Deco-Pak confirms investment in improved stock and transport systems



Following an exceptional start to the summer season, Deco-Pak has confirmed that it is has further invested in its stock and transport systems, to ensure even higher levels of service and customer satisfaction can be achieved.

The team at Deco-Pak is dedicated to delivering the best possible customer service to its customers, and this further investment will no doubt help to further cement this reputation.  From improved stock availability, to an increased distribution network, key aspects of the business will benefit from this investment, aspects that will no doubt also benefit retailers in both the short and long term.

David Hall, Deco-Pak’s Operational Director, said: “We’re always looking at ways to improve our business, and felt that now was the right time to invest in both our stock and transport systems.

"We’ve already purchased over £500,000 in new state of art machinery that will enable us to increase stock levels significantly, and will shortly be finalising a new transportation partnership, which will see our distribution network grow, whilst also improving our delivery lead times.

"We’ve also welcomed a number of new operation staff, meaning we are now in a position to offer our customers even more unrivalled service levels.”

Additionally, Deco-Pak will further improve its recently re-launched website. Featuring an updated visual design, the new website will feature a more user-friendly format, and even more consumer-focussed content including videos and improved stockist information. Further details about the website will be announced soon.

David added: “The announcement surrounding our investment in our stock and transport systems marks an exciting period for us as we ramp up activity ahead of Glee 2014. 

"We’ve some exciting plans for the show this year, and hope that our customers – both existing and potential – will join us on-stand to find out more.”
