Britannia Bureau chose the site due to its strategic and multi-modal location
Britannia Bureau, an independent supply chain logistics and customs processes improvement consultancy, has taken occupation of a high-tech office facility at DP World London Gateway Logistics Centre.
This facility opens after a period of rapid expansion for Britannia Bureau. Brexit contingency planning, plus significant client wins, has required substantial scaling up of their operation and additional premises in which the company can continue to grow. Britannia Bureau’s London Gateway facility joins the company’s expanding network, with offices, associates and customs warehouses in the UK, EU, Asia Pacific and USA.
Britannia Bureau chose the London Gateway site thanks to its strategic and multi-modal location, adjacent to the state-of-the-art London Gateway port, and with several international rail and road connections on site. The move supports Britannia Bureau’s strategic goals of engaging more closely with port operations, tackling modern logistics challenges and advising clients on the sophisticated logistics infrastructure offered by DP World.
London Gateway is able to work with prospective occupiers on a range of build-to-suit solutions, ranging from 100,000 sq ft to 1.6 million sq ft, with fast delivery times following agreement for lease. Planning permission can be obtained within only 28 days as a result of London Gateway’s Local Development Order.
“We decided to engage with the world class facilities being offered by DP,” remarked Mark Taylor, Managing Director, Britannia.
“Proven expertise, such as Britannia’s, in handling the complex issues faced by the UK’s leading high street retailers importing inventory into the UK is a bedrock upon which the supply chain is reliant,” commented Oliver Treneman, Park Development Director, DP World London Gateway.
