Formed with a vision to create a 'Centre of Freight Excellence' at Manchester Airport, it was in 1990 that a number of experienced freight industry professionals came together under the leadership of Derek Whelan to establish TQ Express.

With a passion and enthusiasm to offer nothing but the best, the business was founded on the strictest principles of integrity and professionalism to live up to it's stylised mark for Total Quality.

Sadly Derek died in 1996, having laid down the model for a company that has now evolved to a point where it receives class-leading industry acclaim and has an acknowledged reputation as one of the most competent forwarding businesses of it's type.

Still a British, privately owned forwarding business, TQ Express remains carefully protective of it's 100% independent status as the purest means of guaranteeing the highest quality global freight solutions, by air, road and sea.
