cargo-partner opens first warehouse in UK
New 4,460 m² warehouse facility complements cargo-partner’s existing offices across Manchester, Bradford and London
International transport and logistics provider cargo-partner announced the opening of its first warehouse facility in the U.K.
Located next to one of cargo-partner’s existing offices in Basildon, the 4,460 m² warehouse facility complements cargo-partner’s existing operational offices across Manchester, Bradford and London, according to an official release.
Equipped with dedicated areas for pallet racking, order picking/packing and storage, the Basildon warehouse integrates with cargo-partner’s global network, the release added. The warehouse will be manned by a team of dedicated professionals, joining the business as part of a transfer of undertakings and adding expertise to cargo-partner’s workforce.
Fergal Keenan, Managing Director, Ireland & UK, cargo-partner says: “We’re delighted to be continuing to deliver on our growth strategy, providing another great location for us to support our customers and partners. While we have always offered warehousing services through partners, the Basildon facility represents our first cargo-partner managed warehousing facility in the U.K. This strategic investment marks a significant milestone in our journey to provide end-to-end logistics solutions to our customers.”
cargo-partner already operates a network of warehouses with a total of over 300,000 m² of storage space throughout Europe, Southeast Asia, and the USA. The expansion into Basildon and the introduction of the new warehouse facility follows a period of rapid growth in the country with the company opening its fourth U.K. office opposite London Heathrow Airport in November 2023, the release added.
