Integration in Belgium
Oostende (Belgium)-based business Continental Cargo Carriers, an unaccompanied trailer operation, has now been fully integrated into Europa Road. Continental Cargo Carriers was founded in 1983 and was acquired by Europa in 2018.
The Belgium operation will continue to be headed up by Carlo Turner who has been with Europa for 20 years and recently joined its main board with a promotion to the new position of non-network and continent director.
Europa Road is the growing road freight division of Europa Worldwide Group and provides import and export services. This integration comes at a time of record investment in Belgium by UK firms, post Brexit, as well as increasing imports and exports.
In the last twelve months to February 2022, exports from Belgium grew by nearly 18% and imports by 126%. Besides road, Europa Worldwide Group also comprises air & sea and warehouse divisions. (sh)
