CoolKit recovery continues with record monthly output figure
Lancashire-based temperature-controlled van specialist, CoolKit, has achieved a record high output, a year on after moving into new premises following a fire at its previous base in Burnley.
It said it is a significant milestone in the company’s growth journey after a period of investment in people, plant and premises aimed at meeting customer demand and driving further business growth.
The firm, which is beginning its 20th year in business, recorded a record month for productivity, with 164 converted vans and insulated box bodies leaving the premises in July 2024.
The board has been strengthened with the appointments of Daniel Miller and Joe Gleave in Managing Director and Operations Director positions, respectively. Rupert Gatty becomes Chief Executive.
Beyond that, the team has been reinforced by numerous other new roles and appointments to facilitate continuous improvement in quality and output.
CoolKit is now able to commence smaller orders for panel van conversions from October, and larger orders from January. In addition to that, there is presently capacity for the start of orders for CoolKit’s box bodies from January 2025.
The company holds OEM (original equipment manufacturer) accreditations from every major manufacturer including Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Renault UK, Renault Trucks, Toyota, and the Stellantis family, including Peugeot, Citroen, Vauxhall and Fiat.
Daniel Miller said: “Our service is a significant factor in why customers choose CoolKit and increasing our operational capacity has been the main objective of our growth plan in order to cater to their demands.
“As our output continues to grow, we are encouraging our valued customers to explore new opportunities for collaboration.”
