PRESS RELEASE: NORTHAMPTON, UK – 22 September 2020 – XPO Logistics, a leading global provider of transport and logistics solutions, has been awarded a contract by the UK government to provide support to the Home Office’s Border Force operations. XPO will transport and store goods and vehicles under a five-year agreement, with live operations expected to commence in March 2021.
XPO will operate from existing government facilities, providing services that cover the entirety of the UK and Northern Ireland, as well as the UK border in France at Coquelles.
