Distributor Copdock Mill is launching a nationwide delivery service at PATS (Stand D64), as part of a five-year strategy to become a national player in the wholesale sector.
Currently the firm operates within central and eastern UK with its own vehicles, with a small number of customers outside of that area ordering from a reduced range served by a pallet carrier. Following the national launch at PATS, customers across the country will be able to order from the company’s full catalogue, with deliveries initially fulfilled by a distribution partner while the company looks to secure an additional warehouse.
Copdock Mill is a manufacturer of bird feed and fishing bait as well as having a large wholesale range, including a wide selection of equine products. It is also an approved distributor for the Trixie brand.
The company will offer free deliveries on orders over £600 + vat within mainland UK, with orders placed before 11am picked and dispatched the same day (excluding weekends and bank holidays).
Orders that qualify for free delivery will be sent using an economy 48-hour service, and a small number of post code areas will be subject to a delivery surcharge.
Business development director Darrel Strachan told PBW News: “Outside of our region in the East of the country, people don’t know much about us. What we want is to get our name out there and show that there is another option for retailers.”
The PATS show will run on September 29-October 1 at the Telford International Centre.
