Whistl: We understand that fulfilment and delivery is part of the brand experience
UK delivery management company, Whistl, has announced that it has taken leases on 450k sqft of warehouse space to meet the growing demand for Whistl Fulfilment and Contact Centres.
It has taken 300k sqft at Belkin House, Express Business Park, expanding its existing Rushden fulfilment capability and is opening its fifth Fulfilment centre, located in Unit 3 Northampton GPark.
The site at Moulton Park Industrial Estate, Northampton was chosen because of its ‘Golden Triangle’ location, the biggest concentration of major logistics and distribution operations in Europe.
It has good access to the M1, M40, M6 and M40 putting 90% of the population of England and Wales within reach in four hours, enabling Whistl to potentially offer online retailers a later cut off time for their customer’s orders for next day delivery.
The 155k sqft purpose-built depot will be fitted out to enable pick and pack of customer orders. The site has parking for 27 HGVs and has 15 dock doors and 3 level access points.
Nick Wells, CEO Whistl, said: “Through Whistl Fulfilment we are bringing our people, our operational excellence and reputation for first class customer management to medium sized retailers who require an agile and scalable partner who can manage every aspect of the fulfilment process from placing an order to delivery to the consumer. We have a range of proven flexible and customisable services available depending on the requirements of the retailer.
“We understand that fulfilment and delivery is part of the brand experience for consumers and everyone within the company is passionate about doing the best we can to ensure that we deliver on the retailers brand promise.”
