Storage and distribution, joined up
Our warehousing sits alongside our distribution network, so stock moves from storage onto the right vehicle and its Nominated Delivery Day without changing hands between providers.
One platform for the whole operation
Our financial, administration, operational and warehouse management functions are integrated on one platform, giving you a single view of your stock and its journey.
Food safety you can audit
Our transhipment centre at Rocky's Drift, White River, was certified to the BRCGS Global Standard for Storage and Distribution with an AA grade in 2024. The scope covered ambient storage and distribution of grain products, canned food, beverages, toys and home and personal care products, plus storage of chocolate at ambient temperature and its distribution at chilled temperature.
3PL with dedicated teams
Warehousing can form part of a third-party logistics (3PL) contract with dedicated staff and management, planned in the same Transport Management System that runs your deliveries. For our thinking on running a warehouse well, read our guide to warehouse management.
