Aramex is targeting freight forwarders in the UK and Ireland with a specialist road freight service to and from Scandinavia.
The door-to-door service offers twice-weekly, guaranteed departures to not only the all major cities across Scandinavia and Finland but also to Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
It hopes to attract small and medium-sized forwarders which currently have limited access to these markets with the neutrality of the service, which is available from all Aramex’ UK and Irish branches.
Jim Armour, Aramex UK managing director, said: “Our wide experience in the wholesale air express market to the Middle East and the recent growth of our road freight services to continental Europe have shown conclusively that there is a gap in the market to this part of our region and it is a niche which we can fill.”
