LKQ Leisure and Marine has completed a £400,000 programme of investment in its central UK distribution centre and HQ.
The distributor of parts and accessories to the static and touring caravan, motorhome, and marine sectors, formerly known as Arleigh Group, encompasses LKQ Nova Leisure, LKQ Arleigh, LKQ Aquafax, and Midland Chandlers and acts as fulfilment support for ASAP Supplies.
Changes to the facility include the incorporation of a mezzanine level which has added an extra 8,500sqft of warehouse space, taking the total to 87,000sqft.
The warehouse now houses more than 24,000 product lines, with capacity for further expansion.
“This programme of investment has helped us to create a national centre of excellence at Century Park, so that we can deliver an even better experience for our customers,” said Adam Ramsden, MD of LKQ Leisure and Marine.
“Today we carry more inventory across more product lines, and our availability and next day delivery performance is better than ever. Our investment in digital systems and in our people has continued to build a customer-centric organisation at every level.
“We are in a strong position to keep investing, growing, and improving, both as a supplier and an employer, as part of the LKQ UK and Ireland Group.”
In addition to the investment in warehouse space, LKQ Leisure and Marine has also invested in live-stock updates and live order-tracking, direct delivery, click and collect, and a focus on hitting 100% availability on key lines – now extending to over 500 products.
