Clipper delivers cult US brand to the UK

RETAIL transport specialist Clipper Logistics Group has secured a partnership with cult US brand Anthropologie.

The deal sees the Leeds-based firm provide logistics solutions for sister brand Urban UK, which opened the first European branch of Anthropologie on Regent Street earlier this month.

Anthropologie has a product range of unusual and quirky designs and has grown from one store in Philadelphia to 130 stores across North America.

Anthropologie specialises in vintage style clothes, accessories, jewellery, notebooks, decorations and homeware.

Gordon Watts, of Clipper, said: “The addition of the Anthropologie brand to our Urban UK operations will enable us to offer the client a wide ranging service, including warehousing, stock processing and e-fulfilment.”

Urban chief operating officer for Europe Andrew Mclean said: “Clipper’s proven agility and expertise in working with Urban UK meant that the team was an obvious choice to provide a logistics solution for Anthropologie.

“We are extremely grateful for the support and effort that Clipper has provided to us in launching the new Regent Street store and we are looking forward to working alongside them in the future.”
