ETS Distribution is no stranger to innovation. Its four-acre site in the East Midlands has 12,000ft2 of purpose-built office space including training rooms, to complement its 70,000ft2 of warehousing.
The loading bays all have cross-docking ports so that freight can be unloaded safely inside, with only the curtainsiders being loaded in the yard.
The company specialises in bringing in containers of freight and offering a full logistics service around product fulfilment. It has also put a manager into a customer's factory to implement a stock-control system. This move has cut client costs by 20%.
Much of the work is palletised and a proportion of that goes through network TPN.
ETS offers ETS Online, a national payas-you-go booking service from anywhere in the UK to anywhere in the European continent, which brings a lot of work into the company and the network.
