General manager at Rhenus Heathrow, Spencer Davern, said: “We’re really pleased with the development of our service to Japan. Our continued relations in the country are testament to the efficient service we deliver here at Rhenus and we are looking forward to further expanding our network in Japan and across Asia.”
