Hamburg-based Rickmers-Linie and Escombe Lambert Holdings have established a new liner agency company in the UK - Rickmers-Linie Agency.
Headquartered in Barking, East London, with a branch office in Middlesbrough in NE England, the new company will take over all responsibility for marketing and sales activity throughout the UK, effective September 1st.
The new company will be headed by Escombe Lambert's Ian Ennis, and David Greaves, who has for many years been associated with Rickmers-Linie as its UK representative and with Rickmers' previous agency, OceanExpress.
Ennis will be based in Barking; Greaves will be based in Middlesbrough.
According to Gerhard Janssen, sales & marketing director at Rickmers-Linie, the UK is a significant player in the world of project forwarding, with many international projects being planned and managed by specialist teams based in the UK.
"By establishing this new agency in London and Middlesbrough, we will be better placed to service these customers," he said.
OceanExpress will continue to offer a parcel service out of the UK via Antwerp as a customer of Rickmers-Linie.
Escombe Lambert Holdings will provide full agency services, including the issuing of bills of lading for UK export cargo and customs clearance for import cargo.
