International transport and logistics provider cargo-partner has opened its first warehouse facility in the UK.

Located next to one of cargo-partner’s offices in Basildon, the new 4,460 sqm warehouse facility complements the firm’s existing UK operational offices in Manchester, Bradford, and London.

Equipped with dedicated areas for pallet storage, block storage, storage of small parts, picking/packing and other value-added services, cargo-partner says the Basildon warehouse seamlessly integrates with its global network, and marks a significant milestone in the company’s strategic expansion efforts.

The new warehouse provides a multi-functional road hub facilitating nationwide import, export, distribution and e-commerce services.

Fergal Keenan, cargo-partner‘s managing director Ireland and UK, said: “We’re delighted to be continuing to deliver on our growth strategy, providing another great location for us to support our customers and partners.

“While we have always offered warehousing services through partners, the Basildon facility represents our first cargo-partner managed warehousing facility in the UK.

“This strategic investment marks a significant milestone in our journey to provide end-to-end logistics solutions to our customers.”
