Mayflex, the networked products distributor, is adding to its Midlands Distribution Centre with a warehouse, assembly and office facility half a mile from the Mayflex head office in Birmingham.
The new facility is due to open in April. It will provide 64,500sq ft of warehousing, including 4000sq ft extra office, training and demonstration space. The distribution company is also having a new Warehouse Management System (WMS) to manage the stock held across locations.
Andy Cooper, Chief Operations Officer said: ‘This multi-million-pound investment within our warehouse will ensure that we have the capability to scale to 2030 and beyond based on our growth projections for the business. We will eventually move the Environ build and training facility from the existing Environ House to this larger facility, which will also provide far greater storage capacity and further office space to house our ever-growing workforce.’
Andrew Percival, Managing Director said: ‘Mayflex continues to grow year, upon year, particularly with the Excel brand that is sold across the World and with an expanding portfolio, with a new range of products being launched in January 2019 and new markets opening up in Australia and the USA to name but a few. We are also a major player in the distribution of IP security solutions and this growing market requires us to hold large stocks of products for next day free delivery.
‘This investment in WMS and the expansion of the warehouse facilities demonstrates our continued commitment to growth and improvement of our services to meet our customer demands. We are passionate about delivering the best solution possible for our customers and in doing so creating a business model that allows us to grow in line with the market demands – it’s exciting times ahead!’
