2021 marks PF Collins’ 100th anniversary. And what a journey it has been! We are proud of our rich history in supporting our clients in their international trade and logistics activities.
From the early days of moving goods to ports along Newfoundland’s coast, to supporting today’s major industries. We have certainly witnessed many changes!
What began as a one-man operation has evolved into a fourth-generation family business, proudly supporting clients in Canada and around the world.
Patrick Francis Collins, a St. John’s clothing merchant, became a Customs Broker shortly after a fire destroyed his store in 1913. During the first part of the 20th century, international transport was still largely marine and St. John’s was the key port of entry for Newfoundland.
Newfoundland was still a colony of Great Britain when King George V appointed PF Collins as the dominion’s Customs Broker in 1921. PF Collins helped arrange for the import and movement of goods throughout the island. This role would prove to be critical to the development of Newfoundland’s first industries.
