This move has been necessary due to Cranleigh Freight Services continued growth, unfortunately
it is impossible to expand the Europa House site in the way envisaged by the directors. This move
will allow Cranleigh Freight Services to consolidate its operations with its DHD Direct Home Delivery
service, already operating out of Dunsfold Park
Cranleigh Freight Services believes that customers will not notice any degradation in
service performance during the move
