Specialist firm doubles size of distribution centre

A specialist distributor of gate hardware and access control equipment has moved to a new 11,000 sq ft distribution centre, tripling its operational capacity.

Rolling Center UK’s move and expansion will also see it create six new jobs over the next 12 months.

The Leeds business more than doubled the size of its distribution centre, by shifting to a new 11,000 sq ft facility in Farnley. The company said the site offers it a large trade counter and new training room.

And it has allowed the business to increase the amount of stock it holds, to mitigate the threat of any supply disruption due to Brexit.

Rolling Center UK is the exclusive sole importer and distributor for Rolling Center SpA, the Italian manufacturer of cantilever systems and gate hardware products.

The firm has introduced a new range of aluminium gates through a partnership with La Toulousaine, one of France’s leading manufacturers.

Rolling Center also sells composite wood, gate locks, gate safety and ancillary products.

Simon Smith, Managing Director of the company, said: “This is a key period in the evolution of the business in the UK. Our new premises have enabled us to continue to grow and invest in our team to provide industry-leading levels of service.

“We can also hold more stock as we expand our online consumer offer and provide an improved service to our trade customers.”

Hentons, supported the firm. Simon Gray, a partner at Hentons, said: “The Rolling Center business model is a great one and the team has ambitious plans for future growth. We are very much looking forward to working with them through to delivery.

“I do not doubt that following years of success as the largest supplier of gate equipment in the North, continued success will follow as a result of this recent expansion.”
