Sheffield City Region is the driving force behind business growth in the area and two businesses which are situated within the area are enjoying ongoing success and growth together as a result of their partnership agreement.
Carlton Forest Group Ltd and Progressive Safety Footwear and Clothing Ltd have been working together for a number of years now, with both benefitting from the proximity of their businesses in an area flooded with fantastic transport links and business opportunities.
“Our partnership with PSF continues to go from strength to strength and we are proud to be their chosen warehouse, distribution and logistics company,” said Rachael Murray Business Development Manager Carlton Forest Group. “Being part of the Sheffield City Region gives us great confidence for the future of businesses and we hope to form many more long term partnerships to companies that require independent third party warehousing and logistics solutions.”
Carlton Forest Group provides a third party stock control and guarantee storage, delivery and reliability to Progressive Safety Footwear and Clothing Ltd.
“We have some significant customers such as B & Q and we are 100% certain that Carlton Forest Group fits all the criteria needed by them particularly with its excellent Warehouse Management System,” said Howard Topham Managing Director Progressive Safety Footwear and Clothing Ltd. “They understand our business operations and we work closely together to ensure our customers and suppliers are met quickly, efficiently and with full traceability. Our suppliers are able to contact the Carlton Forest team direct to book in deliveries and enjoy the benefits of their 24/7 service which is essential to us.”
A recent £4 million investment to drive growth and ongoing success has recently been received which will allow them to bring more jobs to the region, secure large contracts and ensure its long term future.
One area of the business that has enjoyed significant growth is the co-packing element particularly in the food industry which has seen the group secure major contracts during the recent festive season. This facility was recently recognised when it was awarded the BRC Global Standard for Storage and Distribution, an internationally-acclaimed accreditation for best practice in handling storage and distribution of products.
