Logistics provider Eldred Group has announced the growth of its eCommerce business following a partnership with Blue Box.

The Group’s partnership with the software development and eCommerce specialist has facilitated the production of bespoke warehousing facilities and storage solutions for manufacturers worldwide.

Doncaster-based Eldred Group has an existing three sites which cover 350,000 sq ft across Yorkshire with an additional 40,000 sq ft space recently added for 7000 pallets in Hexthrope.

Martin Eldred, managing director of Eldred Group, said: “This new collaboration with Blue Box has meant that we’ve invested heavily in a new complex IT infrastructure to compensate for online orders to warehouse management.

“This will enable us to offer worldwide solutions for businesses.

“We believe that this investment will really pay off as online purchasing is a huge growth area. This is the future and we need to be ready for it.

“More and more people are making purchases online and thanks to our eCommerce system we can work with the suppliers to deliver these goods and grow our overall business.

“The value of sterling has meant that we have seen a 25 percent increase in our exports to Europe and we are continuing to grow in this area.

Our eCommerce solutions, where we produce bespoke warehousing facilities and storage solutions for manufacturers, importers and exporters across the world are a great addition to our diverse offering.”
