Northampton, 22 January 2015. International transport logistics service provider Dachser UK has confirmed its membership of the Chemical Business Association (CBA) underlining the Company’s commitment to the chemical supply chain sector in the UK.
The CBA is the voice of the UK chemical supply chain and Dachser is pleased to add its own brand of European transport, distribution and warehouse operations skills to the pool of professional expertise already represented by members of this prestigious association.
The CBA represents a wide range of businesses – from distributors and traders to manufacturers and blenders as well as logistics service providers. It delivers advocacy for members of the chemical industry in Westminster and Brussels; it offers key compliance information and advice on regulatory demands and other legal requirements and is an effective disseminator of supply chain best-practice through its seminars and workshops.
Nick Lowe, Dachser UK’s Managing Director, in announcing his Company’s new affiliation, said, “The UK chemical sector has great export potential and we at Dachser are committed to serving those producers and distributors seeking to fulfil that potential with regular cargo flows throughout continental Europe. We have joined the CBA, as a leading proactive professional body, to strengthen our market presence in this important sector.”
CBA’s Chief Executive, Peter Newport, said, “I would like to welcome Dachser UK into CBA membership and very much value its support for our work on behalf of the chemical supply chain.”
Dachser UK is also a member of The Hazchem Network, linking regional logistics companies that specialise in dangerous goods, via a hub and spoke transport system that provides fast, secure and reliable distribution throughout the UK. As additional reassurance for shippers the Network also provides 24/7 access to an Emergency Response help-line.
