When choosing a freight forwarder to work with your company, it is always wise to check whether a prospective partner is a member of the Freight Transport Association (FTA). As one of the largest trade associations in the UK, the FTA represents the transport interests of 14,000 members and works to ensure the safest, most efficient and sustainable logistics operations throughout the supply chain.
The FTA regularly communicates current and future changes in logistics legislation to their members. This is not just in relation to UK law, but across Europe and beyond. Clearly, non-FTA members are in danger of being non-compliant and that risk is often passed on to their customers and their freight.
FTA members are committing to ‘best practice’ standards. The “well driven” scheme has been highly successful in showing that participants take their driving standards seriously. More importantly, the scheme has helped reduce accidents and lower insurance costs, to the benefit of all road users.
Furthermore in order to reduce operational and legal risk, FTA members are able to access the FTA’s Driver Licence Checking Service. If applicable this empowers FTA members to quickly perform licence checks for all their drivers against current records, which are continually and automatically re-checked.
Morrison Freight is proud to be a member of the FTA. We use their specialist professional knowledge and advice to ensure our customers receive the best possible service.

Suffolk Freight Forwarder | Bigger isn't always better
As a small freight forwarder, Morrison Freight offers excellent customer service which is why our clients come back to us time and time again. Unlike many larger logistics companies, we are able to offer a personal, bespoke service which is tailor-made to suit your requirements.
At Morrison Freight decisions can be made quickly. We are able to respond to your needs without the procedural red tape often found within larger organisations. When using big logistics companies, internal processes coupled with multiple levels of management and complicated sign-off procedures can result in slow responses. Bureaucracy inside larger transport businesses often means suppliers become detached from their customers and relationships are impersonal. With a smaller company like Morrison Freight, our focus remains on you, the customer, because you are important to our business.
We like to work closely with our clients and build strong, lasting relationships. Our hands-on management approach means you can speak directly with our Senior Management team at any time. This level of access and customer care is almost impossible for larger organisations. Nobody wants to be a small fish in a big pond where you are fighting for attention.
Call us today on 01473 836500 to experience excellent customer service first hand and benefit from our genuinely competitive rates.
