Relaxed around Easter: Freight forwarder MZ Logistic and seasonal challenges
Erkrath, Germany/Madrid, Spain, 2019-04-17 - The Easter holidays bring with them reports on seasonal challenges in the logistics industry.

In Spain, for example, the Thursday before Easter is a public holiday, whereas in Germany and the UK it is a regular work day. However, on the Monday after Easter both in Germany and in the UK businesses are closed. A freight forwarding company from Spain gave an update on how the different Easter public holidays affect their business.
