of Europe. However, the increasing awareness of sustainability and energy-saving technologies has driven the decision for us to establish a local warehouse to help meet customer demand more effi ciently and cost-eff ectively by importing our UK-specifi c lighting solutions directly to the UK.”
Lee Hickling, Logistics and Warehouse Manager at Ledvance added: “We wanted a UK-based warehouse to streamline our logistics and reduce lead times for deliveries to our
wholesale customers across the UK. Any improvement in service levels greatly increases customer satisfaction. Another plus is that our UK warehouse reduces shipping costs and lowers import tariff s, which lead to signifi cant savings in transportation expenses. It also gives us full control of our local stock. All these benefi ts ultimately accrue to our valued customers in the UK.”
