Midwich has moved its stock to a new warehouse in Minworth near Birmingham. The movement of stock began in October and was completed at the beginning of December. With a huge amount of stock to transfer from two other warehouses in the West Midlands, the distributor said the potential for error was considerable – particularly as Midwich’s ordering system runs constantly. Through careful planning and intense organisation. Midwich says order processing and delivery were not compromised by the move.
Stephen Fenby, managing director of Midwich commented: ‘Whilst running two warehouses was never a cause for concern in terms of customer service, centralisation will result in a reduction in the potential for logistical error as well as a cost saving which we can pass on to our customers. Our continued strong relationship with global logistics specialist Kuehne & Nagel who will be running the warehouse, will ensure that our customers can depend on the same great service they’ve come to expect.’
