A British logistics company that provides international transport management services for freight lanes in over 30 countries worldwide has moved to new offices in Leicestershire to accommodate the company's expansion.

3t which also has subsidiary offices in Paris and Spain, has relocated its European headquarters to Enderby, a few miles south west of Leicester city centre near the M1and M69 intersection. The new premises are three times larger than the previous offices to house the company's 50 staff and continuing expansion.

"This relocation will enable us to meet our high growth targets and establish 3t as a leading logistics service provider in Europe. Our new offices are in an ideal location, centrally based for all areas of the UK," he comments. "As well as helping our customers to reduce their transport costs, the government has set ambitious carbon trading/reduction targets which we are helping a wide range of companies in different industries to meet."

The company enable their clients to minimise transport costs by reducing waste in the supply chain and manage around €50 million of transport activity annually. Their client portfolio consists of many household names including JCB and Linpac Packaging.
