About Us

ABOUT TRANSGLOBAL

A personal service, expertly delivered – that’s what makes TransGlobal stand out and it’s what keeps our customers coming back to us time and time again.  No matter how big or small your freight requirements, our expert, dedicated staff will find – and deliver – the best solution for you.

A Personalised Service

All our customers are offered a personal service, no matter how large or small they are.  It’s not surprising that most of them have been with us for years, and some for decades! And we’re delighted that most of our new business comes from word of mouth recommendations.

  • Dedicated, named account handlers – of course!  From your first enquiry through to final delivery, your specialist TransGlobal team will work with you to ease your way through the jungle of regulations and tailor a bespoke freight solution that matches your requirements.
  • Direct Dial Numbers – absolutely!  We’ve even got rid of our voicemail; when you call us we guarantee you will speak to a person not a machine.
  • Bespoke Freight Tracking – naturally!  Just tell us how much or how little information you need and we will customise our reports to match your requirements.

Independent

We are one of the UK’s leading independent international freight forwarding companies.  This independence gives us the freedom to find the best solutions for our customers.  That includes remaining true to our strongly held values of putting people at the heart of everything we do, integrity and trust.  And it includes choosing to work with only the best international forwarders to create an unrivalled world wide network of partners to ensure a first-class service for our customers, wherever they are doing business.

A People Business

We may be experts in freight, but people are the key to our business.  From getting to know all our customers personally to treating our staff well, from building up successful partnerships with like-minded businesses around the world to investing in our relationships with transport companies that we know will deliver on our behalf, people are at the heart of everything we do.

Relationships Built on Trust

Trust is at the heart of everything we do.  We only deal with tried and trusted global partners and transport companies.  And we expect to earn our customers trust.  There is always the capacity for things to go wrong with freight – containers get washed overboard in rough seas, cargo gets left behind – so we can’t promise that everything will always go smoothly.  But when things do go wrong, we do everything we can to find a quick, acceptable solution.  And if it really is our fault we are not afraid to hold our hands up and put things right.
