However, over the past decade, it has established itself as a leading freight forwarders company, moving cargo to and from all over the world. It offers logistics services, with its main focus being groupage services to and from Malta.

Aside from Mr Abela’s appointment, the company also shared that Matthew Napier, previously Operations Manager, will now serve as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), while Joseph Tedesco has been appointed Chief Operations Officer (COO) and Nicky Vella will be Warehouse Manager.

Mr Napier has an “in-depth understanding” of EuroBridge’s operations, uniquely positioning him to drive commercial strategies that align with the company’s goals.

Mr Tedesco will be tasked with bringing a seasoned perspective to streamline and enhance its operational efficiency. “His dedication to excellence ensures that EuroBridge’s commitment to reliable and efficient freight forwarding services remains unwavering,” the company added.

On the other hand, Mr Vella will continue to have a pivotal role in optimising EuroBridge’s storage and distribution capabilities, “ensuring seamless operations and customer satisfaction”.

The company proceeded to thank Mr Cassar for his contribution over his years of “dedicated service”, bidding him a fond farewell and wishing him well in his future endeavours.
