Behind the Business
KATEM is owned and led by a close-knit family team, supported by a loyal senior management group. We believe that the family approach brings a personal touch, and it’s something that guides us in everything we do.
We’re ISO 9001 accredited and operate both nationally and across Europe, with a dedicated team managing our UK and international freight forwarding services. Much of our fleet is fully compliant with London’s DVS requirements and national ADR standards, ensuring we meet the demands of modern logistics safely and responsibly.
Our Commitment
At Katem Logistics, we’re committed to operating responsibly for our community, our customers, and the environment. Sustainability isn’t just a box to tick; it’s part of how we make decisions every day. From reducing our environmental footprint to supporting the areas we operate in, we work hard to ensure our logistics practices are built for the future. That means thoughtful choices, high standards, and a constant drive to do better.
Three Decades of Family-Run Trust
At Katem, transport is part of our family story. Founded 30 years ago by John and Claire Davidson, the company takes its name from their daughters, Katie and Emily.
With John’s decades of hands-on industry experience, starting from the age of 16, and the whole family still involved today, we’ve built a business rooted in trust, care, and personal service. When you work with us, you’re part of the Katem family.
