City Link and Net Express Europe partnership expands its European presence
In a bid to further expand its presence in Europe; leading express parcels delivery carrier City Link has begun an awareness programme to increase its European reach.
Net Express Europe (NEE) which City Link is a founding member, is entering a new era with service performance unrivalled and daily record volumes since inception nearly 10 years ago, the formation of 6-leading delivery partners enjoying levels of growth which are surpassing expectations.
City Link has announced it will be increasing the awareness of the network, by investing in the NEE brand to a number of trunk and C&D vehicles in its distinctive new livery.
Collectively, the NEE partners offer City Link customers an impressive range of services and destinations to 22 other European countries to create a dominant force in the European delivery marketplace.
France, for instance, is served by Geodis with 204 depots spanning the country, operating out of the main hub in Gennevilliers (near Paris) and two regional hubs in Montpellier and Lille, operating a fleet of over 4,500 vehicles.
Germany is served by GEL Express Logistik with a hub in Werl and 100 depots, whilst the Netherlands and Belgium are serviced by Schiphol Express, which is based in Amsterdam.
Ontime Logistics is the partner in Austria and Hungary, whilst Seur Internacional based in Barcelona serves Spain & Portugal. All of the other countries are serviced by the 16 specialist agents who work in partnership with the Net Express partners.
“Few people know about the strength of the Net Express Europe operation and its time they did,” says City Link Sales & Marketing Director, Stuart Godman.
“The group provides fantastic levels of service, with many different delivery options, whilst maintaining a high value for money service across all corners of Europe, interlinking seamlessly.
“I hope that by investing in the Net Express Europe brand in the UK through not only our vehicles but through other lanes, we can begin to raise awareness of what the new City Link offers, and with this awareness will come additional business. The initiative is one of several planned to expand our European footprint and is an important first step for the company as it enters a new era in its development,” he adds.
