Unsworth

Unsworth (UK) Ltd was founded in 1974 by a consortium of international businessmen with world-wide shipping interests, to provide a better level of service for their European customers. As an active member of The British International Freight Association (BIFA), it has grown successfully over the years to develop a range of services second to none,... becoming a market leader in groupage services with nationwide receiving depots and an enviable network of world-wide agents. Geoff Hogg, the Managing Director, heads a highly skilled Management team, which he originally joined in 1979. Geoff is a Chartered Accountant, with more than 25 years experience in shipping, a fellow of the Institute of Freight professionals, Institute of Logistics and a leading participant in BIFA affairs. The essence of Unsworth's philosophy is its commitment to giving clients a level of service to match the best you would expect from other leading, professional bodies. The directors believe that the professional freight forwarder of the millennium must evolve into being more of an adjunct of the exporter's and importer's shipping department. With the advent of the internet, electronic commerce and increasingly sophisticated computerised technology, shipping services are evolving into a partnership of co-operation, with Unsworth and its customers working hand-in-hand for mutual benefit. Also fundamental to the company's success is the company's belief that shipping services are also about people. The company appreciate the quality and loyalty of the company's management and staff and support them by investment in staff training. Only in this way is it possible to offer clients a comprehensive service based on quality and expertise.Read More
