DFDS SEAWAYS / NORFOLK LINE DEAL CONCLUDED!


Following up on conclusion of the acquisition by DFDS Seaways of Norfolkline, DFDS Sales Manager Andrew Crowe has updated the UK travel sector on ploans for the future, confirming that 'we are now one company and in relation to shipping activities we will be operating under one brand DFDS Seaways.'


Referring to the 'practical issues and internal activities we will be involved with over the next few months merging the two companies into the new DFDS', Mr Crowe confirmed that 'in the short term, we (DFDS Seaways) will continue to service your account as we are now in the middle of our critical Q3 trading period. We do not want to disrupt the strong sales inflow we are currently experiencing across our passenger activities.'

He promised further formal contact in late September or October to detail how DFDS will manage and develop Norfolk Line accounts in the future. The new ‘Bigger and Better’ DFDS will, he asserted, create many exciting opportunities for all, and he looked forward to discussing 2011 plans with agency colleagues, and to working in partnership to leverage the potential from exploiting the new and comprehensive DFDS Seaways passenger-related route network,  which now stretches from Lithuania to Ireland.
