Full Loads and Groupage
Armistead European operates a rapidly growing distribution service across the European mainland. A service for full loads is offered, but it is the groupage, or part loads on which Armistead European concentrates. The service is offered both to mainland Europe and back to the UK.
An Extending Network, Door-to-Door
Loads are initially brought into our network either Scotland, North England and North West. These are then ready for dispatch. Alternatively, loads can be collected en route. With most loads commencing in the North, speedy consolidation on the outbound vehicle is often possible. The loads are then onward transported to the destination to give a door to door service that is reliable and secure. The same applies for UK returning loads.
The vehicles are accompanied all the way for extra security, something Armistead European's groupage customers particularly value.
All drivers are in mobile phone communication with our European operating centre in Lancashire. There, experienced support staff ensure that all administration is completed to smooth the journey of goods. They also can inform you of your load's progress.
With a history of managing susceptible cargoes, Armistead European is sensitive to the handling requirements of different loads. Typical loads include paper products and textiles, and Armistead European goes to great lengths to ensure no cross contamination, and sensitive handling everytime.
Speedy and Reliable
Being door to door, the service is reliable. It is also speedy. Typical runs to the low countries are completed from Northern England, or on the way en route within 48 hours from collection. Loads to Germany, Holland and Belgium are completed within 72 hours.
