UKWA visit Distribution House to mark their 80th Anniversary

We were delighted to welcome representatives from the United Kingdom Warehousing Association to Distribution House on Tuesday, as part of the organisation’s ‘2024 The Year of Warehousing’ campaign. Clare Bottle, CEO of the UKWA arrived in style in her liveried Tesla, and was joined by Deborah Vickers, and Angie Dawson, representatives of the Douglas Macmillan Hospice , and Harpreet Sohal, Director of Business Information at our network partners, Palletline. After a meet and greet with some of the Browns team and a company presentation delivered by David Brown Jnr, guests were given a tour of Distribution House, and put through their paces in some fun head-to-head challenges. Around the Warehouses in 80 Visits is an ambitious quest to journey across the UK to highlight the essential role of warehouses in supply chains, the UK economy, and achieving net-zero goals. Distribution House was warehouse #57 on Clare’s journey. As part of the visit, the Browns team have been fundraising for the Douglas Macmillan Hospice ‘Dougie Mac’, with the UKWA matching funds up to £80. We'd like to say a huge thank you everyone who took the time to visit us, and a special thanks to Clare and the UKWA for their tireless efforts in championing the warehousing industry. #TheYearOfWarehousing #YOW2024

An eggs-traordinary response to our Easter mission. Thank you!

We had the pleasure of delivering hundreds of eggs to children and families across Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire last week, as part of our first ever Easter egg appeal. We were proud to support 3 amazing charities; the Hubb Foundation , Alice Charity and the Gingerbread Centre , who dedicate themselves to supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged families in our local community. In total, we managed to collect over 250 eggs of all shapes and sizes along with hundreds of creme eggs, bunnies, bars and other chocolate goodies. Tom Armstrong, Marketing Executive said: "For our first charity appeal of this kind, we were overwhelmed by the response and generosity of our team and customers. There’s nothing quite like team spirit when uniting for a good cause, and we’re already looking forward to our next effort." A huge thank you to our friends at Churchill China (Helen Blackburn), Furlong Mills , Kaspa’s Desserts (Will Bowers) and the Trust Bruce Foundation for their generous support of our appeal. #TeamBrowns
