Floor and wall tile distributor Distribution Supplies has purchased a new distribution hub, adding to its existing four-depot distribution network.

The facility, based in Hadleigh near Ipswich, will provide a logistics hub of 80,000ft2. Adding to its existing space of 160,000ft2, it will now facilitate the storage of around 20,000 pallets of tiles. 

Strategically located just 13 miles from Felixstowe, the site is ideally placed to enable the group to be futureproofed and prepared for the opportunities that will come following Brexit and the post-COVID landscape. It is envisaged that the new facility will be used as a bulk feeder hub, where bulk stocks will be held ex UK rather than overseas to avoid lengthy delays. Initially only full pallets will be distributed from Hadleigh, with the normal mixed pallet service available from all other depots.
