£10m investment in new site to support growth plans

DCS GROUP has invested £10m in a 25-acre site to support its growth plans.

The group, based in Stratford-upon-Avon, distributes health, beauty and household brands for Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Colgate and others.

It is to double its storage capacity after buying the site in Banbury, next to the M40, and expects to shortly break through £200m turnover.

DCS Group chief executive Denys Shortt said: “Our site in Stratford-upon-Avon is part of the Canal Quarter Regeneration Zone and has been zoned for housing.

“The new site will allow us to grow the business further following significant investment and we will continue to develop all areas of the business to create jobs and growth.”

Jim Quantrill, retail and wholesale relationship director for Barclays Corporate Banking, which supported DCS’s investment, said: “DCS has a highly respected management team and clear strategic growth plans.

“They are extremely focused on delivering high quality customer service and innovation, this has ensured that sales have continued to grow.”
