For Cliffe Industrial Packaging - one of the UK's largest independent producers and suppliers of high quality, heavy duty flexible packaging materials – choosing the right delivery partner was a business critical move.
With over £1M of finished goods stock in the warehouse at any one time, from flexible intermediate bulk containers through to films for automated packing processes, the company undertakes to deliver to its customers nationwide within 24 hours. Keeping this promise demands a close partnership with its distribution partner.
Palletised distribution specialists Palletline provide the ideal solution with their guaranteed overnight delivery services. Working through Member Company Browns Distribution, who manage the entire distribution requirement, over 60% of Cliffe Industrial Packaging's total output is delivered nationwide via the Palletline network."Fundamentally, achieving excellence in customer service is paramount for us as a business. Our philosophy is based around the concept that if it can be done, we'll find a way to do it," commented Phil Dawber for Cliffe Industrial Packaging. "Our customers rely on our ability to get product delivered quickly and reliably, and we rely on Browns Distribution and Palletline to ensure we meet the challenge." Cliffe Industrial Packaging have recently consolidated their activities and now carry out all production from a manufacturing facility located adjacent to the distribution division on the Browns site. With all production and distribution now handled from one site, Browns Distribution now offers a complete solution, from container destuffing and pick and pack through to nationwide delivery via Palletline. Investment across the Palletline network in the latest technological advances means that the network can provide total transparency of service for Cliffe Industrial Packaging, including track and trace, digital signature capture and online POD access. This level of visibility and accuracy is enabling the company to provide even better services for customers across the UK.
