The COVID-19 pandemic has forced stricter controls and measures on how we work and
live, including the freight industry.

Keeping freight moving is essential for the economy. Consequently, Eurogate Logistics
continue to work tirelessly in order to do our part to maintain this vital service.

Most of our staff are now working from home in accordance with healthcare guidelines with a
skeleton staff ensuring the office phones are still manned. The easiest way to contact us is
via email, enabling us to serve you in this difficult time.

We maintain constant contact with our freight partners to keep up to date with availability
and delivery status and can therefore keep you updated with any issues that arise. Transit
times could also be affected due to increased border checks, so we ask for your
understanding and patience.

If you are unsure of who best to contact with your enquiry, please email your local office:
