Edge Worldwide Logistics was founded in 1989 by Alan Edge and provides air, shipping and distribution services across the world.
A statement signed off by the board said the rise in revenue was as a result of "growth in domestic and international markets, across both the existing and new customer base".
It added: "The company delivered strong year-on-year growth and continues to focus on improving customer experience through innovative technology."
The increase in pre-tax profits, the business said, is "reflective of continued profitable growth in the core business, using technology and automation to drive efficiency across the cost base".
