Now truly global not just European!!

On 31st May 2018, we acquired the assets and staff of Westhaven Worldwide Logistics (WWL) in Solihull, Birmingham.

WWL are a specialist sea and air freight forwarding company who are members of the world’s largest  forwarding partner network, the World Cargo Alliance ( WCA ). The WCA has 6897 independent freight forwarding members in 190 countries and 817 cities and ports around the world.

I said in a recent press release......, “This is a great opportunity to get our brand known around the globe via the WCA network. With the current uncertainty surrounding Brexit and its implications on our core market, European road freight, diversifying into sea and air freight and inheriting a team of specialist global freight forwarding professionals can only further assure the company’s successful future. It was particularly gratifying that we were the purchaser of choice selected by WWL due to the decision made last year to transfer ownership of Espace to its staff via an Employee Ownership Trust.”

The 3 members of WWL’s staff joined the Espace team in Lichfield on Monday 4th June 2018. Their General Manager, Rob Taylor said, “ We’d heard of Espace by reputation. Having now met the whole team, I am very confident that we have made the right choice and that our staff and customers will flourish at Espace.”
