Freight forwarder Unsworth is expanding its air freight division with the opening of a new, dedicated logistics hub at London Heathrow Airport.
Unsworth says the expansion underscores its commitment to providing businesses with faster, more efficient air freight solutions.
By relocating its air freight team from the company’s headquarters in East London, Unsworth claims it is strategically positioning itself at one of the UK centres of air cargo operations to better meet the needs of its clients.
The Heathrow hub, managed by Mick Patterson who joined Unsworth in August 2024 from World Transport Agency, will be supported by Symone Burt leading the export team and Mark Sidwell spearheading import operations.
Thomas Kuehn, Unsworth’s managing director, said: “In a year that has seen Unsworth celebrate its 50th anniversary, the decision to open a dedicated branch at Heathrow Airport is more than a geographic shift. It represents a strategic investment in elevating service capabilities and operational efficiency.
“Being on-site at Heathrow places Unsworth’s airfreight team in direct contact with airlines, freight handlers, and customs officials, ensuring seamless communication and streamlined cargo movement.
“Operating from the heart of air freight operations enables us to tackle logistical challenges in real-time, keeping shipments on schedule and improving overall client satisfaction.”
Kuehn added: “The opening of our Heathrow branch is just the latest milestone in our mission to provide world-class logistics solutions. By investing in our team and infrastructure, we’re ensuring that current and future clients have the support they need to stay competitive in a fast-changing market.”
