EV Cargo launches new division to drive growth across the group

Logistics and technology business EV Cargo has launched a new division which will integrate a range of services across the group as part of a wider strategy to drive growth.

Dubbed EV Cargo Solutions, the new division has Jigsaw, the group’s 4PL, sitting at its heart.

The division will also offer on-demand warehousing and consolidation, logistics and supply chain consultancy and integrated end-to-end supply chain solutions for key accounts.

EV Cargo Solutions will be led by Jigsaw MD Andy Humpherson and will harness the group’s nine million-plus square feet of warehousing space, 175 UK operating centres, 18 overseas operations and Palletforce’s 98 haulier members and 116 depots, to help deliver its services.

EV Cargo Solutions’ on-demand warehousing will offer customers short-term storage and handling solutions from the group’s network of ambient, chilled and bonded facilities across the UK and Europe.
