TNT Express today announced that it is investing USD810,000 in new facilities in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain (UAE) to establish closer links with its customers and provide them with a greater variety of products. The facilities – to open by the end of the year – are a direct response to TNT’s growth in the Emirates region, as Abu Dhabi in particular, strives to expand at the same rate as Dubai. With the high street outlet in Al Ain offering a full range of products, services and sales staff to provide assistance, the aim is also to serve the increasing needs of our customers. “Many of TNT’s regular customers operate from branches in Al Ain, so this new office will facilitate better communications, performance and delivery,” said Mark Pell, TNT Managing Director, Gulf. “Historically we have serviced Al Ain from Dubai but now we are looking to provide local resources to this market. TNT’s new outlet will establish the company’s presence in Al Ain and will be followed by additional facilities over the next twelve months”, continued Pell.

TNT Express aims to have 60 per cent of its UAE consignments booked through its on-line products by mid 2006 said Mark Pell, TNT’s Managing Director, Gulf. To use the system, customers require an active account with TNT’s on-line service ‘myTNT’ and an e-mail address to which confirmations can be sent. The email contains details such as booking reference, company name, where packages should be collected and the date and time the pick-up takes place. The system will be rolled out in Bahrain and Kuwait by November this year.
