Freight customs specialist Derry Bros has expanded its presence within the UK and mainland Europe with the opening of two new offices in London and Poznan. The company has increased its office network to four to meet strong demand for customs clearance support from hauliers contending with new and updated border legislation.
“There is a growing realisation within the international logistics marketplace that getting customs clearance processed quickly and accurately is crucial for cross-border freight movements,” explains Colin Robb, Operations Director at Derry Bros. “As a result, hauliers are increasingly seeking trusted and proven customs partners, so it is essential we have the support infrastructure and office network in place to meet the needs of new and existing customers.”
Poznan has become a major transport hub for freight movements between the UK, Poland and other Eastern European destinations. The new Derry Bros office will be headed by Monika Kicińska, who has been appointed as Sales Manager for Poland and Europe. She brings extensive customs and logistics experience to the position, having spent over seven years in business development roles for DTA Group International and Gerlach Customs Agency. Meanwhile, the London office has been set-up at the Hallmark Trading Estate in Wembley to maximise growth opportunities and better serve local customers in the UK.
“Hauliers require seamless movement of freight between Ireland, the UK and mainland Europe, but often face costly delays and unnecessary overheads. With the expansion of our office network, we are well-placed to support our customers using our proven proposition to achieve smooth and efficient customs clearance,” adds Robb.
