Davies Turner Adds Twice Weekly Door-to-Door Services Between the UK and Poland

Now working with Hellmann Worldwide in Poland. Customers using Davies Turner’s overland trailer services between the UK and Poland now benefit from direct door-to-door services with Tuesday and Friday departures from Davies Turner’s main regional distribution centres in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Dartford.

Dartford, United Kingdom, January 07, 2010 --(PR.com)-- “Our experience in the Polish market extends back to 1998 and Davies Turner is now regarded as the leading groupage and part load operator in this region. Our market share has expanded substantially during this period and it continues to be a major trade lane for the company.”

Furthermore, they offer their customers in these trades the real time facility to track and trace the progress of their shipments through to final delivery, and to access P.O.D’s on-line.

Direct departures from Davies Turner’s main freight hubs enable bookings to be taken up to 12 noon on the day of departure, Very competitive door-to-door transit times of three to four days to and from Poland are offered as standard.

Says Philip Stephenson, Chairman of Davies Turner: “According to Central Statistical Office (GUS) statistics, at a certain point in 2009 Poland was the only EU country to experience a positive GDP growth rate year on year.

“In a pragmatic response to that fact, we have teamed up with Hellmann Worldwide in Poland to further develop and strengthen our presence in this key trade.

“With branches throughout Britain and Ireland, Davies Turner is already one of the leading groupage and full load operators for Central Europe, whilst Hellmann has also developed its own cost-effective service infrastructure in Poland and the Baltic States, including a nationwide distribution network with its own regional depots. Hellmann likewise enjoys a good reputation both for reliability and is one of the foremost groupage specialists in Poland and the Baltic States. With our experienced team in Davies Turner combined with the high standards our partners maintain in Poland for transport and logistics we have an excellent opportunity to continue expanding our market share and to provide comprehensive and top quality service.”

Both Davies Turner and Hellmann Worldwide belong to System Alliance Europe – the association of independent forwarders, through which the two companies give customers easy access to PODs online and complete visibility of the door-to-door movement of their cargoes. Through SAE’s standardised EDI systems, Davies Turner and Hellmann Worldwide have state of the art links for data exchange.

Adds Philip Stephenson: “In 2004, we said that Poland’s accession to the EU would boost our trailer services, and we are determined this expansion will continue.”
