The 300 strong team at a market-leading 3pl logistics facility in Corby – whose operations are geared up to serving practically any product type, from cosmetics and perfumes to components, electricals and general consumer goods – has just celebrated its second birthday, during which a brand-new ambition for the facility was also unveiled by its leaders.
Europa’s Corby warehouse was constructed and commissioned at the height of the global pandemic, to the very latest specification, with above market standard 18 metre heights to facilitate three floors of mezzanines. To maximise the height of the building, racking has been built to nine levels (most other warehouses have only seven) and utilises the very latest very narrow aisle and integrated systems technology.
Europa Warehouse provides a range of value-added capabilities including e-commerce fulfilment, production services, inventory management, packing, labelling, special deliveries, final assembly, quality control and critical parts management. Corby operates alongside two other award-winning sites in Dartford and Birmingham, offering a combined 1,072,000 sq. ft of dedicated warehouse and logistics space.
As well as marking the two-year anniversary of the opening of its £60m 750,000 sq. ft 3pl warehouse at Midlands Logistics Park, specialist logistics provider, Europa Warehouse made it clear it wants Corby to be recognised as the employer of choice within the region.
It aims to achieve this by creating a workplace where employees have a great experience, receive competitive pay rates, and are able to develop careers and skills through training and development programmes.
Europa Warehouse Division Director Dionne Redpath, who is also Group Chief Operating Officer for Europa Worldwide Group, explained: “The second anniversary of the official opening of our Corby facility was a fantastic opportunity to bring our teams together to celebrate over cake and a catch up.
“In chatting to colleagues, we also took this opportunity to share our own ambition with them. As well as offering a safe, good humoured and fulfilling place to work, we want Europa Corby to be a place where everyone comes together and enjoys seeing their collective effort come to fruition through fantastic levels of customer service.
“During the two years since Corby has been operational, we’ve made significant progress – having delivered efficiencies and improved our offering to customers. We’re also deeply focused on boosting the culture in our workplace.
“Our goal is for our growing team to feel highly valued, so they become a part of something bigger, bolder, and better as they embark on their journey with us.
“We want everyone to feel proud of Europa Corby and to tell their friends and families about our determination to grow the Warehouse division and the overall Group even more in the coming months and years.”
