In late 2020, the Maurice Ward Group’s Express Road Team embarked on a journey to redefine logistics solutions within the European road transportation sector. Led by an experienced professional, Peter van der Werff, the team introduced Europe to Maurice Ward Express Road Services, expanding the company’s reach and generating increased inquiries related to road transportation of goods throughout Europe.
What initially began with just a few shipments per month has seen remarkable growth, now with thousands of monthly shipment requests. The MW Express Road Team has also diversified its services to encompass truck shipments, now facilitating the transportation of a wide range of cargo, from basic USB drives to intricate aircraft engines. This extensive array of road transport options enables them to cater to a diverse set of shipping requirements.
This service is particularly well-suited for AOG situations and other dedicated cargo transfers across Europe. Thanks to our extensive fleet of vans and trucks strategically stationed at hubs across Europe, the Express Road team is well-equipped to swiftly pick up and deliver cargo from any location, offering flexibility in terms of both the point of origin and the destination, ensuring timely transport around the clock.
A dedicated team efficiently oversees both pricing and operations, serving as the primary point of contact for MW Offices, clients, and vendors. Their unwavering commitment to excellence guarantees a rapid 15-minute response time, enhancing the email inquiry experience. The pricing structure is designed for simplicity, following a per-vehicle, single-trip model. This approach ensures transparency and simplifies engagement for all parties involved.
Moreover, the team boasts a profound comprehension of customs regulations, ensuring clients receive comprehensive services that adeptly navigate the complexities of international transportation. As a 24/7 desk, they collaborate with MW offices, ensuring the swift resolution of inquiries that arise outside standard office hours.
Their dedication is boundless, and their unwavering commitment to service excellence knows no boundaries!

The first ever ‘cargo only’ flight was recorded in November 1910 in the USA, using a Wright Model B aeroplane that flew 65 miles carrying a package of silk. The business owner used the pioneering transport more as a PR stunt to celebrate the opening of his store, with the bundle of silk cut into individual pieces and glued onto souvenir postcards.
Maurice Ward Ireland continues to strengthen its commitment to quality, compliance, and operational excellence through the successful renewal and achievement of important industry certifications.
