Following the completion of cargo-partner’s acquisition of Aztek International Freight Ltd earlier this year, the company continues to grow in the UK, with the Manchester team now relocating to a new office, to support further development of the team, services and products.
After embarking on a joint venture with Aztek International Freight Ltd in 2021, cargo-partner acquired the remaining shares of the UK-based company earlier this year. Over the last few months, the team has grown to 70 UK employees in three locations across the UK.
cargo-partner’s UK Managing Director Neil Murray, said of the announcement: “We’re pleased to have delivered on such an ambitious growth strategy so far this year, with new service offerings and multiple new team members highlighting our current positive momentum – but we’re not stopping there.
“With existing offices in Manchester, Bradford and East London, we are pleased to announce that we have opened the doors to a new office by Manchester Airport as we continue to deliver on our expansive strategy for the UK and beyond.”
Following the acquisition of Aztek International, the two teams have collaborated fantastically over the last 12 months, having previously worked together as separate businesses for many years. The full UK cargo-partner team is now able to provide air, sea, road and comprehensive customs services.
Neil Murray, added: “We’ve got an incredibly exciting future ahead of us. This is no ‘ordinary’ office and represents all the individuals working at cargo-partner. A place where our personalities can shine through, and we can be our true authentic selves whilst continuing to deliver exceptional service to our clients and partners.
“We look forward to welcoming more customers and clients to our offices, so please get in touch with our UK teams for a full-service solution and see how cargo-partner can benefit your logistical needs”.
Since opening the UK branch, cargo-partner has handled a variety of freight shipments for customers from the automotive, aerospace, healthcare, retail and consumer industries.
The Austrian-based logistics provider has had a very strong presence in Central and Eastern Europe but has recently substantially invested in expanding its footprint in Western Europe. The company has long established branch offices in Germany, Benelux, Sweden and Ireland, but has more recently expanded its network into the UK, Italy and Spain, ensuring cargo-partner is now represented in the most important markets in the region.
