Parfetts has reported strong growth for its Middlesbrough operation, with turnover rising by 28% in the last six months. The company has also signed 15 new fascias as it expands in the North East.
The wholesaler acquired the 76,500 sq. ft. depot in June last year from A.F. Blakemore, who was selling off its cash & carry operation. The acquisition of the warehouse took Parfetts’ total number of warehouses to seven and extended its reach from Wales to the North East and into the Midlands.
Commenting on the growth Joe Kaye, general manager of Parfetts Middlesbrough, commented: “The team in Middlesbrough has worked hard to deliver exceptional service to retailers across the region. We have worked closely with our customers to expand the range and improve the delivery network. Parfetts reputation for great value has attracted new customers to our Retail Club and new fascia members.”
Bay Bashir from the Go Local Bell Vue store in Middlesbrough said: “Parfetts has helped move my business to the next level. The team share our vision of where we can take it, and the move was straightforward. We’ve had a great response to the Go Local fascia, and I love the new store look, it’s fresh and clean, it just works.
“Parfetts offer good value, and it’s about 5% cheaper at wholesale than my previous supplier, which has an immediate benefit on cash flow. I also receive a 2% rebate on his spend, alongside regular offers and some great support.”
