Europa gets more room to flex muscles
EUROPA Worldwide Logistics has made a major investment in its northern operation by relocating its Manchester sales office – almost doubling the size of its branch to facilitate growth.
Europa was previously based at Trafford Park for 19 years and has now moved to MediaCity in Salford Quays, with an increased office space of 47%.
The Manchester office – with a workforce of 15 – serves clients from the North West to the rest of the world, handling many large blue chip clients.
The company turned over £73.22m up to December 2013, an increase of 0.7% on the previous year.
Europa says the new office is a strategic investment in one of Europa’s top growth areas, giving a greater presence in Manchester and the North West.
The distinctive Media Village on Waterfront Quay provides 3,685 sq. ft. of commercial space in a waterfront property.
Europa’s regional director Tim Doggett, said: “This is a big step forward for our northern region that will offer our customers many long term benefits.
“The new much larger sales office is in an incredible location, and will allow us to facilitate further growth.
“It comes at a time when we aim to meet an increasing customer demand for both import and export services and the new office will improve efficiency.
“We arranged the office move out of hours during the night, to minimise disruption to the day-to-day running of the branch and completed the move at 5am! The team worked hard with everyone pulling together to demonstrate what we do so well – logistics in its purest and diverse forms.”
