From June 08 onwards 3P logistics will undertake the UK warehousing & distribution on behalf of Amorini.

"We have been in close liaison with Amorini since early October 07 & it is pleasing to see the initial enquiry through to fulfillment. The hard works starts here & with first container inbound due Early June; account integration planning is well under way. This is a great opportunity for us to further emphasize our ability to enhance customer service within the supply chain."

We believe that strong working relations are built upon "partnership & compatibility" hence our theme this year is very much focused around sourcing customers that are compatible with our ethos & service offering. At 3PL we also believe there to be scope for "fun" in business hence our "speed dating" theme will adopt a light hearted approach to sourcing our ideal partners. If outsourced logistics is a consideration of yours come & see us at stand 114 for a logistics speed date with a difference. See www.multimodal.org.uk for your complimentary ticket

Kirsty Fryers – Key Account coordinator comments:

"It is important that we stay one step ahead of operational demand. The recent additions of the LWB van & the B313 Bendi truck give us the added flexibility & the reliability factor normally associated with new equipment"

"The logistics game quite often throws up surprise challenges & this occasion was no different. The immediate task was to instigate 24 hour working at short notice. The team responded magnificently to the challenge & the operation passed without a hitch. It is extremely encouraging to know that the engine can run faster when required & a "can do" mentality exists within the team."

"As an organization where quality is an everyday theme this was a natural step for us to take. Given the nature of our business the process was intense at times yet rewarding. Too many businesses make the mistake of "getting the badge" rather than seeing this accreditation as a structured vehicle in which to manage "best practice". We see this accreditation as major differentiator in the market place."

Nigel Scott - Managing Director of Bulthaup Wilmslow comments: In the first instance it makes perfect sense to move to a provider closer to the point of end delivery. In addition, we see 3P logistics as a more bespoke logistics outfit who can meet all of our needs through one point of contact & we look forward to a fruitful working relationship.

Rocksolid Ground Solutions are leading agents for Nidagravel from Nidaplast & also supply Permaloc aluminum edging.

Chris Linforth of Rocksolid adds:
"The fragile nature of our goods & the need to serve a field based installation team demands a logistics provider who can consistently deliver on time & in full. 3P logistics have succeeded where our previous provider has failed. We are now able to focus upon our own area of expertise on the back of a reliable service"

3PL managing Director Ian Walker said: We have already established a strong working relationship with CBS over the last twelve months delivering service excellence during a significant period of supply chain transition for our client. We are delighted to form this partnership as both our organisations carry a mutual culture and share similar values.

This partnership represents a significant commitment by CBS and is reward and testimony to the high levels of endeavour and commitment shown by all the 3PL staff during the course of the last year. We look forward with eager anticipation and high expectations for the years ahead.

CBS Commercial Director Martin Colebrook said: "Our continued increase in sales throughput coupled with our sustained period of supply chain transition has demanded a reliable and dynamic logistics provider. 3P Logistics have risen to the challenges and have provided an enhancement in service provision. The last twelve months has seen us make significant strides in removing inefficiencies whilst increasing availability of which 3PL has been a significant factor. The partnership further solidifies our strong relations and is exciting news for both parties. We are confident that 3PL will strive to exceed our logistics needs and will further complement our future business expectations"

This increased capacity provides further scope for increasing our client base and the level of diversity on offer whilst further emphasising our encouraging growth. I fully expect the growth trend to continue hence we will remain active in the property market.

Initially M & B healthcare will occupy a proportion of the head office space with the likelihood of warehousing and distribution in the near future.

Martin Molyneux – Director of M & B adds: The facilities and the work environment on offer made this an easy decision. Given the nature of the pharmaceutical business, product integrity is paramount hence the need for a reliable procedurally driven service provider.

Ian Walker – Managing Director 3PL adds:

The newly refurbished office space now provides our business with the right image and the use practical facilities Including boardroom, conferencing, locker rooms, Staff canteen etc. In addition to our own requirements our clients often request on-site facilities as part of the arrangement hence the expansion was pretty fundamental to our business for a number of reasons.

Following a somewhat gruelling and rigorous application process we extremely pleased to obtain our Customs Warehousing license. As a result, we are able to offer our clients increased diversity and in turn the site itself becomes more marketable. I would like to express my thanks to all the team who helped contribute towards a successful application.

3P logistics acknowledge contributions from all levels hence my suggestions on operational improvement were taken on board and resulted in this award. The lighthearted throw at the “bully board” coupled with a worthwhile prize adds to the occasion.

Kirsty Fryers – Key Account Co-ordinator adds:

It is very easy for employers to take for granted employee contribution however hence it is extremely pleasing and uplifting when we are acknowledged for our efforts albeit i a rubbish at darts !

As an ex-stalwart / yard dog of the club it is great to support the club directly whilst giving something back to the community – good luck for the season ahead and the manager as my dreaded vote of confidence!

Colin Clarke – Club Manager adds:

The donation of the kit is a great gesture by 3P logistics as running an amateur club can prove very costly hence sponsorship in any form is most welcome and the lads are eager to do the shirt proud.
