What freight forwarding services does WTA provide?

WTA provides sea freight (FCL and LCL), air freight, road freight, rail freight, warehousing and customs brokerage, all managed through a free real-time visibility platform for every customer.

How do I choose between sea, air, rail and road freight?

Sea freight is usually the most cost-effective and lowest-carbon option for large volumes. Air freight suits urgent or high-value cargo. Rail freight sits between the two and can save over 20 days door to door compared with some sea routes. Road freight connects ports, airports and rail terminals to your door and covers overland routes such as UK to Europe.

Can WTA handle customs clearance for my imports and exports?

Yes. WTA has an international team of licensed customs brokers and holds recognised trade security accreditations including AEO and C-TPAT, supporting compliant clearance into the UK, USA, Europe, China and the Middle East.

How can I track my shipments with WTA?

Every WTA customer receives free access to the WTA visibility platform and mobile app, which shows real-time shipment status, predicts delays from live data feeds, provides ESG reporting and lets you manage orders and invoices.

How long has WTA been in business?

WTA was founded in 1913 by Ernest Sommer and remains a fourth-generation family business, headquartered in Manchester, UK, with international offices including the USA, China and the UAE.

Which industries does WTA specialise in?
