Independent managed service provider, Parseq, has repurposed almost 750,000 cubic feet of storage space at its headquarters
This is to meet growing demand from UK e-commerce companies for logistics and fulfilment support.
Six e-commerce companies have so far taken space in the new South Yorkshire facility, which is near the M1/M18 interchange.
The new warehouse provides secure storage space for up to 6,500 pallets and a team of people available to support same-day dispatch of goods.
Parseq says it has opened the new facility to serve the growing number of small and medium-sized e-commerce companies operating in South Yorkshire and across the UK.
Craig Naylor-Smith, CEO, said: “The UK has become a nation of online shopkeepers, with growing numbers of online retail specialists in South Yorkshire and across the country.
“These are often small businesses, succeeding online but struggling for time and space to fulfil orders quickly.
“With this new facility and the technology that underpins it, we offer a fast, flexible and affordable way for e-commerce companies to deliver any number of orders without expanding and hiring more staff, and without the complex and costly contracts that are common in warehousing and fulfilment.”
Parseq previously used its warehouse space to store millions of sensitive documents for public-sector organisations and major financial institutions.
It continues to provide document storage, management, and digitisation services at its facilities in Rotherham, Runcorn, and Lisburn.
