About Rutland Worldwide Freight

Our story

Rutland Worldwide Freight is an independent, family-run freight forwarding company, established in 1994. Over the years, we’ve earned a solid reputation as a trusted partner for manufacturers looking for a responsive, hands-on freight forwarding team based in the UK

As a family-owned business, we remain fully committed to providing personalized service, ensuring the seamless movement of goods across the globe—whether by sea, air, rail, or road

The team is led by Nick Edwards, FCILT, a seasoned expert in freight logistics, trade compliance, and international shipping. With his background as a former EU Brexit transition advisor, Nick brings deep knowledge of the regulatory landscape and supply chain complexities. He is supported by Jo and Julie, who are responsible for overseeing import clearances, preparing and reviewing critical import documentation (such as bills of lading, cargo invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin), and ensuring compliance with customs requirements.

Together, Nick, Jo, and Julie work to ensure that all necessary documentation is submitted promptly to customs and regulatory bodies, while coordinating with our trusted global partners to ensure the efficient and timely transportation of goods—wherever they need to go. With decades of experience, our small but dedicated team prides itself on delivering a service that is both reliable and flexible, always focused on meeting the unique needs of our clients.

It may sound like a cliché, but the truth is, as a small, family-run business, they genuinely care—about the work they do, and more importantly, about how they do it. This commitment to service is at the heart of everything they do, setting them apart in an industry where attention to detail and reliability matter most.

Don’t just take our word for it—hear what our customers have to say

SEA FREIGHT
“I genuinely had such a good experience. Nick answered questions I didn’t even know I had, preempting potential delays with transportation from Australia. He was reassuring, prompt, and found me an excellent price. His team was well-informed and got back to me the same day. I would recommend Nick and the team to anyone.”
— Dr. C.F., Leicestershire

SEA FREIGHT AND AIR FREIGHT
“We’re a small company, and I wanted to work with a small, local team. I’ve used the big global freight companies, but it never worked for us. I needed someone I could call whenever I needed to—and that’s exactly what Nick provides. He’s handled everything from shipping containers to urgent air freight parcels, and I’ll keep using his services. Nick is knowledgeable, reliable, and just quietly gets the job done. I would recommend Nick and Jo to anyone.”
— J.F., Northamptonshire

ROAD FREIGHT
“I called Jo for a quote on an urgent job to Monaco after my usual forwarder let me down. They were recommended to me, and I’m so glad I called. I needed a two-man road solution as I was running out of time, and I had to get the goods there. Jo and Nick got it done—and my customer never knew there was a problem. They kept me updated every step of the way, and they made a difficult job look easy. I can’t thank them enough.”
— H.M., Manchester
