Port-centric expansion
Import Services is set to open an extension to its dockside facilities in Southampton this summer – a move which is set to create up to 25 new jobs and enable the company to move to a 24 hour operation.
The expansion comes at a time when Southampton has reinforced its position as the most efficient container port in Europe and the recent installation of cranes worth £26 million will enable the port to handle the next generation of ultra-large container ships.
Import Services’ operations director Roger Loveless said the success of the company’s port-centric operation had proved a major success and the new facilities will ensure the company is well placed to handle imports from existing and new clients.
