history

On November 3, 1919, high-ranking representatives from various transport and logistics companies met at the Savoy Hotel in London. After the weaknesses of the transport and logistics system that had become apparent during the First World War , they wanted to improve the situation and professionalize the service. The result of this meeting was the establishment of the Institute of Transport . The representatives formulated the primary goals as

  • Improving the effectiveness of transportation
  • Integrate transports better
  • Improvement of the technical skills of those employed in the transport sector

Only a few years after its founding, in 1926, King George V granted the company corporate status with a royal charter , whereby he himself took over the patronage and the Prince of Wales was appointed honorary president. The organization grew nationally and internationally and in the course of time founded ten regional subsidiaries. In 1971, Queen Elizabeth II named the company the Chartered Institute of Transport .

Branch offices exist in Egypt, Australia, Bangladesh, China, Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Kazakhstan, Macao, Malawi, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, New Zealand, Nigeria, North America, Pakistan, Poland, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Taiwan, Ukraine United Arab Emirates and of course the United Kingdom.
