UK HGV and coach operators have raised concerns that the 90 days out of 180 Schengen travel limit may not be sufficient for maintaining regular business operations within the EU. This limitation could affect companies employing non-EU drivers and staff, potentially leading to travel restrictions, fines, or other penalties if the limit is exceeded

Whittle Response to the situation in Ukraine
2022-03-18 11:13Whilst it is distressing to witness the scenes of destruction and the desperate plight of thousands innocent Ukrainian families it is nevertheless heart-warming to see the strength of the humanitarian response.
Thanks to the kindness of people and businesses in the UK, with donations of food, clothing, sleeping bags, first aid kits, torches, medicines, toiletries and pharmaceuticals, desperately needed supplies are being delivered to key crisis points on the Ukrainian border. This can only be done with an effective logistics solution: to get the goods where they’re needed most.
WHITTLE EASTERN EUROPE have been actively engaged in this project in recent weeks and so far have organised over 60 trucks of humanitarian aid from the UK to the Polish/Ukrainian border. We have staff in the office from Poland and Ukraine providing trailers & drivers, organising international transport from consolidation points, booking ferries and providing customs documentation and liaison where required, to ensure the cargo can transit intermediate borders with minimum hindrance and delay.
We are also responsible for liaison with the receivers of the cargo. We speak to them in their own language to ensure the aid is delivered and distributed as efficiently as possible to where it’s needed most.
So a big thank you to all who have made a donation, however small.
We are here to help, contact David@weell.co.uk or tel 01254 825 599 for friendly expert advice

Interesting facts from Whittle’s 25 years in logistics
2021-06-02 12:001) At present in 2021 Whittles specialise in 31 Eastern European countries . How many countries would Whittles have served in 1990 with the same geographic coverage?
Currently Whittles specialise in 31 Eastern European countries from Poland in the West to Kazakhstan in the East. However in 1990 or earlier, within the same geographic boundaries there were only 8! A full 23 countries less! First, the Soviet Union broke up into 15 independent states on 26.12.1991, then Czechoslovakia split into the Czech and Slovakian republics on 01.01.1993, and finally Yugoslavia gradually split into 7 independent countries between 1991 and 2008. The last newly emerged independent Eastern European country was Kosovo in 2008.
Eastern Europe is not an easy region. Geopolitical problems, tensions and disputes have always been part of our work in Eastern Europe. Whittles maintained its services into the problem regions even during military conflicts, escalations and political tensions : in Yugoslavia in 90ss, in Central Asia in 2001, in Georgia in 2008, in Ukraine from 2014 onwards and most recently Azerbaijan and Armenia in Autumn 2020.
Sadly, some regions in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine are still currently off limits and inaccessible or very difficult to enter due to the political situation.
2) What is the furthest point in the East that you can go to by truck from the UK?
Whittles routinely send trucks to Novosibirsk in Siberia or Almaty in Kazakhstan, which is close to the Chinese border, but Whittles’ record for the continuous journey of a truck (direct, with no transhipment) was organised in 2018 from Scotland to Kholmsk on Sakhalin Island, off the Far Eastern coast of the Russian mainland, due North of Japan. The journey took 17 days and the delivery point was closer to Japan than any other place on the continent.
3) What is the furthest point South that you can go to by truck from the UK
Whittles have pushed the boundaries in that direction too: Morocco would be the southernmost destination that we organised as a continuous non-transhipment journey taking a ferry from Southern Spain. Whittles did this route on numerous occasions since 2019. In the Middle East Sulaymaniyah and Erbil in Northern Iraq would be the current record holder destination for a non-transhipment trailer journey via Bulgaria and Turkey. This route has been on Whittles list since 2005 despite the dangers in this region.

WHITTLE EASTERN EUROPE: 25 YEARS YOUNG!!
2021-06-03 12:00
Yes it all started 25 years ago when WHITTLE EASTERN EUROPE came into the world…
…and from humble beginnings: 5 people in small premises in rural Grindleton – telephones, fax machines, floppy discs, good old Atlas and road maps, a few Eastern European languages and a strong determination to succeed.
With a lot of hard work and commitment to the highest quality of service, the company has grown to become a major player in the EASTERN EUROPEAN logistics market.
We now employ over 40 staff across 5 departments and 5 suites in the relative luxury of the Printworks in Barrow, with a turnover around £20 million and now speaking 24 languages!
But most importantly we’ve become a trusted and valued service supplier to countless household names, and a logistics specialist well-respected by fellow professionals.
It’s been a hell of a journey over the last 25 years – thank you for being part of it!
Here’s to the next 25!!
