European road freight specialist Europa Road is playing a vital role in global healthcare by delivering time-critical medical testing kits, which are then distributed to clinics across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the UK.

As part of one of Britain’s largest independent logistics providers, Europa Worldwide Group, Europa Road’s Manchester branch team is supporting a leading medical technology company that specialises in women’s health, to transport medical testing equipment, including HIV, HPV, Hepatitis B & C, as well as urine and swab sample collection kits.

According to data from the Department of Business and Trade, pharmaceuticals were among the UK’s top goods exports, with medicinal and pharmaceutical products ranking third at around £25 billion in goods export value for the 12 months through May 2025.

Ben Sindel, Manchester Branch Manager, commented: “We have been shipping the medical testing kits for nearly a year, using our Delivered at Place (DAP) service. This customer clears customs on-site at its warehouse facilities in the UK and Belgium, which ensures an efficient drop-off and a reliable service. Due to the timely nature of these consignments, we often need to fulfil next-day deliveries which means we use our network of local hauliers, plus our own trucks.

“Every week, we ship between 600-2000 individual testing kits, which are transported to warehouses in Northampton and Belgium, where they are then distributed to clinics across the UK and Europe, and as far as Africa and Asia.”

He added: “It is our role to ensure that dedicated warehouses are stocked with the correct volume of these essential kits by providing a ‘next day’ service. We use ambient and temperature-controlled vehicles, which guarantee the kits remain in perfect condition for the end user. Our expertise in managing time-sensitive transport means the kits can be used to receive a diagnosis and treatment promptly.”

A representative from the customer commented: “The service has been fantastic so far, we are grateful for Europa’s speedy communication and support.”

Offering hassle-free European Road freight services for every consignment size, in today’s post-Brexit landscape, Europa ensures efficient, cost-effective and seamless movement of goods between Europe and the UK.  Following Brexit, Europa Road has marked several innovative milestones, from its £5 million investment in Europa Flow in 2021, which now accounts for 50 per cent of all groupage transport leaving the UK, to DAP Flow which enables full loads destined for Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany to be cleared in Calais, avoiding the need for T-forms and costly diversions.

Europa has worked to provide its customers with the best transport solutions offering the answer to post-Brexit delays, costs, and paperwork.

Adrian Redmile, Branch and Sales Director at Europa Worldwide Group, commented: “From the very beginning, it’s been our aspiration to build Europa into a company that is internationally recognised for our innovative market solutions.

“We acknowledge the importance of driving operations forward and contributing to the economy. Each of our expert local teams plays a pivotal role in our wider operation, ensuring each customer receives an exceptional service.”
