Metro has expanded its UK footprint with the opening of three new offices in Leeds, Liverpool and Belfast, as part of its continued national growth strategy.
Investing in strategically important locations reinforces Metro’s long-term commitment to building a stronger regional presence and delivering greater operational flexibility across the UK and Ireland.
Each new office has been established to enhance regional coverage, improve responsiveness and strengthen sector support, particularly across retail, consumer goods and manufacturing.
Operating as dedicated regional hubs, the Leeds, Liverpool and Belfast teams will deliver Metro’s full service portfolio, including air freight, ocean freight, road logistics, customs brokerage and specialist retail and e-commerce solutions.
This expansion enables customers to benefit from:
- Faster local decision-making
- Closer commercial and operational support
- Improved route flexibility and modal optimisation
- Stronger integration with Metro’s wider national and international network
By combining local expertise with global reach, Metro is positioning itself to provide more agile, tailored solutions in an increasingly complex trading environment.
Strategic regional leadership
The new offices are led by experienced industry professionals with deep regional knowledge and strong commercial track records.
In Leeds, Mark Godfrey brings extensive experience in sales, key account management and general management, with a clear focus on commercial growth and long-term partnerships.
In Liverpool, Tricia Maddox adds significant operational and trade management expertise, alongside broad international customer experience across sea freight and general management roles.
In Belfast, Chris Orr leads Metro’s entry into Northern Ireland — a uniquely strategic market. Northern Ireland’s dual access to both the UK internal market and the EU single market creates significant opportunity for manufacturers and distributors seeking flexibility and tariff advantages. Metro’s presence in Belfast provides customers with direct access to this distinctive trading position while strengthening the company’s foothold in the all-Ireland market.
A platform for sustained growth
The opening of these offices is not simply an increase in physical presence; it is a deliberate investment in capability and long-term customer value.
Over the next 12 months, Metro will focus on:
- Accelerating regional revenue growth
- Expanding commercial and operational teams in line with demand
- Strengthening customer acquisition and retention
- Enhancing service performance and reliability at a regional level
As supply chains continue to face regulatory complexity, geopolitical uncertainty and operational volatility, Metro’s expanding UK network provides customers with greater stability, closer support and access to a broader range of multimodal solutions.
This latest expansion signals Metro’s intent to continue growing its national presence — building a stronger, more connected network designed around customer resilience, responsiveness and long-term success.
Metro’s new regional leaders are already engaging with customers across their markets and are keen to explore how they can support your growth.
