Our People, Your Advantage At Gateway Cargo

We know that great logistics is driven by people. That is why our Asia Trade Desk is staffed by professionals who have lived and worked across Asia before bringing their expertise back to the UK. They understand the culture, the markets, and the challenges first‑hand and that knowledge becomes your competitive edge.

Experience that speaks your language

First‑hand Asian market insight

Our team members have worked directly in China, Hong Kong and other key Asian markets. They know how suppliers operate, how local regulations are enforced, and how to navigate the unwritten rules that can make or break a shipment.

Bilingual capability

Fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, our people ensure clear communication with factories, carriers, and authorities. They also know the subtleties of Asian business culture — meaning smoother negotiations and fewer misunderstandings

Cultural understanding

Beyond language, they bring cultural sensitivity. From respecting holiday shutdowns to anticipating production delays, our team plans around the realities of Asian supply chains, not just what is written in a schedule. Why it matters to you

• Fewer delays because our people anticipate local challenges before they happen.
• Better supplier relationships built on mutual understanding and respect.
• Greater reliability thanks to on‑the‑ground experience with ports, airlines, and customs authorities in Asia.
• Confidence in compliance from professionals who know both UK and Asian regulatory frameworks.
• Personal continuity — the same familiar contacts who understand your business and your suppliers inside and out.

Our promise

When you work with Gateway Cargo’s Asia Trade Desk, you are not just hiring a logistics provider — you are gaining a partner with real, lived experience in Asia. That combination of global knowledge and local presence ensures your supply chain runs smoothly, every time.
