A road freight operator has delivered a harp across Europe just in time for the Eisteddfod.
Cardiff-based Europa Road transported the harp for Cambrian Harps from Brandenburg, Germany to the Eisteddfod festival.
Chelsea Bartlett, Cardiff Branch Manager, said:
“This was a time sensitive operation which meant our team had to guarantee the best solution to ensure a smooth and reliable delivery. Not only were the tight time constraints a real focus for us, but this cargo was also delicate and needed to be handled with care throughout the transporting process. I’m really proud of the Cardiff team for executing this job seamlessly, ensuring the harp was where it needed to be at the right time.”
In June the branch exceeded its consignment record by logging 300 consignments for the month.
Cardiff is one of Europa Road’s most recent branch additions, having opened in May 2022. The division is part of Britain’s largest independent international road freight provider, Europa Worldwide Group, which has a total of 17 branches across the UK and Ireland. As customs specialists, the local team is dedicated to servicing regional businesses exporting to and from the EU.
Chelsea continued:
“The customer had previously experienced challenges with customs clearance when transporting out of the EU into the UK but due to our evolving infrastructure we were able to guarantee a local, reliable and efficient service.
“This consignment was shipped groupage on FCAFPI terms (Free Carrier, Fees Paid by Importer) which means we complete both sides of customs clearance for exporting out of the EU and importing into the UK, reducing hassle and delays.”
