Europa Worldwide Group

What Europa Worldwide Group does

Europa Worldwide Group is a privately held UK-headquartered multimodal logistics provider offering integrated road, air, and sea freight forwarding alongside contract warehousing and customs brokerage. Founded in 2019 per the most recent sourced timeline, the group operates from Kent with its flagship 750,000 sq. ft. automated warehouse in Corby, opened in June 2020 at a £60 million development cost, employing 170 staff at the site and processing over five million orders annually. The company is recognized as the largest customs broker in Calais, controlling customs clearance for UK-EU trade routes, and has expanded internationally to Belgium, the Netherlands, China, Hong Kong, India, and the UAE.

The business monetizes through three primary streams: freight forwarding (road, air, sea) on a transaction-fee basis, contract logistics and managed warehousing services at the Corby shared-user facility, and customs brokerage including the recently launched DDP Flow services that allow Europa to control both transport and clearance for VAT-exempt UK exports under post-Brexit Regime 42 regulations. The Corby facility integrates a technology stack from PSB Intralogistics (shared-user automation described as unique to the UK market), Dexory (autonomous scanning bots), and Infios/HighJump (warehouse management system providing real-time inventory visibility).

Europa's go-to-market is enterprise and mid-market B2B field sales serving food, drink, apparel, and consumer goods verticals, supplemented by a UK-exporter-to-EU customs focus following Brexit. Current turnover is approximately £300 million, with management guiding to 10% growth within two years following an eight-figure HSBC UK debt facility secured in June 2026 to fund European road network and international expansion. The company is privately held with no public listing, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or leadership changes disclosed in the available sources.
