New Head of Sales Appointed at Europa’s Largest Facility

Europa Warehouse has appointed its first Head of Sales at its state-of-the-art £60m facility in Corby, Northants which is set to open this summer.

Europa Worldwide Group is an ambitious independent logistics operator with six divisions – Europa Road, Europa Air & Sea, Europa Showfreight, Europa Warehouse, Europa Contact Centre and Continental Cargo Carriers. The new Corby site will become Europa’s largest facility in the UK.

Sally Watson, who joined Europa as a Senior Account Manager in 2014, has swiftly progressed up the management ladder within the business, first to Branch Manager in Nottingham, then Birmingham and now to Head of Sales for Europa Warehouse. She said: “I’m thrilled to have been promoted to this very exciting new position at a time of such growth and expansion for Europa. Our new facility in Corby is at the forefront of innovation within the logistics sector, so discussing its credentials and contract requirements is proving to be a really rewarding and positive experience as everyone is keen to learn more about it.

Midlands Logistics Park in Corby has already created 2,200 local jobs since 2015. Built on the site of a former British Steel quarry and latterly Stanion Plantation, Midlands Logistics Park covers 150 acres. Corby is an established and strategic industrial and distribution location in the heart of the East Midlands, and benefits from excellent connectivity due to recent road network upgrades. Europa is looking to recruit a team of 200 ready for its site opening.
