Abbey Logistics has proven to be a great addition to our network . It has brought in many synergies throughout the business that benefit both our internal working culture , and our clients ,” Michael enthuses .
Fleet investment
This latest acquisition is just one of many investments Sitra Group has made over recent months . These strategic moves are designed to prepare the company for considerable long-term growth , as Michael reveals : “ Our warehouses in Dover and Bromborough have both seen major investments over the past 12 months , as we prepare to step up operations across the UK . We have installed new racking systems at both locations , this will improve our standards for our on-site teams and our clients ’ goods . We ’ ve also ensured that both sites hold BRC accreditation . This is an independent food safety certification that is recognized by supermarkets and large organizations as proof that high food safety standards are in place and that a food company is safe to supply . Cleaning stations provide another value-added service that the Sitra Group is keen to emphasize . These are open to service our own and other fleets and are in Hull , UK , Sailly-sur-lalys , France , Villafranca Piemonte , Italy , and Panevezys , Lithuania .”
It ’ s clear that Sitra Group is setting the stage for significant expansion over the next few years . With big plans , Michael discusses where he sees Sitra Group in five years ’ time : “ Looking a few years down the line , I think Sitra Group will be at least double the size it is today . That means twice as many facilities , a larger fleet , and a much broader geographical footprint . We ’ re always making investments into our asset fleet , and I can see the business bringing in some exciting and innovative technology in the coming years . Additionally , a lot of our work at the higher levels has been about diversification . We want to make sure our offering is as broad as possible , so it ’ s exciting to think what we could be doing , and the kinds of services we could be offering , in just a few years ’ time .” ■
