UK-based Premier has started 2021 with the opening of a new regional distribution centre in the North West.
Following on from the opening of two other regional centres in Dartford and Bristol in 2019 and 2020 respectively, this new 30,000 sq ft facility more than doubles Premier’s warehouse capacity in the region and is located at Haydock, near St Helens, less than a mile from Junction 23 of the M6.
The proximity of the new branch to the motorway network will enable Premier to offer a fast and efficient service to customers in Liverpool, Manchester and all areas across the North West. It will also play a key role in Premier’s national distribution network, supporting other Premier branches throughout the north of England and Scotland. This is a significant move which will see Premier further improve its service to the Northwest with comprehensive stocks of paper, display media and packaging products held locally for same day or next day delivery.
Mike Banks, Northern Operations Director commented, “Our Liverpool and Manchester sales teams will continue to operate independently, based at the new regional facility, which is just 20 minutes drive from both Liverpool and Manchester city centres. With a vehicle fleet made up of 10 trucks and an articulated lorry, the location will enable us to improve our logistics service across the North West.”
