Expansion for Reed Boardall
FROZEN food storage and distribution business Reed Boardall has expanded its operation.
The company has extended the cold store capacity at its 55-acre site in North Yorkshire to 142,000 pallets.
A newly completed store building also adds 14 new loading docks, bringing the total to 54.
Reed Boardall said the new store is part of its continued drive to keep pace with demand.
Group chief executive Keith Boardall said: “Even in the current economic climate, where all investment has to be minutely considered, we are committed to a long-term future – and that means maintaining our performance levels. Our reputation is built on that performance.
“While we work with most of the household-name food producers, a significant proportion of our customers are smaller businesses which enjoy the cost efficiencies of the storage and transport consolidation we offer. Our high-tech stores and fleet enable us to deliver stock next day in exactly the volumes needed by the retailers served by our customers.”
Reed Boardall operates from a site on the A1 at Boroughbridge, taking in frozen and chilled food from manufacturers and delivering on to supermarkets, wholesalers and food service suppliers.
