Cargo-partner opens Heathrow office

[ November 13, 2023   //   ]

Austrian-owned forwarder Cargo-partner has opened its fourth UK office near London Heathrow Airport, adding to its existing locations at Manchester, Basildon, Bradford.

After setting on a joint venture with Aztek International Freight Ltd in 2021, Cargo-partner acquired the remaining shares of the company in 2022.

Over the last few months, the Cargo-partner UK team has grown to 70 employees. The company has appointed Jimi Copperwheat as area manager south and national product manager air cargo, who will oversee operations from this office, and is looking to fill several other new positions in the coming months.

UK managing director, Neil Murray,  explained: “It’s been a fantastic year – we’re continuing to invest in the team, launch new products and solutions across our vast portfolio, and this new London office sees us continue to deliver on our growth strategy, providing another great location for us to support our clients and partners. Our new office is ideally located next to London Heathrow Airport – one of the busiest airports in Europe – providing excellent connectivity and a network of transport options.”

The Austrian-based logistics provider has traditionally had a strong presence in Central and Eastern Europe and 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.
