FIEGE expands operations into Great Britain
The logistics company FIEGE will open a new multi-user centre in Hams Hall near Birmingham, further advancing its expansion and growth strategy.
The FIEGE Group is expanding its operations into Great Britain: In Hams Hall – just off Birmingham (England) – is where the logistics company from Greven in Westphalia has launched operations at a new, cutting-edge multi-user centre. FIEGE will oversee the fulfilment for a portfolio customer operating in eCommerce on an area of more than 24,000 square metres in Hams Hall. More GB customers are to follow. For this, FIEGE is expecting to hire up to 750 employees at its new location.
Jens Fiege, who has been running the fifth-generation, 150-year-old family business with his cousin, Felix Fiege, says this about the expansion: “Entering the British market is an important step for us in fortifying our European network. At the same time, our new logistics centre supports the growth of a key portfolio customer from the eCommerce segment for whom we already perform fufilment services across Europe.” And Felix Fiege adds: “The start in Great Britain is a milestone for us. By taking this step, we are closing a gap in our European presence. Going forward, we will be able to offer even better and more comprehensive services to our customers across Europe. We are excited about writing a new FIEGE chapter in England together with our highly motivated team, in addition to crafting new stories about success and growth in collaboration with our customer.”
