As one of the largest independent providers of not for resale retail consumables and store packaging in Europe, we were one of the first to experience supply chain issues, as a result of the UK’s new trading relationship with the EU.

From January 2021, sending products from a UK warehouse into the EU (and vice versa) has often been delayed, hugely expensive and dominated by duty and VAT issues. With goods arriving at store, couriers have demanded immediate payment from frontline staff.

However, we have worked hard to resolve this issue for our clients and from April 2021, we have been fully operational with an additional entity in Bremen, Germany, ably supported by a warehouse facility in Mainaschaff, Germany.

Our clients now have the ability to split their not for resale consumable products between our UK and German based warehouses, allowing for next day delivery to many countries within Western Europe at a local delivery cost whilst avoiding those unwelcome duty and VAT issues. These developments within the UK and Germany have provided an additional 6,500 pallet spaces to our overall warehousing capacity.

We would welcome a discussion with any organisation looking for solutions to improve current service levels across the EU and those assessing ways to enable their budget to go further in these challenging times.

We can take this headache away thus allowing retailers to concentrate more on core products & sales.
