Since our foundation in 1974 Unsworth have been embracing change by adapting to meet challenges and turn them into opportunities for our clients; exploring new technology to unload ships, after the introduction of containerisation; launching our leading consolidation services, when China acceded to the WTO; innovating packaging technology to revolutionise car transport and digitalisation in the last two decades; and putting the customer at the heart of everything we do since 1974.
Itโs all about you
In 2000 Unsworth launched its online freight comparison site, which still operates today providing thousands of prices every year for global imports and exports. In fact, with Unsworth a single mouse click is all it takes to get a rate, make a booking, track your shipments progress and rate your experience. Our technology lets customers manage complex supply chains, or receive a text alert if a delivery is delayed, or another issue requires attention. With Unsworth thereโs no need to ask. You Just Know.
Itโs about us too
You canโt deliver great customer service for 44 years without having the right attitude, values and team. Our success in consistently delivering the highest levels of service has been instrumental in our continuous growth. And while our group turnover may be approaching ยฃ50m, we remain an independent family business, with the same commitment to our customers and colleagues. In fact Unsworth has won multiple awards for our staff development programmes and been Employer of the year for consecutive years.
Itโs about all of us

No bureaucracy, just quick decisions, to help us serve you better.
We reflect you
We know that to continue delivering exceptional customer experiences, we must create a culture in which we all remain committed to a shared vision of our brand promise and values. Which is why our mission, vision and customer promise has been shaped directly by the whole Unsworth team and their experience in working with you. Through extensive confidential and open feedback sessions, we exposed weaknesses to address and strengths to build on. Your candour has served us well.
