White Wave Logistics is an independent freight forwarding business based near Macclesfield, Cheshire, owned and operated by Steve Bywater.
With 40 years of experience in the shipping and logistics industry, Steve has spent most of his career working with major global logistics providers before founding White Wave Logistics in 2021.
The company was created to offer something more personal, responsive, and client-focused than larger organisations can typically provide. At White Wave Logistics, every shipment is handled with direct attention, clear communication, and practical decision-making — without unnecessary delays or layers of management.

How We Work
At White Wave Logistics, we take a direct, hands-on approach to managing freight. Every shipment is overseen personally, with clear communication, practical decision-making, and full responsibility from start to finish.
Direct Involvement with supplier factories
We work directly with our clients and, where required, speak directly with overseas supplier factories and factory owners to arrange shipments at source. This removes unnecessary intermediaries, reduces misunderstandings, and helps prevent delays before they happen.
One Point of Contact
Clients deal directly with the person responsible for their shipments. There are no handovers, call centres, or changing contacts — just consistent oversight and accountability.
Proactive Problem Solving
Issues are anticipated early and addressed immediately when they arise. This proactive approach helps keep goods moving and supply chains intact, even when conditions change.
Available When You Need Us
Logistics doesn’t always operate within office hours. We remain contactable anytime, any day, to support time-critical shipments and respond when it matters most.
Built on Long-Term Relationships
Our work is based on trust, experience, and long-term partnerships — with clients, overseas suppliers, and global logistics partners — ensuring reliable and consistent service worldwide.
White Wave Logistics is committed to providing a straightforward and dependable service for clients who value experience, trust, and personal support.
