   Approval by TAPA, a group of security professionals from high-technology companies, is a prerequisite to working with such companies. 'An integral part of our overall service is the process by which we identify, analyse and control risks inherent in the transport of high-value goods on behalf of our customers,' said Geoff Corpe, managing director of technology and global freight management at Exel.

   That is the prognosis, at least, of Geoff Corpe, managing director of U.K. freight management at Exel. "The British market has changed profoundly in the last couple of years," says Corpe. "We have seen a month-on-month decline in export traffic flows. I check the figures every month, not to look for signs of recovery, but just to see how steep the dive is getting."
   
   The latest gradient of fall shows that in May there was a 17.7 percent drop-off in outbound tonnage compared with the same month last year.
   
   "That is the worst I have seen it," says Corpe.
   ...
   Despite such a hemorrhage, Exel, according to Corpe, has managed to build its share of U.K. business by 5 to 8 percent in the same time frame. It ranks second only to DHL Danzas Air & Ocean as the market leader and the two companies combined - well, they were talking about that.
   
   "We have obviously had to get a lot smarter about the way we do business and the way we retain existing business," says Corpe. "That means concentrating on key sectors such as pharmaceuticals and printed matter, which are still strong out of the U.K., and on particular traffic lanes."
   
   While North Atlantic routes from the U.K. have become basket cases for rates, Corpe says certain other traffic lanes, such as to Dubai, are showing good growth. But fuel surcharge impositions are hurting the overall market, he says.
   
   "We are now looking at passing on surcharges of 30-34 pounds a kilo, which can often be higher than the base cargo rate," he says. "It is no wonder that shippers are looking at every alternative first rather than use air freight."
   
   He also says that the U.K. market remains bereft of direct freighter lift in many key markets.
   
   "We have no alternative but to look to the European market and do as we are now doing and that is to truck a lot of traffic across to Holland to pick up a far wider choice of freighter lift out of Amsterdam," he says.
