Express Trailers is announcing further growth to its vast network of European hubs with a new hub in Birmingham in the UK to where is will start operating a new weekly road freight service.

This new development was made possible thanks to a partnership agreement with Sheldon Clayton Logistic Group. Based in West Bromwich, Sheldon Clayton Logistics offer complete multimodal logistics services including pallet storage, transport, groupage services and freight forwarding. The company, established 35 years ago also supplies cost-effective distribution and warehousing services.

Besides keeping costs stable, this new collaboration should help Maltese importers and exporters work closer with their clients and help them achieve faster collection and delivery times. We also hope this development will lead to more new business opportunities for our clients and also for Sheldon Clayton's customers who want to strengthen their groupage activity to Malta and the neighbouring regions," said David Fleri Soler, Marketing & Business Development Manager at Express Trailers.
