The Logic of Distribution Centres

Whilst driving round the country I started to think about the ever growing distribution centres / estates.

Yes they might be close to our motorways but if they’re not close to end users then what about their carbon foot print?

As already mentioned there seems to be lots of new buildings springing up. This got me thinking how many of these businesses manage the build and move themselves? This type of project needs specific skills and should not be dealt with as an add on to normal activities. Doing it this way is fraught with danger the project could:

  • Take longer
  • Not achieve its original specification
  • Poor communication may reap undesirable effects
  • Original forecast budget may be exceeded

Avoid these by getting an expert inĀ  - they go away when the project is completed successfully!

The imput of additional resource and or expertise can pay dividends.

I’d be interested to hear you views on distribution centres?
