Our History And Values
World Options was established in 2003 and has since grown into a leading provider of simple and affordable shipping solutions for businesses.
The firm was founded by CEO: Stewart Butler, after years of experience working with leading international shipping companies.
Back then there were fewer carrier companies on the market, which was dominated by the big names in the industry such as DHL, UPS, TNT and FedEx.
At that time many small to medium-sized businesses that had shipping requirements had to ship their goods manually by making telephone calls direct to the carriers and completing shipping rate sheets themselves.
But this presented a problem – there was very little visibility of what would happen to their shipments after they were collected, and it would take hours upon hours for those businesses to contact the carriers to find out what was happening with their shipments.
An Industry - leading Online
Stewart knew that there had to be a better way. Things needed to change in order to move away from this very time-consuming, manual process many companies across the UK had to go through every time they had shipping requirements.
The aim was to create an industry-leading online system that would allow businesses to do everything digitally and in 2010 this goal was achieved. Developed by Stewart, the World Options online portal was born.
We have invested heavily into the portal ever since so that all of our customers’ needs can be met with the click of a mouse. Businesses can log in and view multiple quotes between carriers in seconds, make an instant booking, get access to flexible tracking options, and rely upon our dedicated customer support team, who are just a phone call away.
The launch of the portal transformed our business, meaning we could take on more customers and larger volumes of business shipments.
