To accommodate its continued growth, Premier Farnell recognised a need to increase the stock holding in its Leeds Distribution Centre (DC) – and to do it quickly. BS Handling Systems' proposal ticked all the right boxes; the design included five merge points with the existing system, and crucially, it could be delivered in a relatively short timeframe.
"The guys came to site, they quoted a price and provided a detailed installation schedule; they followed this up by delivering on price and completing the successful installation on time – I mean, what more could you want from a team?”
Historically, the sortation of orders at James and James was handled manually, but the company recognised the need to automate the sortation process and so selected BS Handling Systems to design and install a solution. The system installed includes three conveyor lanes in the packing area which feed completed orders onto the automated 25 station sorter.
In 2022, BS Handling Systems completed the design, manufacture and installation of pick-to-light conveyor lines at Mindful Chef's distribution hub in Redditch. The success of the project led Mindful Chef to commission BS Handling Systems to deliver phase two of its development plans, an automated palletisation solution at the end of the pick-to-light lines.
When online fashion and cosmetics retailer ASOS faced an extremely aggressive timeline to design and fit-out its fourth UK fulfilment centre, the company turned to tried and trusted materials handling partner, BS Handling Systems.
“Rob, Stephen and the BS Handling Systems team have worked with ASOS for a long time and we consider them more than just a supplier. They are definitely key members of the ASOS team and a vital part of what we do on a day-to-day basis.” Sarah Cunningham – Head of Supply Chain Development, ASOS
British healthy meal kit retailer, Mindful Chef, turned to BS Handling Systems when they wanted to add automation into their distribution hub in Redditch. Founded by three friends, Myles Hopper, Rob Grieg-Gran and Giles Humphries, Mindful Chef supplies subscribers with recipe kit boxes which include ready-measured, fresh ingredients and easily followed healthy recipes.
“Partnering with BS Handling Systems has helped us drive the business forward, improving our customer service by minimising errors and speeding up the throughput of our distribution operation. What’s more, not only has it been a pleasure working with such a professional, accommodating company which is excellent at adapting to our needs, but it’s also been fun,” enthuses Matthew Maxwell, Production Lead at Mindful Chef
