An international shipping and logistics company has revealed plans to open new offices in London, the US and China next year.

Brunswick International, which has been headquartered in Liverpool for more than 30 years, originally started in Brunswick Dock before moving to Kirkdale 20 years ago.

Last year, it opened a £2m headquarters in Hunts Cross.

Brunswick International said the expansion comes after it saw "significant growth" since Brexit with its customs department increasing in trade by 500%.

It added this has been "largely due to companies needing assistance" with the new documentation requirements to move goods throughout the world as a result of Britain leaving the customs union.

The first international office will open in Dallas, Texas, in the first half of 2022 and this will be followed by a premises in Shanghai towards the end of the year.
