Europa boosts warehouse staff for Black Friday

Europa Worldwide Group’ has reported that its Warehouse division is employing more than 100 additional staff to cope with the Black Friday/Cyber Monday demand.

Europa Warehouse has three facilities at Birmingham, Dartford and Northampton which provide more than 42,000m2 of dedicated warehousing and logistics space for customers including market-leading trade sector brands, as well as blue chip companies.

Logistics Director at Europa Warehouse Maria Torrent-March said: “This year for Black Friday and Cyber Monday we have employed 115 additional temporary staff across our three warehouses and seen orders spike by 20% – which has kicked off our busiest time of year with a bang!”

Torrent-March added: “We supplement our core warehouse team with agency staff at particularly busy times of the year, such as Christmas, which we can pre-plan for – but we know we can also draw upon this trusted and reliable pool of extra staff at times of unseasonal demand, such as when a customer puts on a promotion to shift a certain batch of products, at potentially short notice.

“More and more, successful logistics operations are reliant on being able to accurately predict consumer demand, which is by no means as simple as it used to be. It is still possible to a point, but the sector needs to be considering alternative ways to maximise efficiency given that consumer demand for later and later order cut off points is on the rise.”
