Peterborough, UK: JS Davidson has spent almost a million pounds upgrading its Peterborough cold store.
J S Davidson, formerly known as Chiltern Cold Storage, spent £220,000 installing a new compressor and air-cooled cooling tower with a further £400,000 on electrical upgrades.
A £250,000 warehouse management system from Principal Logistics Technologies will improve stock management, traceability and transparency of handling and storage.
John Davidson, managing director, JS Davidson said: “Our new game changing warehouse management solution will drive a number of improvements throughout the business, namely provide more scope for reporting, allowing customers to place their own orders through designated portals and vastly improve the transparency and visibility of stock.
“On the electrical side of things, while we have taken strategic steps to minimise the impact of rising energy costs, we also have one eye on becoming more energy efficient and reduce consumption for the benefit of the environment and of course our customers. As a business, we are committed to improving our carbon footprint and creating a sustainable storage business that meets the rigorous requirements of our clients.”
“With ambitions for further growth, we are confident that our recent £1 million investment programme will pay dividends down the line as we continue to establish ourselves as a leading temperature-controlled solutions provider in the UK,” he said.
