Dartford’s Europa continues overseas expansion with Irish branch
Dartford based logistics operator Europa Worldwide Group has invested in its first sales branch in Ireland.
The company’s growing international footprint has been growing significantly following an £3million increase in investment in the companies European Road Freight Sales Network since 2022.
This Irish branch is located at the Spaces offices at Dublin Airport and is close to the main transport roads going in and out of Dublin. The site will open with a team of three including Branch Manager Elliott Watts who also launched Europa’s Cambridge branch in 2022.
Elliott said: ‘’The opening of the new Dublin office marks a tremendously exciting milestone for Europa Road as a business, and I am thrilled to be heading up this new team. Having a local presence means that we will be able to support and advise Dublin’s businesses with import and export services, specifically on our pan European daily routes.”
The new branch opens at a time when data from the Central Statistics Office shows that Irish goods exports increased by 27 per cent in the first 11 months of 2022, compared with the same period the previous year.
Branch Network and Sales Director at Europa Adrian Redmile said: “We’re very pleased to appoint Elliott as our Branch Manager and welcome the rest of the Dublin team to the Europa network.
“The opening of our Dublin offices also helps to enhance our sales network, which is an important part of our strategy to fill the gaps and thus increase our footprint across Northern and Southern Ireland.”
Despite the economic situation affecting the market, Europa plans for continued investment overseas. The company believes that improving logistics capacity and capabilities for local businesses will help them navigate a constantly changing marketplace.
