The company, which provides services to a range of warehousing, logistics and airport customers, selected Derby in order to take advantage of its close proximity to the road, rail and air networks.

Gavin Clark, EPG’s newly-appointed country manager, said: “We recognised that Derby, and particularly Pride Park, is the ideal location for the UK base.

“Its central location in the country, excellent transport links and major developments on the doorstep, such as the East Midlands Gateway, will greatly facilitate our growth plans in the UK – both in terms of the customer portfolio and employee numbers.”

Kavita Oberoi OBE, founder and managing director of Oberoi Business Hub, said: “We are delighted to welcome EPG to Oberoi Business Hub and look forward to working with them to achieve their growth plans through our serviced office accommodation and call handling support.”
