Cormar Service & Brexit
It's a year now since we moved into our new Southern Regional Distribution Centre in Hemel Hempstead. This investment in 130,000 sq ft of warehouse space, incorporating two new cut length machines, a sortation system and new loading bays, has undoubtedly helped Cormar improve our delivery service to retailers in the South, and by liberating space at Brookhouse Mill has also improved service in the north of the UK as well.
In fact, in the run-up to Christmas and the early part of 2019, our delivery performance to our customers has consistently exceeded 96%, which we are sure will have helped you run your business and plan your fitting schedules.
This brings us to the outlook for the next few months, whatever your views are on Brexit, one thing is absolutely certain - the Earth will continue to spin on its axis after 29th March! Which is why, here at Cormar, we've been working hard internally and with our overseas yarn and raw material suppliers to build stock, in case of any disruption at the UK ports. We already hold significant yarn stocks at our sites around the UK, which means that we have simply been able to extend that facility.
Clearly, the nature of uncertainty cannot prepare us for all eventualities, but for Cormar, having carpet manufacturing, storage and distribution here in the UK will undoubtedly be an advantage in the case of a disruptive Brexit.
So, going forward, please be assured that we are doing everything we can to ensure we continue to support you and your customers, with the award-winning service that you are accustomed to from Cormar Carpet Company.
