What is freight forwarding and why does Newcastle need it?
Freight forwarding is the backbone of North East commerce.

T&C Logistics operates across 30+ UK cities and handles over 500 shipments weekly, with an average collection time of 42 minutes from booking to vehicle dispatch. Our Newcastle operation covers the entire Tyne and Wear region, including Team Valley Trading Estate — one of the UK's largest industrial parks — and the Port of Tyne itself.
We specialise in consolidating LTL (less-than-lorry-load) freight destined for European distribution centres, managing pallet collections from businesses on the Quayside, and providing dedicated air freight coordination from Newcastle International Airport and other regional hubs.
