Europa marks 1year for 1hub
Europa Worldwide Group has marked its first anniversary in its £30m Dartford 1hub.
In May 2015 Europa moved its entire operation and its then 250 employees there to the new site – which is now the UK’s largest European groupage hub and sees all 11 of Europa’s UK regional branches trunk directly into it.
Europa now channels all its volume through 1hub and has therefore been able to increase its number of direct, daily departures to the continent, with plans to switch all lines to daily over the next 12 months.
Andrew Baxter, Managing Director at Europa Worldwide Group commented: “The last 12 months have not been without their challenges and it has taken a little while for new systems and structures to be bedded in. We’re hugely grateful for the loyalty and commitment of both staff and most importantly our customers and we’re delighted to be marking one year in Dartford.”
To celebrate the anniversary, 50 new Europa starters who have joined over the last 12 months tucked into a truck-shaped, 2 ft long birthday cake, large enough feed the 300 staff based at the Dartford site.
The 50 new employees who have joined Europa since the move from Erith have filled newly created posts covering a wide range of roles from administration to sales and warehouse.
