New Branch Success for Europa Road

After only their first month of opening Europa Road’s three new sales branches are already delivering for an increasing number of local customers, demonstrating strong demand for European road services across the UK.

Growing Europa’s European road freight division

Part of pioneering independent logistics operator Europa Worldwide Group – Europa Road invested a half a million-pound investment to increase its UK European road freight sales network. This investment is part of Europa Road’s strategic growth plan announced by its Branch Network and Sales Director, Adrian Redmile whose ambition is to grow Europa’s European road freight division.

The operator increased its regional presence on 1st May growing from 13 to 16 local sales branch sites having opened in Cambridge, Liverpool and Cardiff. These new locations expanded Europa Road’s footprint and filled geographic gaps across the North, East, and West between its existing sites.

Adrian’s comments

Adrian Redmile, Branch Network and Sales Director comments: “I’m delighted with how our new sales branches are already performing, and supporting customers in each local area. After the first 30 days we had shipped over 90 consignments, consisting of both imports and exports, we delivered 60 per cent of exports using Europa Flow to ensure smooth customs clearance. The breadth of customers is very broad across from manufacturers to agriculture.”

The UK is currently the ninth largest manufacturing nation in the world and accounts for 45 per cent of total exports – totalling £275bn. Overall, the UK’s industrial sector has increased by 1.4 per cent per year according to report from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Adrian added “We’re pleased to be supporting a wide range of business sectors. The Cardiff, Cambridge and Liverpool teams have all done exceptionally well, these are all completely new territories with brand new members of staff, new to Europa and some new to the industry, all of which are now providing imports and exports on our pan European daily services.”

Europa Road division provides market-leading European road freight services, operating the UK’s largest European groupage hub which is situated in Dartford.
