Advanced Supply Chain secures Ultra Finishing Group deal

Advanced Supply Chain has won a five-year contract with bathroom product manufacturer Ultra Finishing Group.

The deal promises a reduction in delivery lead times from China, where the Bradford-based operator recently established a freight forwarding service, and includes the roll-out of handsets to improve picking accuracy and stock visability at its warehouses.

A spokesman for the operator confirmed it will also be handling the distribution of products including taps, showers and baths.

Advanced Supply Chain CEO Mike Danby said: “Ultra manufactures high quality products, which prove popular across the UK. It was keen to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its supply chain in a bid to grow revenues, while also increasing levels of customer satisfaction through better picking and delivery schedules.”

Ultra Finishing Group CEO Tony Wood said: “Working together, we are reducing administration and processes, while freeing-up warehouse space and improving the overall end-to-end operation. This is already benefitting productivity, driving outputs and the number of daily dispatches to customers.”
