TNT Express opens new depot
TNT Express, the B2B express delivery company, opened a new depot in Howden in East Riding. The new depot, on the Ozone Park trading estate, handles up to 25,000 items each week. It sits within a 30-mile radius of TNT Express’ other depots, putting local businesses within easy reach of an extensive road network including the M62, M18, M1 and A1 motorways.
Alistair Cochrane, Managing Director TNT Express Services UK & Ireland, said: “The new Howden depot enables us to enhance our service capability in the area. The closer proximity to customers means we can process shipments quicker and provide later cut-off times, which enables later collections.
“TNT Express customers benefit from a smooth and efficient operation. Howden is part of our continued investment in the business and our ability to provide customers with the most cost-effective solutions to their delivery needs.”
The company has created 32 new jobs at the depot – 26 Loading Bay Operatives and a six-strong traffic office and management team. It has also provided 40 new rounds for sub-contracted drivers.
