ABOUT CLG

Continuing to Fulfill Our Vision

Coastal Logistics Group was founded by a father-son team who wanted to give shippers a logistics company that could offer more.

MORE CAPABILITIES. MORE SERVICES. MORE VALUE.

In 2004, Richard and Chad Barrow envisioned a simpler logistics process. Their goal was to provide customers with a seamless, stress-free experience. Coastal Logistics Group has remained true to this vision, to be the most trusted 3PL partner, delivering value through customized logistics solutions.  Over the years, we’ve grown because of our commitment to offer logistics solutions for just about any application and at any scale. After 20 years, our team continues to uphold the mission to engineer and execute customized value-added services that optimize the flow of commerce and enable customer growth.

Chief Executive Officer

I am Chad Barrow, CEO and owner of Coastal Logistics Group, a company I proudly founded over 20 years ago with my father, Richard. As a graduate of the University of Georgia, I bring both my education and passion to CLG, which has grown from a family vision into a trusted logistics partner known for reliable, high-quality service. My role as CEO is deeply fulfilling, as I oversee a team committed to innovation, efficiency, and excellence in every project we undertake. Outside of work, I am happily married and the father of three wonderful daughters who inspire me daily.

Chief Financial Officer

Since qualifying as a Certified Chartered Accountant in the UK over 25 years ago, I have had the privilege of holding various commercially focused finance roles, from “hands-on” Controller to CFO, in both multinational corporations and privately held companies like CLG. My career has focused on manufacturing and distribution industries, where I quickly learned that meticulous planning, goal setting, and measurement are essential for driving success. These skills have been instrumental in guiding CLG’s growth. Outside of work, I am a proud husband and father of two, and I enjoy traveling with my family whenever possible.
