Global logistics specialist picks Derby for UK HQ
A German-owned global leader in smart logistics and warehousing has established its UK headquarters at Derby’s Pride Park.
EPG-Ehrhardt Partner Group has 19 locations and more than 700 employees worldwide and provides supply chain expertise to a range of warehousing, logistics and airport customers across the globe.
The company said it has opened its UK office at Oberoi Business Hub to take advantage of its close proximity to the road, rail and air networks.
EPG’s newly-appointed country manager Gavin Clark said: “Strategically, EPG see the UK market as one of the most important logistics markets and there is a strong commitment to continue to invest here and clearly focus on growth.
“We recognised that Derby, and particularly Pride Park, is the ideal location for the UK base. Its central location in the country, excellent transport links and major developments on the doorstep such as the East Midlands Gateway will greatly facilitate our growth plans in the UK – both in terms of the customer portfolio and employee numbers.
“Having operated in the UK for the past five years, we now have the premium office location, excellent meeting and conference facilities and call handling service support in place at Oberoi Business Hub to take the business forward and grow in the UK.”
Kavita Oberoi, founder and managing director of Oberoi Business Hub said: “We are delighted to welcome EPG to Oberoi Business Hub and look forward to working with them to achieve their growth plans through our serviced office accommodation and call handling support.
“Serviced office accommodation is the perfect solution for a wide range of businesses from start-ups to international companies looking for a UK base particularly in terms of having the flexibility to grow and adapt in today’s fast-moving economy.
Call handling by a dedicated team is also an extremely cost-effective way of ensuring that a business makes the right first impression and never misses a call.”
