FedEx Trade Networks expands to Glasgow

   FedEx Trade Networks, the freight forwarding arm of FedEx Corp., has started operations in Glasgow, Scotland, as part of its ongoing expansion initiative.
   This is the third FedEx Trade Networks office to open in the United Kingdom and will offer customers increased access to major global markets and the company’s range of forwarding services. The other two U.K. offices are located in Manchester and London.
