PFS on track for mainland fulfilment launch
Professional Fulfilment Services, a fulfilment company based in Jersey, is on the point of establishing a mainland UK base. Sites in the Cardiff area have been examined, and a decision is expected soon.
According to director Michael Boarer, the move reflects the company's desire to confirm its position as a nationwide UK fulfilment business - one that can compete with any that emerged from mainland origins. 'We are already talking to several potential clients about mainland-based fulfilment operations,' Boarer told F&E.
Up to now, fulfilment companies based in the Channel Islands have tended to base their proposition around the attractions inherent in the VAT exemption available on low-value goods despatched from there. Whilst PFS already does offer this type of fulfilment, Boarer says it also aims to compete on equal terms for other types of traffic.
Strengths in the company's offer are said to include its process design capabilities, in-house IT systems and focus on stock-picking accuracy.
