About Davies Turner Company
History

Davies Turner was established in 1870 to provide forwarding services for general freight and the shipping of personal effects.

The company’s founder was Alfred Davies, who went on to become a South Wales MP and pioneered the system of grouping together small consignments to help reduce the high minimum freight rates for individual shippers.

Steady expansion across three centuries has seen the company develop strategic alliances with strong regional partners worldwide, and a comprehensive branch network throughout the UK and Ireland.

The company is now the leading international freight and logistics service provider in the British Isles – with the same independent ownership and management for over a century.
