UK-based third-party logistics (3PL) company Speedy Freight is expanding into the United States with the opening of a new office in Dallas, Texas, marking a significant step in the company's global growth strategy.
Speedy Freight chose Dallas for its strategic location, central positioning in the US, and robust business environment. The new office will offer a wide range of 3PL services, including full truckloads, less-than-truckloads, drayage, expedited shipping, and cross-border operations. The company aims to provide tailored logistics and fulfillment solutions for businesses of all sizes, from start-ups to multinational corporations.
The Dallas branch will utilize Speedy Freight's in-house developed technology for inventory and supply chain management. This system integrates seamlessly with online stores, enabling efficient stock management, warehousing, and cross-docking capabilities. Clients will benefit from a transportation and warehousing management system that provides real-time job status updates and easy access to quotes, active jobs, and invoices via an online portal.
The expansion into the US follows Speedy Freight's recent growth in the EU, with new locations in Dublin and Spain.
“The high level of commercial activity in and around Dallas-Fort Worth makes it the perfect location for Speedy Freight,” said Chief Operating Officer John Munnelly. “We're confident our team will hit the ground running with their personalized logistics service offerings.”
Mike Smith, Chief Executive Officer at Speedy Freight, highlighted the significance of this expansion. “This is a massive milestone for Speedy Freight, and we see a huge opportunity in North America for future expansion. Our franchising model is perfectly suited to the US business landscape, and we're confident that this is just the first of many USA offices.”
Speedy Freight, founded in 2006, has grown significantly over the past 18 years. The company now has over 60 branches across the UK and Europe, serving nearly 10,000 customers. .
