Speedy national distribution centre

UK rental company Speedy has opened a national distribution centre in Tamworth which the company claims will revolutionise the way it operates.

Located at Emperor Point, Tamworth, the 50,000 square metre facility will provide a large-scale distribution storage for Speedy’s range of 4,000 product lines as well as house the company’s new national induction and training centre, which offers more than 100 training courses. A total of 126 people are based at the site including service engineers along with workshop, transport, facilities and administration staff.

Mark Rogerson, Speedy’s chief executive officer, said: “Our new distribution centre at Tamworth is at the heart of the programme to optimise our network, which has been designed to improve our product availability and ultimately deliver service excellence to our customers. Our aim is to deliver products to our customers faster, safer and more efficiently, and the centre forms a key part of this strategy. Crucially, the site has been designed around lean workflow processes to minimise waste and ensure our daily operations are streamlined and sustainable.”
