Yusen Logistics Opens New Leeds Operation In The UK

21 November 2011

Yusen Logistics (UK) Ltd has opened a new operation in Stourton, Leeds.

Early in November the company's entire team and operation was transferred from its former facility at Castleford to a new site south east of the city.    

The Leeds operation is integral to Yusen Logistics' high-security network as a cross-dock platform and storage facility. Situated next to rail and with excellent access to the M1, M621 and M62 motorways, the new site will play a key strategic role as an inland import centre. It enables Yusen Logistics to maximise opportunities to take freight off the roads, speeding up movement of products between the UK's air-/ocean ports and inland distribution network.

Ian Veitch, Managing Director, Yusen Logistics (UK), commented: "We are extremely excited by this move. The location provides a better suited facility to service customers and underlines our commitment to continued provision of a North Yorkshire network platform. The new site's location is optimal and enables vastly improved flexibility for road and rail links."

He added: "We are delighted that all our Castleford staff have transferred to the new operation, bringing with them a wealth of experience."
