John Good Shipping is a Freight forwarder and shipping agency based in Kingston upon Hull, England.

Founded by John Good in 1833, the agency is a family-run business that is in its sixth generation.
As Ship Chandlers, Agents and Brokers, John Good used his connections he had gained through Finnish and Baltic ship owners to start-up John Good & Co, which later became known as John Good & Sons.
In 1883, John Good & Sons acquired its first regular liner agency, where passenger and cargo services were available between Finland and Hull.
In 1959, John Good & Sons opened an office in Ipswich.
In 2011, the Joint Managing Director Matthew Good died whilst taking part in a charity run. In his honour, the Matthew Good Foundation was founded to focus on research and education surrounding illness and deaths during endurance sporting events.
