Europa Worldwide Group opens new Gatwick Airport branch
Dartford-based logistics operator Europa Worldwide Group has announced it is opening a new branch in Gatwick.
The new branch is located at Gatwick Airport Manor Royal’s Regus offices, only two miles from both Gatwick Airport and the M23, one of London’s main access roads.
With Gatwick Airport having recently applied to use its back-up Northern Runway on a regular basis from 2029, cargo volumes could see a huge increase in the coming decades, reaching up to 350,000 tonnes each year by 2057.
Opening on 1 January 2023, the new branch will be staffed by a team of five led by branch manager Carys Shears. It is hoped this headcount will double by the end of the branch’s first year.
Carys, who has been promoted from her existing role of Regional Account Manager, joins the new branch with eight years’ management experience in customer-focussed businesses such as Sainsbury’s and Marks and Spencer.

Adrian Redmile, Branch Network and Sales Director commented: “Opening our new branch in Gatwick is an exciting step forward as we continue to increase our European footprint. The recent announcement of investment into national infrastructure in and around the Gatwick area will be of huge benefit to our customers within the road freight division.
“We recognise that physical presence within an area helps to solidify good customer service, boost engagement, and create loyalty all of which are vital to the daily operating processes at Europa Road.
“Having a local team also means we will be able to support Gatwick’s growing supply chain and support them with import and export – specifically on our pan European daily services. The businesses growth has gone from strength to strength over the past 12 months, and I look forward to the continued success as we work to deliver our complete logistics solutions.”
