DACHSER celebrates 10th year anniversary

17 September 2015

Dachser’s branch in Dartford celebrates 10 years trading in September.

Dachser DartfordThe branch operates the company’s Southern UK hub with its road freight services departing daily to and from Europe.

The branch opened with 25 employees, and has increased steadily over the years. 65 members of staff now organise some 15,000 shipments every month, and the business continues to develop. In addition to the European services, Dachser in Dartford operates a direct trailer service to and from Morocco and Tunisia, and also offers seafreight and airfreight forwarding services to its growing client base.

A highly customer-focused approach puts quality and reliability at the heart of Dachser’s service offering. Customer satisfaction is further enhanced through the benefits of Dachser’s eLogistics facility which provides on line booking, real time track and trace and proofs of delivery.

Mick Adams, Dachser’s Sales Manager for the South, is very pleased to have witnessed such a successful growth in business. “Having been here from day one, it’s clear that our customers have come to appreciate the value and reliability of our services.” he explained, “I’ve no doubt that we will continue to expand our facilities and develop our services in the future.”

Dachser has its UK headquarters and new purpose-built Logistics centre in Northampton that opened in 2014, as well as a North West hub in Rochdale which started operations in 2010 following the acquisition of JA Leach Transport.
