Christmas comes early for Norbert Dentressangle

Drinks warehousing and logistics firm Norbert Dentressangle has announced that it is experiencing higher than usual demand for its space with Christmas just over two months away.

The company has said that it believes the increased demand for space could be a sign of economic recovery. As well as drinks Norbert Dentressangle is experiencing strong demand from the food manufacturing, fashion retail and e-commerce sectors.

The company has also seen increased demand for added-value services including contract packing, product customisation and re-labelling.

Martin Palmer, business development director for Norbert Dentressangle Logistics says: “Christmas is always a busy time of year, with many companies having a requirement for overflow storage in order to meet increased demand. We also regularly provide additional regional support during the winter months to help companies mitigate possible disruption from severe weather.

“While it’s difficult to be certain about the reasons, we have seen a dramatic reduction in the amount of available space in our network in recent months and are optimistic that this could be indicative of an improvement in the economic conditions.”

The company said that it has already seen a 30% reduction in the amount of space available, with sites receiving more enquiries and filling up earlier than in previous years.
