TNT expands in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain
The announcement of the expansion by TNT, the leading business-to-business express carrier, was made by Mark Pell, managing director Gulf and Saudi Arabia.
Ben Roberts, former country manager-Kuwait is heading up an expanded sales division in the capital and Al Ain and the company’s new depot in Abu Dhabi is in full swing. The new depot has brought about a streamlining of services and transit times.
TNT has undertaken major expansion of its operations in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain with a major new facility and additional personnel, the company has revealed.
Pell says: ‘We now operate our trucking network in and out of all the GCC countries and we created the Abu Dhabi road hub because of its massive success. We recently opened a new state-of-the-art depot in Kuwait for the same reason. The Abu Dhabi road hub has streamlined our transit time in the UAE and that is why we are stepping up our operation in Al Ain. We can offer customers in Al Ain the best service they have ever had.
‘Ben Roberts brings a wealth of experience from all over the Middle East to his new role in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.Indeed, he is a former manager of the Abu Dhabi operation.’
Roberts says the powerhouse road network and the new Abu Dhabi depot give TNT a ‘major advantage’ in the capital and Al Ain.
‘Customers in Al Ain will benefit from outstanding service now our new depot in Abu Dhabi is in full swing.’
Roberts says the multi-million-dollar facility at Abu Dhabi Airport is ‘geographically superb’ within the GCC to operate a Road Hub. It also enables TNT to bring about immediate clearance for TNT’s consignments coming into the capital by road or air.
TNT’s road network in the Gulf has been one of the industry’s major success stories and extensive expansion is on the way, including throughout the Middle East and even to Europe.
