Bank of China Tower where Europa offices are located in Hong Kong New offices opened up in Hong Kong and Singapore
Having weathered the economic downturn in 2009, EUROPA WORLDWIDE LOGISTICS starts the New Year in a confident mood and is encouraged by the continued success and growth of the company’s worldwide operations.

Director, Andy Kennedy says “Although today’s economic climate has been exceptionally challenging, Europa is still acquiring new business in all areas of its operations. One result of this good performance is our announcement that we have recently opened up offices in Hong Kong and Singapore. This move reflects the increasing amount of business we are carrying in the region, and serves to further establish our credentials as a worldwide logistics and courier provider. As well as this being an encouraging sign of growth to our business, it also enables us to deal directly with potential new customers throughout the region by continuing to offer a first-class door-to-door service”.

Europa offers importers from the region both airfreight and seafreight options, together with a wide range of logistics facilities, including dedicated bonded warehousing, pick-and-pack, in-house customs-clearance, ERTS deconsolidation and fast distribution throughout the UK. The company provides these services to a diverse customer-base within a wide range of commercial and industrial sectors, including electronics, pharmaceuticals, clothes and textiles, automotive and multi-media, among many others.

Adds Mr. Kennedy: “The qualities sought in any logistics provider have to be the ability to help develop the customer’s supply chain. By constantly adapting its services to meet consumer demands Europa is one of the few leading logistics companies that can provide a complete worldwide logistics package. Our experienced customer advisers can demonstrate the cost-savings and efficiencies which Europa can achieve, and are ready to work with customers as a partner, in providing them with advice and a specialist service that only an experienced operator can provide”

Europa will also be launching its new website early in the new year
