East Yorkshire logistics firm Neill & Brown Global Logistics has introduced a new rail freight operation connecting the UK and Italy. The service is part of a joint venture with Italian partner Sogedim.
The companies have invested in Huckepack trailers designed for combined road and rail transport. Six reinforced trailers have been added to Neill & Brown’s fleet to move goods bound for Italy. Shipments leave the company’s Hessle base by road, travel by ferry from Hull, and are transferred onto trains at Zeebrugge.
The rail service complements Neill & Brown’s existing European road and sea operations, offering daily timed deliveries and a lower-carbon transport alternative.
Supporting the service, the company maintains warehousing facilities at two Hull and Humber locations and provides in-house customs documentation and clearance. Neill & Brown also operates global sea and air freight services, UK pallet deliveries, and abnormal load transport.
Founded over 100 years ago, Neill & Brown positions the new rail offering as a sustainable addition to its European logistics network.
