"Eurocentral is one of Scotland’s key commercial developments with extensive transport links providing a high quality environment for businesses. It is an excellent base for a company such as DSV which has growth ambitions and requires a modern, premier business location."

Peter Reid, Regional Manager DSV Road, says: "In light of the continued success of DSV Road in Scotland and the acquisition of Roadferry last year, we have decided to expand the services DSV Road offers in Scotland.

"Moving to a purpose built facility in Lanarkshire will enable us to expand whilst continuing to offer a local service to existing customers. Remaining local means we have also retained the skill set and experience of our staff."

DSV Road is part of DSV, a global supplier of transport and logistics solutions. As a result, DSV Road's European road freight service is complemented by an extensive range of Air & Sea freight services.

"DSV Air & Sea will also have a facility at Eurocentral ensuring that our customer's multi-modal service requirements can be fully met," added Mr Reid.

Existing occupiers at Eurocentral include News International, Warburtons, TDG Logistics, Wincanton, NCR, DHL, Cisco and Morrisons.
