Regulated Transport & Storage
Firearms Logistics
Secure transportation, storage, and handling of all categories of regulated firearms and ammunition for authorised clients throughout the United Kingdom and Isle of Man.
Our Capability
Section 5 Authority
GJW Engineering holds Section 5 authority under the Firearms Act, enabling us to handle prohibited items that standard carriers cannot transport. This positions us as one of the few logistics providers in the UK capable of moving the full spectrum of regulated firearms and ammunition.
Our logistics division provides a complete service from collection through to delivery, with secure storage available for both short and long-term requirements. Every movement is conducted by vetted personnel in approved vehicles, with comprehensive documentation and full insurance coverage.
We work with government departments, defence contractors, law enforcement agencies, film productions, registered dealers, and private certificate holders across the UK and Isle of Man.
