Lanchester Wine Cellars Ltd

Lanchester Wine Cellars bottle and supply wines to most major stores. As the bottling operation has grown, Lanchester has had to move in to warehousing and now stores finished products for clients including Tesco, Sainsbury and Asda. “As you would imagine,” said UKWA Inspector, Geoff Cook, “Lanchester’s operations need to be of the highest standards to warehouse goods on behalf of these companies. I can safely say, nothing has been left to chance.”

Law Distribution Ltd

“As soon as I entered the building, I immediately had the impression that this was a well run organization,” recalls UKWA Inspector, Ken Richards. Ken was particularly impressed by the enthusiasm of Law Distribution’s management team which, he felt, filtered down to all levels of the company’s staff. “This is an organized company operating out of good premises and I am sure they will have further success,” he added.

Gem Logistics

UKWA inspector Duncan Pannell had no hesitation in recommending GEM Logistics for the Best New UKWA Member award.

From its purpose-built 250,000 sq ft warehouse in Northamptonshire, the company provides services to Amazon, Argos, Asda, M&S, Tesco, John Lewis, DSG, Weetabix, Dr Martens & Simplehuman (UK) Ltd among others and is the exclusive distributor for the Microsoft Xbox.

Due to the sensitivity and value of goods stored a host of security systems are in place while the equally important issues of health and safety and cleanliness are all dealt with in a professional way. “In my view this superb facility will make Gem hard to beat in the Best New Member category of the 2013 UKWA Awards,” said Duncan Pannell.
