Our Business
NW Trading operates across three of the UK’s major ports— Birkenhead, Goole and Hull—with a new and growing operation now established in Bristol.
From these strategic locations, we handle a wide range of bulk and breakbulk cargoes for customers across the industrial, manufacturing, chemical and agricultural sectors.
Our key strength lies in our ability to fully understand each customer’s operations, integrating closely with their processes to deliver bespoke, end-to-end logistics solutions.
No two requirements are the same and our flexible approach ensures we match every challenge with precision.

We handle an extensive range of materials, from bulk commodities to steel, board products and bulk bags, managing each with the same level of care, expertise and operational discipline.
History
NW Trading was established in 1999 by Colin Joseph Littler, a highly qualified shipbroker with decades of experience in the ports and shipping industry.
The Company began as a small operation based in the Port of Birkenhead built around strong relationships with a handful of loyal customers…

Accreditations
NW Trading maintains ISO 9001, TASCC, FEMAS and FIAS accreditations, supported by dedicated and tightly controlled storage facilities at Birkenhead, Goole and Hull for compliant crop, feed and fertiliser handling.
Combined with our RHA and UKWA memberships, these standards reinforce the professionalism and reliability that define our port handling, warehousing and logistics operations.
