The Works and Europa Sign on the Dotted Line

Europa Air & Sea, a division of ambitious and independent logistics provider Europa Worldwide Group, has been re-awarded its long-standing contract with one of the UK’s leading multi-channel specialist retailers of value books, arts, crafts, toys, gifts and stationery.

Europa Air & Sea has worked with The Works for 5 years and as of this month (March) will continue to oversee and manage its inbound movements for another term, having impressed the retailer by delivering a seamless and integrated service during one of its busiest periods to date.

The Works, which employs more than 3,000 people and operates 500 stores across the UK, serves 22.5 million customers each year, with more than 40,000 different products sold annually.

Mark Haywood, Procurement Manager of The Works, said: “Europa performed beyond expectations during an exceptionally busy peak trading period for us in 2019. Their inbound management at both Felixstowe and Southampton ports and at the rail head in Coleshill was a slick, streamlined, end to end success.

“With exciting IT developments that will lead to operational savings being realised in Q2 of 2020, we are pleased to be extending our agreement and partnering with Europa once again.”
