PostNL’s international subsidiary, Spring GDS, has announced that it will triple its processing capacity to 25,000 items per day at its Haydock site in St Helens, UK.
The expansion will enable Spring GDS to speed up processing and dispatch times into the EU for customers in northern England and Scotland, and comes just months after the official opening of Spring GDS’s new UK hub at London Heathrow.
E-commerce hub
Kelly van der Weg, managing director of Spring Global Delivery Solutions UK, said, “In these unusual times, the UK has the potential to become an even more important hub for international e-commerce providers seeking routes into Europe and the USA.
“Together with our new Heathrow facility, increased capacity at Haydock will help us to continue to untap potential for our ambitious customer base in important e-commerce centers – whether they are transporting apparel, wool or even golf equipment. It also highlights our ongoing commitment to providing an efficient service to customers including those in the North and Scotland.”
