Delivery firm on the move to new £12m warehouse and offices
A mail and pallet specialist is moving its North-West operation to a larger £12m service centre in Warrington.
The move comes as the Pallet Group gears itself up for a major increase in work.
The new Warrington site follows last month’s opening of an £8m site in Bristol, and a new site in Maidstone which began operations in March.
The business also successfully acquired ONEPOST earlier this year.
The Warrington site – situated on Warrington’s Mountpark business park – covers 137,865 sq ft and will have room for 200 staff.
The Delivery Group has also made a £1.5m investment in new machinery as it prepares to handle volumes of over one billion items per year across its eight sites.
Paul Carvell, chairman of The Delivery Group, said: “Since the management buyout last year, The Delivery Group has invested significantly in its people, facilities and fleet.
“The result is a market leading company that can offer even better service to its customers with the additional capacity to launch new services over the coming year.”
Steve Stokes, chief executive, added “We are very proud to showcase our latest best-in class service centre.
“We are bringing the very best distribution solutions to our clients through our regional footprint countrywide.
“Our commitment is to deliver innovative, high-speed, technology-led solutions to clients through our consultative approach – solutions that excel now and into the future.”
Located at J8 M62, the service centre is just three miles from the M6/M62 interchange and midway between Manchester and Liverpool, providing access to a population of 2.5 million within a 30 minute drive time.
Lighting at the site will be part powered through solar panels, further driving The Delivery Group’s push towards a greener operation following its recent investment in an electric vehicle delivery fleet.
