Hireco to Establish Base at DP World London Gateway
9th August 2016
One of the UKs largest truck and trailer specialists is to work with DP World London Gateway to provide an essential support service to the UKs newest deep-sea container terminal and its adjacent logistics park.
Hireco, a leading contract hire and maintenance specialist for the road haulage industry, will initially provide facilities for hauliers using the Port and Logistics Park with onsite ancillary services for their fleets, reducing both transport costs and hauliers impacts on the environment.
The facility incorporates accessible parking and benefits from easy access to DP World London Gateway Port, as well as other key routes.
Further discussions are taking place between Hireco and DP World London Gateway Port and Logistics Park to expand onsite services, with hopes of developing three acres to offer chassis hire, vehicle engineering facilities, MOT testing services, parts sales and refrigeration engineering.
As the largest chassis leasing company and the largest buyer of articulated trailers in the UK, Hireco is the latest growing business to work with and serve DP World London Gateway Port and Logistics Park.
James Smith, Managing Director, Hireco, said: Were delighted to be expanding our business at DP World London Gateway. The Port and Logistics Park are thriving, warehouse development and lettings close to the port are increasing. This is the future of port-centric distribution – and the opportunity for Hireco to be based at DP World London Gateway is one we are keen to capitalise on.
The chassis leasing side of our business became operational on site from July 1st, 2016 but for the future, Hireco is aiming to provide its customers with a complete one-stop shop.
This will include tyre replacement and maintenance, fridge services, maintenance and repairs, truck and trailer hire and fast-moving replacement parts. Our aim is to keep users of the port moving, so maximising up-time will be key. Our clients wont have to travel unnecessary mileage to keep their assets operational and legal. This will therefore be a huge cost saving and benefit for all port users.
