Distribution company invests in bigger logistics premises

A Birmingham-based distribution, services and marketing company has invested in larger logistics premises to support its growth in the UK and overseas.

With support from Lloyds Bank, LUMESCA Group has increased its warehouse and store premises.

LUMESCA Group specialises in distribution, logistics and marketing services for the digital imaging and graphics market in the UK, Europe, Middle East and Asia.

To support ongoing growth, it has used financing from Lloyds Bank to purchase Units 2 and 3 at WD.Boxhub, a new build by Warm Flame Developments in Cakemore Road, Rowley Regis.
With 12,500 sq ft of space, the investment has also created five additional jobs.

During the past 18 months, the group has acquired two UK photographic businesses to increase its product and service offering.

Geoffrey Clements, managing director at LUMESCA Group, said: “We’ve enjoyed significant growth over the past few years, which meant it became necessary for us to find somewhere bigger to meet demand. Our new site will ensure we can continue to cater for all our customers’ needs while providing scope for further future growth.”

Paul Warrington, relationship director at Lloyds Bank, said: “LUMESCA Group is a fantastic example of a local business that has been able to expand footprint beyond the Midlands and take advantage of several opportunities overseas. Theirs is a fantastic story, and I’m sure it will only accelerate their growth.”
