Nantwich firm Boughey Distribution has been shortlisted for two national awards by UK Warehousing Association.

UKWA’s Annual Awards recognise achievements of individuals and companies operating in the logistics industry.

Boughey, with bases in Wardle and now Shavington off the A500, has been shortlisted in the Infrastructure Project and Value Added Services categories.

Winners will be announced at a lunch being held on Tuesday June 28 at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London.

For the Infrastructure Project Award, Boughey submitted details of its 237,734 sq ft warehouse in Shavington which opened in 2020.

After taking occupancy of the newly-constructed state-of-the-art facility, the company worked to a 28-week timeline to get the new facility fully-operational, requiring an investment of £2.29 million.

Boughey processes around 20,000 pallets a week through the facility, around 40% of the company’s overall volume.

For the Value Added Services Award, Boughey’s submission comprised details of its contract packing expertise including shrink wrapping, re-boxing, re-labelling, free-standing display unit assembly and re-palletising.

The submission also highlighted the company’s e-commerce operation which has expanded rapidly due to the huge surge in online shopping created by COVID-19.

Boughey Warehouse Operations Director Danny Earp said: “Being recognised for two UKWA awards is great news for us and we are very proud to have made been shortlisted.

“Both awards are due to our committed team of people: those who worked so hard to get our Crewe warehouse open under very difficult circumstances and our Value Added Services and E-commerce colleagues who deliver day-in day-out for our customers.

“Our business has been built on flexibility and agility, so value added services have always been an integral part of our offering.

“It’s all about creating value for our customers and putting on a service to save them money by using our infrastructure and expertise.

“Developing value added services has most definitely cemented positive partnerships with customers over the years and is an area of our business that we will continue to develop.”

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
