name as their builders merchants business in the UK) and this is where it all started…

Within a couple of years, Annette and Jim took their first office on the island and, as the business grew, they opened their first warehouse too and re-named their company Woodside Cargo S.L.

Onwards and upwards with more growth, they now have a large warehouse in El Matorral (near Fuerteventura Airport) and separate office in El Matorral too. They have warehouse facilities in the UK, Spain and Holland with professional partners who handle the EU and UK side of things in the name of Woodside Cargo.

Nothing is too much trouble… Their aim is to please and, over the years, they have done just this to thousands of Clients who have moved back and forth to and from the Canary Islands.

With a fantastic, supportive team behind them the business now offers the following…
