Daniel Whitfield
Founder & Managing Director
Started on the Acton yard in 1988. Still takes the 6am calls when a line is down.
Since 1984
Cargolane started with two desks above a haulage yard in Acton and a simple rule: the customer speaks to the person moving their freight. Four decades later we run air, ocean, rail and road movements from three UK sites — and the rule still holds. Every account has a named broker, every load has a plan B, and every invoice fits on one page.
Drivers, handlers and planners moving freight around the clock.
Linehaul, trunking and final-mile distance covered every week.
Manufacturers, retailers and growers shipping with us regularly.
Completed movements, from single pallets to full project cargo.
How we work
Quotes in two working hours, updates before you ask for them, and a human on the phone when it matters.
Full goods-in-transit cover, vetted carriers only, and a written recovery plan for every critical movement.
One all-in rate agreed up front, one consolidated invoice after delivery — no accessorial surprises.
