About us

Pioneering change in the freight industry

Welcome to FSEW

FSEW was launched in July 2002 by Geoff Tomlinson after he identified a gap in the market for a customer orientated global freight forwarding company. He is committed to leading the way in the freight industry with regards to strategic freight decarbonisation. We are the leading privately-owned freight forwarding company in the country and proud to be pioneering change in the freight forwarding industry by demonstrating low carbon transport is commercially viable.

As we have grown our commitment to provide great value and efficiency remains.  We operate our own fleet which means we can deliver or collect goods quickly, managing demurrage and quay rent costs. We are constantly striving for new ways to enhance our customers’ freight experience and deliver exceptional service and reliability.

Employing circa 100 people from our headquarters at Freightliner in Wentloog, Cardiff, we have clients in the UK, Europe and around the world.

Our aim is to revolutionise the commercial freight industry’s approach to low carbon transition, driving change for a greener future.

“We are leading the field with the UK’s first fully electric heavy freight trucks and aim to be carbon net zero operationally by 2025. Our priority is changing the way we transport freight and taking action to reduce carbon emissions.”
