Comline Group reveals relocation is on-track
Comline Group’s relocation to Bedford Commercial Park is progressing well and is on-track, the global automotive parts supplier has announced.
With site upgrades well underway, and a meticulous plan guiding each step under the watchful eye of Comline Group’s dedicated project team, the transition from its current home in Luton to its new headquarters is said to be taking shape. Though the journey to its new site may only be 17 miles, the task of relocating its multi-million-pound operation and tens of thousands of product SKUs is a complex and multi-faceted challenge. But the organisation is meeting these challenges head-on, and it claims its move to Bedford Commercial Park is due to complete on schedule this summer.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the relocation is the space efficiency of the new Comline Group facility. At 70,000 square feet, the Bedford Commercial Park site has a smaller footprint than the organisation’s current home at Luton Enterprise Park. However, the modern, high-bay design, coupled with the use of innovative warehousing solutions, has reportedly given Comline Group 65,000 picking locations – a six-fold increase on that of its current facility.
The Bedford Commercial Park site is primed to support Comline Group’s inventory, and its boosted capacity, speed and efficiency is designed to ensure the company enhances service levels to its distribution network, one which spans over 50 countries worldwide.
Comline Group Managing Director, Ishan Kamdar, expressed his satisfaction with the progress of the relocation, commenting: “We are encouraged to see the vision for our new Group headquarters taking shape. Every detail has been carefully considered to optimise our operations and to enhance the customer experience.
“As we move closer to completion, and begin the move to our new home, each milestone increases the sense of anticipation. For me, one of the most notable moments thus far was seeing product enter Bedford Commercial Park for the first time, and I am equally eager to see the first customer orders roll out of the new site in the coming weeks.”
With a move to Bedford Commercial Park progressing well, it’s said Comline Group looks poised to embark on a new era of growth and success.
