Kerry Logistics has acquired two UK freight forwarding companies: Bergen Freight Forwarding, based in Manchester, and Yorkshire's Regency Forwarding.
"Bergen and Regency will strengthen the Kerry Logistics' network in the UK and across Europe, as well as extending our reach into the UK's major manufacturing regions in the North of England," says Gary Wilcock, managing director, Europe at the freight and logistics services provider.
Bergen is a long established company, specialising in sea freight imports from India and the Far East.
Regency offers airfreight, sea freight and international trailer movements for both imports and exports. Locally, the company will enable Kerry Logistics to extend its coverage across the industrial heartland of Yorkshire and the north east of England.
