ARAMEX (DFM:ARMX), the total transportation and logistics solutions provider, has expanded its flagship European operation at London Heathrow and moved to a new 30,000 sq foot premises enabling it to bring three of its group companies under one roof.

The new ARAMEX House in Colnbrook brings all the London Heathrow operations of ARAMEX, Priority Airfreight and TwoWay Vanguard – together for the first time in one centre – in readiness for the re-branding of the whole group as ARAMEX.

This move marks a significant progress in the integration processes that followed the acquisitions of Priority Airfreight, the UK-based express service provider, and TwoWay-Vanguard the Dublin-based logistics and freight service provider. Placing all staff under one roof will now enable the company to further enhance communications compatibilities and develop business synergies, at the same time as providing considerable scope for growing the business.

"We have a fantastic new location which will enable us to consolidate our service offerings as a one stop shop transportation provider and to grow our freight, logistics and express businesses," states Camille Nasrallah, ARAMEX' Senior Vice President who is based at ARAMEX House.  "Being located here, we're also ideally placed for the opening of Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 when it goes live and our access to one of the world's leading international air hubs couldn't be simpler”.

“ARAMEX' one-stop-shop credentials are vital to the organisation's future development as it further extends our capabilities across the European region”, added Nasrallah

Customers who use a variety of ARAMEX' international services  and visit the new premises will now be able to liaise with all key team members on one floor whereas previously they would have had to call on three separate buildings. Additional truck docks have been added to the new ARAMEX House to provide express, air and ocean with a seamless facility.
