Introduction to Euroclad Logistics department
We have been operating a logistics department for about 4 years now and over that time a huge amount of change has occurred. The business has grown over this time and we are now organising over 100 deliveries per day to all areas of the UK which is quite a challenge.
We are currently achieving an on time in full success rate of just over 96% to our customers which we are quite proud of. However, if we do get any issues we aim to resolve them as quickly as possible and try to give customers as much notice of possible of any problems.
We continue to provide the same personal service of confirming deliveries with our customer base 48 hours prior to the delivery date. This is vital to both parties and provides an opportunity for a good working relationship.
We have a team of four people working within the logistics office, a team of 6 loading personnel and a driving team of 6 which deliver goods to our customers on our small fleet of 5 vehicles. This gives us another interface with our customer base at site level, which is a huge positive for our overall working relationship.
The whole team is headed up by the Logistics manager Kevin Waite. The team in the office is Sian Davies, Les Edwards and our newest recruit Leanne Jones. All of these people have extensive experience in the Logistics arena working in demanding markets and are all valuable assets for the company.
We try and provide a reliable, friendly and cost effective service for our customers. The majority of our deliveries are planned as multi-drop arrangements. This enables us to keep the costs of our deliveries to a minimum in a very demanding market. Pressure on drivers hours from government legislation is growing all the time and fuel costs are currently at there highest level in recent memory.
However, we do have an extensive range of haulage options available to us and for extra cost we can provide dedicated vehicles, rigid, self offload and extendable trailers.
As a team we are always looking at trying to improve our service and challenge some of the barriers we face each day. We have trialled options of deliver to some areas of the UK on set days of the week and these have proved successful and would welcome discussing some of these option with you and look at any suggestions customers have to improve our service.
