The UK arm of the global shipping and logistics group A.P. Moller - Maersk, with offices in Liverpool, London and Maidenhead and warehouses in England.
Maersk is a global shipping and logistics group, and its UK business moves goods by sea, road, rail and air and stores them in warehouses. A profile of the group describes it as an integrated transport and logistics company, one that wants to look after a customer's goods from the factory to the end customer. In the UK and Ireland that includes warehousing, where Maersk announced three new sites in 2022, among them a newly built warehouse at Doncaster with more than 600,000 square feet of space, and other UK sites at Tamworth and Kettering.
The group's stated commitment is "All the way", described as going all the way, together, for customers and society, to connect the world so people can trade, grow and thrive. It also talks about decarbonising sea, air and land logistics by 2040. The 2022 announcement said the Doncaster warehouse is designed for low carbon emissions and was built to a net-zero-carbon construction scheme. These are the company's own statements. We did not find a UK-specific mission, so the group's words are used here.
In the UK, the profile lists offices in Liverpool, London and Maidenhead. Companies House shows The Maersk Company Limited, incorporated in 1951, with its registered office in Liverpool, and a separate company, Maersk Logistics & Services UK Ltd. A 2009 trade article reported that the regional headquarters for Maersk Line in the UK and Ireland would move from London to Liverpool, with about 500 people at the time, which is old evidence. The Doncaster warehouse is close to road, rail and air links, including the Doncaster International Railport.
On people, the 2022 warehouse announcement quoted Gary Jeffreys, Area Managing Director UK and Ireland, who said demand for integrated and more resilient supply chains had grown significantly. The profile says the group employs around 110,000 people across 130 countries, though another figure on the same page differs, so we treat numbers with caution. We did not find a culture statement for the UK business, and we have not invented one.
The kinds of work found in a business like this include customer service and customer experience staff, sales and business development teams, transport planners who schedule lorries and trains, warehouse and operations teams, customs and documentation specialists, finance and people-support staff, and digital and cyber-security specialists. Job listings seen in search results for Maersk in the UK mention functions such as customer experience, transport planning, business development support and cyber security. For students interested in how global trade, technology and sustainability fit together, this is a large and varied employer.
