On a Mission: Promoting the Netherlands in the UK

From June 3 to June 7, Karin Rancuret, representing NDL, visited the United Kingdom to engage with exporting companies about establishing their European logistics operations in or through the Netherlands. During her visit, she also met with several network organisations to discuss NDL’s services and explore potential collaborations.

Despite the post-Brexit challenges, there is significant interest in finding efficient solutions to serve the EU market. Many companies, for whom the EU was previously one of the largest markets, experienced a significant drop in their competitive edge after Brexit. The increased customs formalities, administrative burdens, and associated costs led many of these businesses to temporarily scale back their EU operations. However, now that “the Brexit dust has settled,” there is a renewed interest in tapping into growth opportunities within the EU. As a result, many companies are considering holding inventory within the EU to enhance their market presence.

In these situations, NDL can assist by connecting these businesses with our members, including logistics service providers, those offering fiscal and customs representation or other parties.
