Growing local logistics provider, Europa Road, is moving to a new location with a historic past. Previously, Belfast’s first ever full-time cinema – Europa Road’s dedicated Belfast team is hoping to be the next ‘blockbuster’ for Northern Irish businesses that trade with the rest of the UK and EU.
Recent Government data shows a positive trajectory with exports from Northern Ireland to the EU increasing by 1.9 per cent throughout 2024.
Supporting this positive progress, Europa Road, part of Britain’s largest independent European road freight provider Europa Worldwide Group, is breathing new life into the historic space and old cinema at St George’s Building, 37-41 High Street to accommodate team growth
Europa’s new home was originally built as a commercial space with several units and a large hall for public meetings, it then became Belfast’s Apothecaries Hall and the city’s first full-time cinema in 1908.
Starting a new chapter for the historic space, the Belfast team has tripled in size since the firm opened in the city in 2018.
Europa chose to open its first Irish branch in Belfast because it is home to many high-growth companies and an advanced infrastructure for engineering and manufacturing. Europa now supports the region’s key industries who export to Europe and the rest of the UK, from construction materials and defence equipment to aerospace components.
James Hammond, Branch Manager, shares his insight: “We have moved to our new office to ensure we can continue to make a strong regional impact and provide market-leading solutions. We pride ourselves on offering exceptional customer service which is how we have been able to develop a strong network of customers across the region.
“Our new central location is perfect for continuing this positive trajectory. The new office has a special history, and we’re proud to continue its story.
“This important step is evidence of our success and our clear goals to continue growth. This extra space paired with our enhanced leadership structure provides us with the scalability to grow our team further and enhance our services.”
