Redhead finds Czech mate with frieght deal
Logistics company Redhead International, based in Burton-on-Trent, is expanding its European operations by signing an exclusive agreement with a Czech freight company.
Redhead said the deal with AWT Čechofracht will provide it with an increasingly flexible service into and out of Eastern Europe, Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
The company has worked with Čechofracht for a several years in northern England, with the new agreement making it the Czech company's sole UK partner.
The deal will provide the company's Burton-on-Trent depot - which was opened in 2008 with a 3,000-pallet capacity – easier access into key international markets.
"We are constantly looking to improve both our services and client support, and having established a significant footprint in Eastern Europe, Russia and the CIS, we were keen to work with a partner that would enable us to enhance the quality of service," said Tim Harrison, Redhead’s manager.
"It is an exciting opportunity that will bring benefits for both our clientele and each organization."
