Fusion Utilities says that its new Chesterfield fulfilment centre will “improve operational efficiency, capacity and customer service,” all combined with a sustainable design.
The 150,000 sq. ft, multi-million-pound facility has been designed to support the Wolseley Infrastructure company “in its journey to being the leading supplier to the UK’s water, gas, power, and telecommunication sectors” by supporting its “fulfilment capabilities and stock capacity by integrating faster, streamlined distribution and fulfilment systems.”
This will enable the brand to accommodate its largest range of utilities stock so far, seeing customers have access to a range of products when, and wherever they need them, with minimal environmental impact.
Conveniently situated at junction 29A of the M1 to offer excellent accessibility to the UK’s motorway network, the facility has also been designed with a number of environmentally friendly features such as EV charging stations, energy-efficient lighting, solar panels, eco-friendly materials, and a large recycling centre as part of Fusion’s wider carbon footprint reduction strategy within the utilities sector.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the launch was held on Tuesday 3rd December with Fusion Technical Director Neal Lambert joined by the Wolseley leadership team consisting of Chairman Bruno Deschamps, CEO Simon Gray, COO John Hancock, MD Infrastructure Matt Parker and CFO Nicky Thomas.
National Sales Director David Coxhead said: “Our new flagship facility at Horizon 29 will facilitate us to improve the level of service we provide to a world-class level. There is no other centre in the UK with the same stock level. The structure to transport it efficiently and quickly to our customers for the whole of England, Scotland, and Wales in full and on time will truly allow us to focus on our Customer First approach to business.
“It is a game changer for us and the whole Infrastructure distribution sector, but most of all for our customers.”
