The Duke of Edinburgh made a high-profile stop on a Wednesday in Witham, Essex, to officially launch PFE Express Ltd’s sprawling new headquarters.
A 135,000-square-foot hub set to supercharge the family-owned logistics firm’s operations.
The youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip took a tour of the bustling facility, meeting staff, apprentices, and key partners along the way.
