On the 1st October 1979, the TransGlobal brand was launched. Its name came from the merger of two businesses, Global Airfreight Limited and Trans Continental Air Limited and formed the core of what is today - TransGlobal Freight Management Limited.

Of course the Group at that time had been trading far longer, tracing its origins back to the 1920’s. During this period companies well known in the freight industry, namely Comprehensive Shipping Limited, dealing mainly with European road freight, Stephenson & Ephgrave Limited and Knight & Morris Limited, both handling ocean freight and chartering business, were the original companies that later formed the TransGlobal Group of Companies.

The TransGlobal brand logo commenced life as the famous tail plane, which served the business well until the mid 1990’s when a new logo was launched and has served the company well ever since. In 2008 the strong TransGlobal brand was also taken up by the parent company of TransGlobal, changing its name from Moran Holdings PLC to TransGlobal PLC, to better represent the current trading portfolio of the Company.
