CMYUK rolls out UK-wide consignment stock service

CMYUK has been supplying roll material consignment stocks to its largest customers for some time, but will now extend this service to its wider client base to help them deal with the same supply chain issues and on-demand requirements as their larger counterparts.

Palletised consignment shipments will be available to organisations that have large internal repositories, while those lacking space will be given a free bespoke shelf racked container for the external storage of roll materials.

Robin East, group commercial director at CMYUK, comments: “There are many advantages to consignment stock procurement and customers have told us that the main reason they haven’t purchased roll materials in this way previously due to a lack of space. However, everyone tends to have available back yard space.”

Damien Clarke, sales director for materials at CMYUK, adds: “Our larger customers may have two/three consignment deliveries a month compared to say ten or so standard deliveries. However, for a smaller customer, a single consignment delivery per month would be more than adequate.

“Customers are happy with the logistics and convenience offered by this procurement service.

“Consignment order fulfilment means having the reliable assurance of stock on the shelf. This feeds into the whole customer experience that reduces job lead times and provides a tighter, more efficient service. It’s these details that makes a good business better.”
