A packaging and logistics firm has expanded its footprint in the West Midlands by investing in a second warehousing operation. Lesters has invested £100,000 in launching the base in south Staffordshire where it has fitted out the 25,000 sq ft facility near its headquarters in Mount Road, Burntwood, with flexible racking.
It can now store more than 2,000 pallets at the site and has created 15 new jobs as part of the investment. This latest move, coupled with its existing Lesters Logistics facility in Nuneaton, has taken the company's storage space capacity to 47,000 sq ft.
It said the launch would help the firm bring its storage of its stocked items in-house, reducing lead times and aiming to achieve better customer service for clients in the aerospace, automotive, pharma, renewables and online shopping sectors.
