Aramex UK has opened a new branch in Aberdeen, Scotland, as part of its ongoing strategy to deepen its footprint across the UK and to better service customers within the region.
Recognising Aberdeen's strategic importance, Aramex UK has chosen the city as its hub where it will also invest in a new warehousing facility, primarily as a result of it being situated near the city’s world-class port.
The Port of Aberdeen, renowned for its international trade connections, acts as a critical gateway to over 40 countries, making it an ideal base for Aramex UK’s operations north of the border – ensuring that businesses receive end-to-end support tailored to their specific needs.
With Aramex UK boasting excellent links to the Middle East in particular, its new set-up will enable for smooth and seamless shipping services for businesses looking to export from Scotland to anywhere in the world.
The company, which is headquartered in Dubai, is also able to offer businesses unprecedented access to the Middle East. Boasting a global logistics network which spans across more than 600 offices, in over 70 countries, Aramex UK has the unique capability of leveraging the company’s international network to provide seamless, efficient, and reliable logistics solutions to large-scale organisations as well as to SMEs.
From its new facility, the international logistics specialist’s branch will offer a comprehensive range of logistics services to customers, including air, ocean, and road freight, as well as warehousing and courier solutions.
The newly formed branch will be led by Adam Demus, who steps into the role of Branch Manager with a wealth of experience in working within a wide range of sectors. Alongside a dedicated project team, he will focus on delivering tailored solutions that meet the diverse and complex needs of Aramex UK's customers, both new and existing.
Aramex UK National Freight Manager Haissam Badr has emphasised that the new facility will not only strengthen the company's presence in Scotland but also enhance its ability to provide localised and efficient logistics solutions to businesses in the region.
Haissam commented:
“We are thrilled to expand our UK operations into Scotland with the opening of our new branch in Aberdeen, led by our newly appointed Branch Manager Adam Demus.
“Establishing our new branch and warehousing facility within the city was in many ways a no brainer once the opportunity presented itself, especially when factoring in its transportation and trade links.
“This strategic decision was driven by our commitment to better serve businesses north of the border with greater impact. Having a facility in this key region ultimately allows us to provide responsive and localised logistics solutions to businesses of all shapes and sizes, ensuring the smooth and efficient shipping from Scotland to anywhere in the world.”
