David Yokeum, president of WCA Family of Logistic Networks, created the first ever worldwide exclusive network that was neutrally managed and operated to truly benefit the members of the group.

Since then he has traveled the world meeting face to face with independent forwarders that seek better agency/partner options. In 1998, David reviewed the other networks and realise that most offered their members very little, not least because of their exclusive status with only one member per market. So he launched World Cargo Alliance, the first ever privately owned and managed forwarder network that was truly neutral and with its only priority to serve ALL members worldwide. WCA also offered choice in any port to both forwarders and shippers/buyers.

In 2003, David launched Advanced Professional Logistics Network (APLN), a strong, independent global network of highly qualified and professional forwarders and logistics operators, followed early in 2004 by China Global Logistics Network (CGLN), a group designed to benefit the thousands of China forwarders seeking help in finding trusted agents worldwide and international forwarders needing more effective solutions within this mega growth market. CGLN has since become an unrivalled authority in the China forwarding industry with its links to the Ministry of Commerce and David’s status as one of the Top Ten Figures of China’s shipping industry (voted by China Shipping Gazette).

Inter-Global Logistics Network brings together top independent local and regional freight forwarders from markets all over the world in a group that provides shippers and exporters with the better-value and more intelligent option in logistics.
 
WCA Projects Network caters for the needs of specialized project-cargo and heavy-lift professionals seeking global contacts and partners, completing a suite of networks serving independent freight forwarders as a fully-fledged worldwide grouping.

Each of these networks has grown and flourished, all with the help of annual networking conferences where members come together to meet and increase their business, to the extent that WCA Family now has a total of 2553 member offices, all examined and rated before being accepted for membership.

Often imitated, WCA Family remains the innovator in the logistics industry, bringing its members exclusive benefits such as insurance programs, risk management and a member-to-member payment program. Listening to members, WCA Family continues to develop industry-leading solutions to the problems faced every day by even the best independent forwarders and never ceases to provide the best range of benefits available anywhere and unrivalled value.
