Transport operator DSV strengthens Channel Islands presence

DSV Road has set up its own operation in Guernsey to build its growing business in the Channel Islands.

Patrick Thompson, manager of DSV’s Channel Island operations, says: "We have seen our volumes grow year on year in Guernsey so wanted to take more control of our own business here. We have also brought in our own liveried vehicles to make deliveries on the island."

DSV Road, one of the top three transport operators in Europe, is now based in a refurbished 50,000 sq ft warehouse in Bulwer Ave in St Sampson, the second largest town on the island.

"We have developed a speciality in white goods home delivery, but we carry a huge range of goods that are imported into Guernsey," says Mr Thompson.

DSV Road already has a base in Jersey which was established three years ago.
