However complex the challenge, however great the ambition, be it import or export, be it goods or services based ... we can help! Follow us and get in touch to learn how!

Global Trade Department started its life in Swindon, Wiltshire and grew from there. Historically our strategic clients were local to the Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, and Avon and Somerset counties; we are hugely appreciative of these early relationships still in place today. 

However, COVID-19 and the growing acceptance of virtual support saw our business truly expand to service most of the UK, as well as some overseas markets too. 

We remain loyal to the region that allowed our business to flourish and chose to maintain our head office there with a 2nd satellite office in the beautiful Carmarthenshire countryside. 

Our head office is located in Swindon, Wiltshire, in the lovely, modern Kinston House building in Lydiard Fields Business Park adjacent to Junction 16 of the M4. Swindon railway station is on the main London-Plymouth train line, and located in the town centre, just 4 miles drive away. Whilst Bristol and Heathrow airports are just 44 and 67 miles away respectively.
