How we built our multimillion pound investment...

A revolution in industrial fulfilment and service

On a business park in Oldbury, right in the heart of England, there’s a quiet revolution going on – a revolution that is changing the world of industrial fulfilment. Once at the centre of the industrial revolution that transformed the world, Oldbury is home to our major new industrial fulfilment hub, from where we revolutionise the way in which we support our customers throughout the UK and Ireland.

In today’s fast-moving industrial world we face more challenges than ever before: global market disruption, commoditisation, competition from new technologies, trade tariffs and skills shortages are all combining to create a perfect storm.?Survival and future growth depend on the speed, agility and effectiveness with which companies respond to these constantly shifting pressures.?In turn, this depends on the resilience and flexibility of their supply chains.

That’s why we’re developing a new fulfilment centre of expertise.?This will form our UK headquarters and hub for our interconnected network of service centres at strategic locations around the country.
