Ireland Logistics Specialist in UK Expansion
17th February 2020
Irish logistics specialist Morgan McLernon has announced a significant expansion onto the UK Mainland with the establishment of a major new purpose developed site in Telford, Shropshire. The new state-of-the-art 40,000 sq. ft. chilled facility is perfectly situated for linking Ireland with the UK mainland road network.
“This new site opens up an exciting range of new opportunities and possibilities for Morgan McLernon.” said Sean Hughes, Operations Director. “We are looking to expand the site capability to provide third party logistics support services for customers and hauliers wishing to link up with us. We can help with inputting pallets for delivery, loads that need to be rearranged or rebuilt, or help with pallet consolidation. Hauliers may also have a load that has fallen or is damaged. At our new facility we can strip the load, rebuild it, rewrap it, and reload it. This important site is also a hub for cross dock for our Ireland to UK Groupage operation and also our UK to Ireland Groupage operation.”
