DailyFresh eyes expansion with new centre at Dunkirk: The company has strengthened its position as one of Europe's most important logistics providers with the inauguration of a new logistics platform in Dunkirk

摘要

THE opening of a new consolidation centre in Dunkirk, France, by logistics service provider DailyFresh has coincided with one of the busiest periods ever in the company's history. Following the centre's inauguration at the beginning of May, demand forstonefruit and salad products such as tomatoes, lettuce and peppers on the UK market in particular has gone through the roof, buoyed by the hot weather that Europe has been basking in for the past few weeks. According to DailyFresh managing director Erik de Vries, the first two weeks in June saw an unprecedented rise in demand for fresh produce in the UK, with the required transport capacity reaching "record levels". With UK customers proving more selective in recent years, logistics providers such asDailyFresh have begun to offer consolidated services and single-drop deliveries, changes that are likely to be made easier by the advent of the new consolidation centre at Dunkirk.
