EORI Group Joins Forces with 360PAY to Accelerate European Expansion
EORI Group, one of the UK’s leading independent customs agents, is proud to announce a strategic investment from 360PAY, marking a new chapter in its mission to simplify customs processes and enhance cross-border trade across Europe.
Since its establishment, EORI Group has been at the forefront of post-BREXIT customs operations, earning a reputation for innovation, compliance, and efficiency. With a team of over 140 highly trained data analysts and customs practitioners, EORI processes more than 3,500 declarations daily, ensuring supply chain effectiveness and unwavering regulatory compliance. The company holds AEO accreditation, ISO9001 and ISO27001 certifications, and was recognised as “Best in Class” Customs Broker by the AIBF in 2023,2024 and 2025.
As EORI’s influence and client base continue to grow across the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe, a broader operational footprint is key to fuel further development. While founding partner Oakland International has greatly supported EORI since its inception, the next phase of growth demanded expanded capabilities aligned with EORI’s vision of seamless border management across Europe.
Oakland International has agreed to sell its shares to 360PAY, who now becomes the majority shareholder. The EORI Group - comprising EORI UK, EORI Ireland, and EORI Northern Ireland - will now benefit from 360PAY’s extensive European network and complementary service offering.
This alliance significantly enhances the combined product portfolio, which now spans customs clearance, European road tolls, VAT and excise duties recovery, ferry and alpine tunnel bookings, fleet management solutions and more. With over 30 offices across Europe and a client base closely aligned with EORI’s, 360PAY is the ideal partner to support EORI’s continued growth and innovation.
“This is a match made in heaven - or Worksop, to be precise,” commented EORI CEO and Founder, Robert Hardy. “Together with 360PAY, we’re positioned to redefine what’s possible in customs management and cross-border trade.”
“We are thrilled to be teaming up with Robert and his talented team at EORI, which holds a leading position and cutting-edge technology in the customs clearance marketplace,” said Marco Alberti, CEO of 360PAY. “Many of our customers will benefit greatly from the unique value that EORI’s service brings, and we look forward to supporting EORI’s continued growth and success as part of our group.”
Despite the lead investor change, Oakland International remains a valued partner. EORI and 360PAY will continue to collaborate with Oakland, particularly in the area of distressed load management - a field in which Oakland leads with an impressive 85% load recovery rate.
With this new alliance, EORI is poised to accelerate its expansion across mainland Europe, delivering its market-leading customs expertise and innovative solutions to an even broader audience.
