“Acquiring this additional warehouse I believe demonstrates DACHSER’s continued desire to grow Contract Logistics within the UK,” comments Ian Brunt, General Manager Northampton & Head of Contract Logistics. “The increased capacity provides a platform for us to further demonstrate our high quality and best in class capabilities to a wider range of customers and industry sectors”.

Its location within the UK’s ‘golden triangle’ is perfectly suited for DACHSER’s road services in the UK and Europe as well as integration with air and sea logistics around the world.
