“Our investment underscores DACHSER’s commitment to the UK market and despite the prevailing uncertainties regarding Brexit reflects our optimism regarding the future of the country’s trade with the rest of Europe,” says Mark Rollinson, Managing Director DACHSER UK.

Since the acquisition of J. A. Leach Transport Limited in 2010, DACHSER’s business in the UK has grown fivefold, necessitating the expansion of storage capacities in the country. Rollinson continues: “This investment supports not only our growth ambitions in the North of the UK but also means that we can continue to meet and exceed our customers’ service and quality expectations”, adds Rollinson.
